If you’ve been wondering what you might be able to do to have a happy cat, here are five steps to get you started:

Most cats generally will cooperate and learn tricks for food rewards. If you use soft moist cat food or dry food as a treat, you will lessen the chance of disturbing a properly balanced diet.

Cats don’t exhibit an official “play bow” in the way that dogs do so each cat may solicit playtime in different ways.

Whatever the behavior challenge is that you may be facing, keep in mind that your cat’s behavior makes sense to him and serves a purpose – even if you can’t figure it out.
