New Year, New Goals for Your Cat
Make 2022 a special year not just for yourself, but for your cat too. Instead of the usual big, forgotten resolutions, let’s set some light-hearted and achievable goals that make life more fun—for both of you.
Here are 8 fun and totally doable New Year’s resolutions for your feline friend:
1. Embrace More Self-Care
Self-care isn’t just for humans—cats are natural pros at it. Whether they’re grooming themselves, basking in the sun, running wild through the house, or napping in the coziest spot possible, they’re prioritizing their well-being.
Want to support your cat’s self-care routine? Start by switching to Meow Cat Litter—a clean, odor-controlling litter that gives your cat the comfort and hygiene they deserve.
2. Learn a New Trick
2022 might be the year your cat becomes a star. The internet loves cats—and they barely have to try. But imagine the likes and love if your cat comes when called or does a little spin on command. Fame is just one trick away.
3. More Play, Less Mayhem
If your cat has sacrificed your furniture in the name of fun, it’s time to redirect that energy. Invest in some new toys and enrich their environment—your cat stays entertained, and your sofa survives. Everyone wins.
4. Try New Foods
We treat ourselves to new dishes—so why not offer your cat some variety, too? While many human foods aren’t safe for cats, some are not only harmless but also healthy. In moderation and with no added seasoning, your cat can enjoy:
-
Cooked chicken
-
Fresh, lean raw meat
-
Tuna in water (not oil)
-
Cooked salmon
-
Banana
-
Apple (peeled and diced)
-
Watermelon (seedless)
-
Scrambled egg (fully cooked, no seasoning)
Always check with your vet before introducing new foods.
5. Take More Photos
Cat parents who flood their feeds with adorable cat pics? Legend has it they’re 17% happier. (Okay, we made that up.)
Still, you’ll love having fun photo memories. Try matching outfits, silly hats, or capturing your cat’s reactions to puzzles. It’s pure joy—and totally Instagram-worthy.
6. Go On Little Adventures
Taking a cat outside isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. Start small. Let them explore a new room, or introduce them to a secure harness. With time and patience, you might just have a walking buddy.
7. Get Active Together
If you’re working out at home, let your cat join in. They might balance on your back during push-ups or chase your feet during cardio. You get a workout—they get playtime. Win-win.
8. Upgrade to Meow Cat Litter
If you’re still using low-quality litter, 2022 is the perfect time to switch. Cats are extremely sensitive to smell and cleanliness. Meow Cat Litter is anti-bacterial, dust-free, and made with natural zeolite, a volcanic mineral that traps moisture and odor like a sponge.
