Relaxation for Cats: How to Recognize and Prevent Stress

Dear Scratching Cactus Family,

Relaxation is just as important for your kitty as playtime and adventure. Felix and Luna show you today how to spot stress in your cat — and how to create more calm and comfort in their daily life.


Spot the signs — recognizing stress early

Withdrawal, changes in eating habits, or restlessness: cats will show you when something feels off. When Felix gets overwhelmed, he quietly retreats to his cozy den — and is happy when the world calms down again.

A cozy retreat for downtime

Every cat needs a quiet space of their own. Luna loves her soft pillow by the window where she can watch birds and relax in peace.

Daily routines = more calm

Regular mealtimes, peaceful play sessions, or evening cuddle time — familiar routines give your cat a sense of security and help them relax through the day. Felix and Luna truly enjoy their daily rituals!

Conclusion: Less stress, more happiness!

With a little mindfulness, you can turn your home into a calming haven — for happy, relaxed kitties like Felix and Luna.

Stay tuned for more tips on keeping your cat’s life stress-free and full of purrs!

Best wishes,
Your Scratching Cactus Team 🌵
