Tips To Keep Cats Moving

Look, I won't lie. My cats can be lazy.

They sleep. They eat. They rest. They sleep some more. They eat. They sleep. Are you noticing a pattern here?

We have two cats, Max, who is 11, and Ruby, who is 2, and they go through lots of food and litter. It's why I'm so glad Petsmart is having a deal:

Sometimes I worry my cats aren't moving enough. Their health is important, so I always like to come up with ways to keep them moving. Here's what I do to get them on their paws.

1. Play with them! I mean, duh, a no brainer, but sometimes people forget that cats can play too! They are rather stubborn, but many enjoy a string being dragged along.




2. Teach them tricks.

My cats know they must sit before they get food and treats. Granted, Max sometimes takes a few beats extra, but he's 11, so it's allowed. He always eventually sits.


3. Offer them treats. Shaking the bag gets my cats up fairly quickly.  They're all, yay, food!


4. Take the on walks. You can put a cat on a harness. Sometimes they'll move. Sometimes they won't.



5. Give them delicious food.



We get a lot of our treats and food from Petsmart:

It's a wonderful store filled with so many products to keep our cats happy. I like picking them up Purina products, which you can find in the cat section of the store. There are so many different varieties and you can decide which one works best for your kitties:

I personally go for the Purina ONE food:

I also get Purina® TIDY CATS® Litter plus their beloved Purina® Friskies® Party Mix:

For the month of June, if you spend $40 on Purina products, you'll receive a $10 Petsmart Gift Card. All you do is register with your contact information and upload your receipt here. Then you'll receive confirmation and a physical $10 Petsmart gift card will be sent 4-8 weeks later. You can upload your receipt until 7/9/17.



And yes, you can get multiple gift cards for every $40 purchase!

I'm thrilled, because my cats do like their Purina products, and we go through a lot of it.

And then after they eat, we play, even if Ruby gives me a look like this:

How do you keep your pets moving? 

(And Ruby says don't forget, buy $40 worth of Purina products and get a $10 gift card to Petsmart! Meow!)
