For Your Cat's Best Life

As cat owners, we want the best for our cats, but they can be incredibly hard to shop for. They are often more interested in the box the toy came in than the toy itself and turn any random object, like hair ties, into the world's best toss toy. This behaviour may leave you wondering—is it even worth buying anything for your furry little friend? Of course it is, and that is why Ren’s has put together this list of items that will help your cat live their best life.

Cat Trees

Since cats are independent creatures, many believe that means they are low-maintenance and therefore do not require much entertainment. While you do not have to walk your cat or let them out to do their business, that does not mean they do not require a stimulating environment. Cats are natural climbers and jumpers, and often feel safest when up high. That is your cat will often jump up on furniture, countertop, and even cabinetry. Cat trees take care of your cats' need to climb and jump while also creating a safe space they can claim as their own. Cat trees also promote exercise and both physically and mentally stimulate your cat, which not only saves your furniture and countertops but also leads to a happy cat.

Cat Beds

Cats can sleep anywhere and at any time, so it is understandable to think that they may not need a cat bed. However, cat beds have many benefits, the first being helping them find a comfortable spot. When a cat has a bed, it encourages them to sleep in one spot and allows the cat to feel safe as they know that bed is theirs. Using cat beds, especially in your home office, will allow your cat to be close to you without them feeling like they have to be on top of you.

Wet Food

Many cat owners view wet food as a special treat they give their cat once a week or on special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas. However, wet food has many health benefits and should be incorporated into your cat's diet more often. Wet food is high in protein and moisture, which will aid in keeping your cat hydrated and energized. It is also good for cats who may have to shed a little weight as it is already pre-portioned.

Collars and Harnesses

While it is true that you do not have to walk a cat like you do a dog, that does not mean cats do not benefit from time outside. Cats enjoy going outside as there are new sounds and smells to explore, which is both mentally and physically stimulating. To ensure they are safe while exploring the world outside, harnesses will ensure your cat stays close to you while still keeping them comfortable.
