Instantly Improve Your Cat's Life with these 7 Things

I'd say submitting to my cat's every whim and accepting her role as overlord of the house has made her life better

I had a cat who was my soul mate. I found him and 4 baby siblings covered in mud outside. As a kitten, he was sick one day and the vet said there’s not much to do. He had kidney failure, liver failure … I decided to take him home from the vet. Some people told me they wouldn’t have. My precious Boise lived 20 years. The best boy in the world.

Here’s another thing: TALK to your cat! My cats and I have conversations every day, we all love it, especially my Siamese, she will go back and forth with me for 30 minutes, no joke.

1. Variety of food 2. Spread out their resources (food, bed, litter box, water, toys) 3. Litter boxes. 2 for 1 cat, 3 for 2, etc,. (Put in social area) 4. Avoid whisker stress (use a wider food bowl vs a deep one) 5. Clip claws & give medicine 6. Cat proofing your house 7. Play with your cat!!!

I noticed my cat never drank water from his bowl but he always wanted to drink out of my mug. So now he has his own mug of water! He loves it!

I love how over 1 million people have watched this to try and make cats lives happier ❤

The BEST thing you can do when it comes to PLAYING WITH YOUR CAT is to do it just before meal time! Whatever the feeding schedule, put a timer on for 5-10m and play with your cat, then put their fresh meal down when you're done. Feeding them after a 'hunt' is an easy way to incorporate play into the day and combine their physical/mental health by nurturing their base instincts.

We adopted a fourteen year old declawed kitty. I thought her paws probably felt very sensitive, so I bought a sensitive paw cat litter and she seemed to like it. Because of you Mr. Galaxy, I started to think about how to improve their lives since we are their guardians. Thank you for the gift of your teaching!!

What has made my cats' life better? Me paying attention, making more of an effort to understand their perspective. They have a lot more to say to me than I thought.

I adopted my first cat this year ...Im 52. He loves me and I think he's an incredible guy. He loves my dog and the three of us live in a serene environment

I am blessed. I can hold my cats like a baby..kiss them, massage their bellies and beans endlessly..everywhere I go, cats find me. I carry catfood when I travel because for sure they need food and water. I talk to them like a loving mom and they respond like loving children..I am proud to be the catlady.

My motto is "kind hands". Whatever you do with your cat, be gentle and loving and show and mindful. Whether it's playing or working in the same room or picking them up or administering medicine. I apply this even to the noise I make. When I step around my cats, I try to be careful and tread lightly. When I have to open a garbage bag, I go into another room. It's a small thing but we love the gentleness and peace this adds to our life.

I’m a brand new cat Mom. I found a tiny 4 week old kitten on the side of the road and when I got out of the car she literally leapt into my arms. I said she wasn’t staying but we’ve been together a month and now I say she isn’t going 😂 I’m so happy I found your channel because I have never ever had a cat and I feel so lost somedays. In comparison to “raising” my dogs, I have no clue how to be the best cat-mom I can be. Your videos have made me confident I’m giving Twix her best life, thank you so much for your content!!

The part about the whiskers almost made me cry. I had no idea about whisker stress. When we adopted our cat, he was a day away from getting euthanized by our local animal shelter. One side of his whiskers was cut off to about a half inch long. He had serious trust issues and it took him a long time to adjust. Now 2 years later he is an amazing cat, and we spoil him with love.

Cat fountain! One of our cats has always, always had issues drinking out of a regular water bowl, and insisted on drinking out of the sink instead. She would literally go thirsty until someone was around to give her water. So: filtered cat fountain. She gets safe water whenever she needs it, and we don't get yelled at as much. Win-win. Also, say bye before you leave. They do miss us when we're gone. And when you get back, or when you wake up, go find them individually and say hi. They will notice.

I am obsessed with this guy tbh, i love how intelligent and how passionate he is about improving cats lives!!!

I trim my cats nails when she's sleepy/napping. Just pet her a few times, get her purring and then trim a few at a time, come back for the rest later. No pressure, no rush, no stress. It works great for us :)

I brush them, play with them, walk with them in my garden, feed them a variety, look after their health, 4 litter boxes, two cat trees, low dishes, toys around the house, etc. My last sweetheart lived 23 years. Love them <3

Jackson my cat absolutely loves your shows she focuses on the screen and enjoys it. Specifically the teaching shows she loves the Improve your cats life. She gets very annoyed if i rewind cause I missed something. She looks at me as if to say “really! I was watching that!!”

PRO TIP: If you provided your cat with plate-style food dishes and they still insists on taking food off the plate to eat it on the floor, then you are left with 2 options: Accept that you need to mop your kitchen floor every day or put something under their plates that you won't mind washing or throwing away. I went with option #2. I found a big roll of butcher's paper online and that works PERFECTLY. Butcher's paper has a plastic coating one one side, so I just unroll about 3 feet of it and put it on the ground, plastic side down. The cats don't seem to care that it's there and the plastic layer keeps smells and juices from reaching your floor. It makes mopping easy. Hope that helps!
