Well-being in an apartment
For cats living in apartments, it is crucial to ensure a stimulating and secure environment. Physical and mental well-being play a central role in overall health.
Enriched environment:
Play areas: Set up spaces with various toys and climbing structures.
Accessible windows: Allow access to secure windows so the cat can observe the outside.
Health and nutrition:
Regular veterinary check-ups: Annual exams help monitor general health and prevent disease.
Balanced diet: Provide food appropriate to the age, weight and health of the cat.
Interactions sociales :
Play time: Devoting time each day to play with the cat strengthens the emotional bond and reduces boredom.
