Tip

TIP #1:
LItter Box location matters

Not a fan of doing your business next to the washing machine? Neither are we. Keep our litter box in a quiet, private spot—because even a cat needs some peace while doing important things.

TIP #2:
GIVE THEM ROOM TO GROOVE

Nobody likes feeling cramped — not even your cat. Choose a litter box that’s big enough for stretching, digging, and spinning in circles (because yes, that’s part of the routine). Happy space, happy cat!

TIP #3:
SCOOP DAILY, STAY FRESH

Imagine walking into a bathroom that hasn’t been cleaned in days... yikes. Same goes for your cat! Scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, clean, and inviting — just the way your cat (and your nose) likes it.

TIP #4:
MULTI-CAT HOMES NEED MULTI-BOX SOLUTIONS

Sharing is caring — except when it comes to litter boxes. If you have multiple cats, the golden rule is one box per cat, plus one extra. No one likes waiting in line when nature calls!

TIP #5:
Rotate the Toy Parade

Even the fanciest feather wand loses its charm after a while. Keep playtime exciting by rotating toys weekly. It's like Netflix for cats—new episodes keep us hooked!Naturo Pet Food

TIP #6:
Window Seats Are Prime Real Estate

A cozy perch by the window offers endless entertainment. Birds, squirrels, and the occasional leaf dance—it's our version of reality TV. Just ensure the sun doesn't overheat our VIP lounge.

TIP #7:
Whisper, Don't Shout

Loud noises? No, thank you. We prefer our environment calm and serene. Soft music or gentle tones keep our stress levels low and our purrs high.

TIP #8:
Scent-sational Comfort

Familiar scents make us feel at home. A blanket with your scent or a dab of catnip can turn any spot into a comfort zone. It's aromatherapy, feline-style.

TIP #9:
Freshen up the routine

Even the cleanest litter needs a little boost. Sprinkle in some deodorant beads between full changes to keep things neutral and pawsitive. No heavy perfumes, just pure comfort.

Question:

QUESTION:
WHY IS MY CAT MEOWING AT 3 AM LIKE IT’S KARAOKE NIGHT?

BART says: Ah, the 3 AM zoomies—classic. We’re nocturnal-ish by nature. Give us more playtime during the day, and a late evening snack. We might just let you sleep… maybe.

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT KICK LITTER EVERYWHERE LIKE THEY'RE DIGGING TO CHINA?

BART says: Hey, we’re just making sure everything is just right. A good dig is part of the bathroom ritual! To help keep the mess contained, try a bigger litter box or one with higher sides. Bonus: less sweeping for you!

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT IGNORE THE BRAND-NEW TOY AND PLAY WITH THE BOX?

BART says: Listen, boxes are elite. They crinkle, they hide us, they’re perfect. Fancy toys are cool too — but never underestimate the magic of cardboard. It’s a cat thing.

QUESTION:
WHY DOES MY CAT SPRINT OUT OF THE LITTER BOX LIKE THEY’RE ON FIRE?

BART says: Mission accomplished! Sometimes we get a sudden burst of energy after doing our business. It’s called the "poo-phoria" — and honestly, you should try it sometime. 10/10, highly recommend.

QUESTION:
Why does my cat knead me like dough?

BART says: Ah, the classic "making biscuits" move. It's a leftover kitten habit that signals comfort and affection. Consider it a feline compliment—you’re the chosen one.

QUESTION:
Why does my cat bring me "gifts" like bugs or socks?

BART says: We're natural hunters, and sharing our "prey" is our way of contributing to the household. Bugs, socks, or toy mice—it's all love, wrapped in fur.

QUESTION:
Why does my cat stare at me while knocking things off the table?

BART says: It's a combination of curiosity and a dash of mischief. Plus, your reaction is just too entertaining to resist.

QUESTION:
Why does my cat suddenly sprint around the house at night?

BART says: That's the "midnight zoomies." Our inner wildcat emerges under the moonlight. It's our way of staying fit and fabulous.

QUESTION:
Why does my cat refuse to use the litter box sometimes?

BART says: If it smells funky or feels off, we’ll take our business elsewhere. Try switching to a natural litter like FreshAires—it’s scent-free, soft on the paws, and actually controls odor. We’re picky. Deal with it.
