How to be happy with your cat
The editorial staff of Woman’s Day observed the cats and made interesting conclusions.
Which animal is easiest to imagine happy? Of course a cat! Your beloved pet will help you learn to enjoy the present, be grateful for everything and at the same time feel your own dignity.
Fill your world only with what is pleasant and interesting for you. The cat will never spend time with someone with whom he is uncomfortable, do what you would like from him. Listen to your desires, ask yourself a question, what would you do right now, what is pleasant and interesting for you. Meet interesting people, have fun, play sports, eat delicious food, indulge in pleasant shopping.
There is no need to adapt to the situation – to wait until someone from your family wants to eat or sleep, listen to your desires. Try making your cat play when he wants to sleep! Yes, he will fall asleep on the go. But when you get enough sleep, it will be cheerful and full of energy.
2. Concentrate on what you are doing
You’ve probably noticed how your pet catches a fly or a sun bunny. He turns into a string, nothing can distract his attention: neither food, nor some kind of noise. People are walking nearby, talking, something is falling, beating, and this furry predator does not break away from its occupation for a second until it reaches a certain goal. Likewise, you often surrender to the state of “flow”, when you are immersed in your work, feel interested, confident, do something with pleasure and at the same time as productively as possible.
3. Be a little child at any age
Does it sound familiar when an adult cat suddenly starts running after a string or a toy mouse? How her eyes light up at the same time! Or how the same cat fervently starts playing catch-up with you. Indulge in small pranks sometimes. No, you don’t have to drop flower pots or cut curtains with scissors. But to allow yourself such a small hooliganism as oversleeping at work, not washing the dishes, radically changing your hairstyle, and so on, is quite acceptable.
Who, if not cats, are a good example of how to like yourself and take care of yourself. In the morning, you must definitely wash, smooth your fur, and then admire your reflection several times during the day. Only without fanaticism!
Why do cats love to sit on the windowsill so much? Because outside the window there is an amazing and wonderful world with its sunsets and sunrises. Don’t like rain? Look after the cat, how it plays with the drops running on the glass, or sleeps peacefully under the sound of the flowing stream of water. He enjoys, relaxes and lives in the present. Sit with him at this moment, do not do any business, but just watch the sunset. Life is amazingly beautiful! To see this, sometimes it is enough to look out the window with your pet.
The cat will always choose the most comfortable place to lie down. Sometimes this is your pillow or yourself. Create a space around you where you can happily return. Buy a chair that feels good to curl up in a ball and read a book. And be sure to get a good night’s sleep. A cat can sleep for 18 hours or even a day. And in any place and under any circumstances. If he physically needs it.
How often our fears poison our lives. We are afraid to leave our comfort zone, to try new things. For cats, curiosity is more important than fear. It should be so. By doing what is unfamiliar and unfamiliar to us, we develop, fill, live life to the fullest. The main thing is, if something did not work out, do not despair, but land softly on four legs and move forward again!
8. Take care of your body
The cat will not eat bad food, he will only choose quality meat. Yes, and there is all the food at once too – he will divide it into several receptions. And, as you know, fractional meals are the most useful. And if extra fat appears, it will only add attractiveness to him, but not in any way worries about this.
According to research, the owners of cats and cats are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. This is understandable. You came home from work, nervous, tired, and then on the doorstep you are greeted with such rumbling and joy that all negative emotions go away right there, you should take your friend in your arms. Pat behind your ear, pat your tummy: all your worries are unnecessary fuss, there are things that are much more important!
Have you noticed that the cat is always waiting for you at the door? He hardly heard a rustle in the keyhole. He just knew that you were coming, and he knew it in advance. Where? Intuition. And also the scent, it is much more subtle than the human. And sensitive feet that detect even the smallest vibrations of the ground. It turns out that you and I can also develop intuition.

11. Feel free to talk about your desires
When you want affection, you don’t have to wait modestly until they remember you. Walk up to your loved one, hug him, sit on your knees and say something nice. The cats succeeded in this. It is enough for them to rub their feet, ask for the arms and purr sweetly. And when this tailed beast wanted to eat, you will definitely notice him by the persistent meowing in the kitchen.
Unhappy people always wait for some circumstance to be happy. But happiness does not depend on the presence of money or some person nearby, everyone has it inside. Look at your pet and understand a simple truth: to be happy, a person only needs him. Yes, your cat loves you and misses you, but he only shares what he has – joy, affection, gratitude. When you are happy yourself, so are those who are with you.
