This week we focus on the value cats add to the lives of their humans. It is time to appreciate all the perks and privileges that come with having a cat as a pet.

Love and Affection

Always remember the well-being of your cat is your responsibility. Providing your feline with love, attention, and nurturing care results in an ever-growing bond of affection between the two of you. Taking your cat in for regular checkups and ensuring that your feline’s environment is safe will help give your kitty companion a long and satisfying life.

Comfort and Companionship

A close relationship with your feline provides a consistent source of comfort and companionship for you. Perhaps it is the joy of having your cat snuggle next to you on the couch as you relax after a busy day. It could be the way he or she stays by your side to comfort you when you are sick. Just watching your cat's funny antics as it plays can boost your mood. There is a reason why watching cute cat videos on the internet is such a popular activity!

Lower Stress Levels

After a stressful day at work, it is comforting to have a fluffy feline hop on your lap and calm you with gentle purring as you stroke its fur and give a few chin scratches. No other pet knows how to comfortably relax with you the way a cat does.

We hope you enjoyed Happy Cat Month and learned more about keeping your feline friend happy. Look to Pet Hospitals of Hawaii for the best in veterinary care for your cat. Your pet’s well-being is our most important job.
