September is Happy Cat Month — the perfect time to celebrate our feline friends and learn a little more about what really makes them tick. Cats are mysterious creatures, but some of the “facts” we’ve always heard about them? Not so true. Let’s set the record straight on three common myths.
Many people think cats can entertain themselves, but play is essential for mental stimulation and physical health. Without it, boredom and stress can creep in.
👉 Interactive toys, puzzles, and frozen treat challenges (like FreezPaw enrichments) keep cats sharp and happy.
Indoor cats may be safe, but that doesn’t mean they don’t crave activity. Without stimulation, they can develop stress behaviors like overgrooming or scratching furniture.
👉 Window perches, climbing spaces, and enrichment toys add variety to their daily life.
It’s true that cats often drink less than dogs, but that doesn’t mean hydration isn’t vital. Dehydration can lead to kidney and urinary problems.
👉 Frozen, hydrating treats in refillable toys can boost both fun and fluid intake.
Happy cats aren’t just loved — they’re engaged, stimulated, and cared for. This Happy Cat Month, let’s trade the myths for facts and give our cats the happiness they deserve.
