Cat Daily Routine
Food & Water: Ensure fresh water is always available and replenish food as needed. Using a puzzle feeder can provide mental stimulation while allowing your cat to graze throughout the day. Keep the feeding area clean to prevent bacteria buildup.
Grooming & Hygiene:
Brushing: Long-haired cats need daily brushing, while short-haired breeds require less frequent grooming.
Ear & Teeth Care: Check and clean ears as needed, and brush your cat’s teeth regularly to maintain oral health.
Claw Maintenance: Trim claws if they become too long to prevent overgrowth and scratching issues.
Physical & Mental Stimulation: Engage your cat with interactive toys like feather wands or laser pointers. Provide scratching posts, climbing trees, and cozy resting spots to create a stimulating environment.
Preparation Steps for Grooming

Signs like tail twitching, flattened ears, or trying to escape indicate distress.
