5 ways to keep your cat healthy and happy

We love our sweet cat. He has been in our family for almost 13 years now and he is as much a part of the family as any of us (and he knows it, too!). We want him to be with us as long as possible, so we take care of him the best we can to make sure he is healthy and happy. He loves play time, snuggle time, and especially meal time. Doing what we can to make him happy is just a small part. He brings so much joy to my kids. They love him — and often fight over him — so I know he needs a good diet and exercise to stay healthy and be with us as long as possible. We found the new Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend cat food, and since he has started eating it, I can see a difference in him.

The food itself has really tender meaty pieces. He LOVES that. I can’t tell you how often he tried to snitch meat from the kids’ plates or from the kitchen when no one was looking. But since we started feeding him the Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend cat food, he just wants his own tender meaty pieces and crunchy kibble. Not only does it taste good to him, but it is good for him. Real chicken or salmon is the first ingredient. Both varieties have omega fatty acids for a healthy coat and skin, as well as prebiotic fiber to help promote digestive health.

I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t had a cat. Even when I was at college I had one at home that I saw every weekend. Cats are great friends and great for kids. (Of course, we have a dog that we and the kids love very much, too!) I want to share five ways to keep your cat happy and healthy:

1. Give your cat attention. Play games, snuggle, pet and make time for him/her.
2. Feed him/her a healthy cat food (like Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend) that will give him/her nutrition, taste and texture.
3. Make sure to have perches by the windows or on shelves so they can see outside, as well as a bed/box that he/she can sleep in.
4. Plant little pots of catnip and cat grass in a sunny window for your cat to enjoy.
5. Have toys/scratching posts available for him/her to play with when you are not available. Sprinkle a little catnip in the area to make it more exciting.

Having a cat is so good for my heart. He gives me more than even I realize sometimes. I want to take the best care of him, which is why I love the new Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend. It combines great ingredients to make an amazing food for him that I can trust. We love our cat and want to give him the best, so we give him the best cat food. Try Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend
for your cat.
