100 Ways to Spoil Your Cat

100. Floor to Ceiling Windows

Another good way to spoil your kitties is to give them floor to ceiling windows and encourage barn swallows to nest nearby - fascinating!

102. Waterfall

We live in Chicago and are lucky enough to have a large deck on the back of our apartment. I bought a 7-gallon waterfall pond and have it installed right outside of the dining room windows so Minge (my cat) can sit on the dining chairs the window sash or on the floor in front of the windows and watch the birds come to the pond to bathe and drink. It is an endless source or entertainment for her thru the Spring Summer and Fall months.

103. Kitty Grass

My kitties don't ask for much - some cat treats, many naps, lots of love. bunny rabbit's favorite thing is for me to pet her while she chews on her kitty grass.

No matter where i am in the apartment, she stations herself between me & her cat grass so she can "lead" me to it whenever i walk around. ted is just happy to eat & sleep! they're pretty cheap to keep since they aren't interested in expensive toys or accessories or food. so when i want to "spoil" them, there's no point in buying more toys they won't play with or fancy beds they won't sleep in. Instead, I make a donation to my favorite animal shelter/rescue group. So many kitties don't have homes or toys or specials things like my lucky girls so if I can spoil a needy cat, that's the best spoiling there is!

104. Bird Feeder

Since "little brother" (Bro for short) is an indoor kitty..he has special
places to perch and looks outside..I like to put a bird feeder outside
our window so he can look at them feeding!

105. Pamering Rain

When I saw the Top 100 tips for pampering your kitty, I knew that we would be doing most of them. Rain is an only cat as she dislikes other cats. She is the queen of the house and knows it. She has a bed in the living room, our bedroom, and a cat tree in the dining room. She also convinced my husband that the stool from my vanity needed to be under the bedroom window so she could better watch the squirrels in the backyard. I guess that means she has two beds in the bedroom and the windowsill in the kitchen.

But the two real signs of pampering for Rain is that we have water dishes for her in three of the five rooms of the apartment (none in the bathroom or bedroom) and she still thinks the best water comes out of the glass that I am holding for. When she gets thirsty, she will paw the laptop to get me to move it, sit on my lap and wait for me to hold my water glass so that she can get a drink.

The other telltale evidence that Rain is spoiled rotten is that around six p.m. each night (or sooner if I am in the kitchen cooking), she will sit in front of the refrigerator to let me know that it's time for fish. She gets about 1/2 tablespoon of tuna as a treat in the evenings and she knows it.
This spoiled kitty has been a joy in our lives for almost two years and we're hoping she stays that way for another 10 times that.
Thanks for the hints,

106. Their Own Room

The ways I spoil my cats:

1- They have their own room.( I just sleep there)
2-I spend a lot of time with them.
3- I hug my cats everyday.( a must)
4- They have the dining room. We eat in the kitchen.

Above all of these things I give them LOVE and I mean a lot of it.

107. Turkey Breast

I get Snowy fresh Boars Head Cracked Peppermill Smoked Turkey Breast, she absolutely loves it! I also get her fresh Virginia Baked Ham, gobbles it right out of your hand. She always has fresh wet food, (fancy feast is her favorite), fresh dry cat food and always fresh water. Her favorite toy is an aluminum foil ball, easy to make and she plays with it all the time. She sleeps with me every night, she lays her head on the pillow just like a person. She's very special to me.

109. Daily Massages

My 191/2 year old kitty Mandy DEMANDS several daily massages. She will wake me up in the wee hours of the morning with what I call "pat, pat, pats" with her paws. Throughout the day and evening she will tell me she wants more massages by patting me or jumping in my lap. I always oblige her, of course, even if it means lack of sleep for me. Mandy is a wonderful albeit spoiled tan and black tabby and we live in Centreville, VA.
