cat ownership

Owning a cat involves providing regular nutrition, fresh water, and a clean litter box, along with routine veterinary care to ensure health. Cats benefit from mental and physical stimulation through play and environmental enrichment. They are generally independent but still require attention, affection, and social interaction. Understanding their body language and preferences helps foster a strong bond. Proper care also includes observing for health issues and ensuring a safe indoor environment. With responsible management, cats can be loving companions, often living 12-16 years or more.
