How to Show Your Cat You Love Them
The best way to show our cats we love them is to help them feel like their wild cat ancestors! We can do this by giving them choices and control and by playing with them with a wand toy. When cats feel in control of their life they will feel so incredibly happy and content.

Step By Step
Awaken Their Inner Predator
Even domesticated cats have wild instincts. They see the world through the lens of predator and prey, driven to hunt while staying alert to danger.
Let Them Take the Lead
Give your cat choices instead of forcing interactions. Offer your hand and let them decide if they want pets. Hold out a brush and see if they’re interested. Picking them up unexpectedly can make them feel like prey, so let them stay in control.
Make Play a Daily Ritual
Engage their natural hunting instincts with interactive play. Every day, give them a chance to stalk, chase, and pounce. Always finish playtime with a treat to mimic the satisfaction of catching and eating prey.
