A cat is the perfect pet for busy people

People lead busy lives, but it’s still nice to have a companion to love and care for. Not many pets fit in with modern urban living for young singletons, but that’s not to say there isn’t a little furry friend who can fend for itself without the need for constant care and attention.

For anyone who spends a limited amount of time at home then a cat is a great choice of pet. They can be incredibly loving and tactile when they want to be, but they are also very independent. People can leave them all day and they’ll just come and go as they please. They don’t need to be exercised and they aren’t needy in the way that dogs are. They’re an ideal low maintenance option.

At the end of a busy day at work it’s so nice to come home to a lovely welcome from a little friend. Feline companions just have a few basic requirements. They need the right diet, but most will settle into an easy routine very quickly. They need a bed and it helps to fit a cat flap too so they can come and go as they want. They are deadly hunters, so fitting them with a collar and bell will help to lower their success rate. They’ll need some jabs to begin with and then a regular check up at the vet every so often to make sure they’re happy and healthy.

Any pet owner values help and advice when it comes to choosing food, accessories and toys. That’s why shopping at a dedicated pet store makes such a difference. Staff are on hand to answer any questions and recommend different foodstuffs and products. It makes a big difference, especially for new owners who’ve never had a pet to care for before.
