- Get your dog little boots to keep his or her paws warm on those chilly winter nights.
- Sing your pet a little lullaby. If they aren't howling or complaining, sing till your heart's content!
- Brush your pet often, especially if they shed. Many pets love the attention and it prevents hairballs in cats and keeps dogs comfortable and looking debonair.
- Give them plenty of treats but be careful in feeding human food to your pets. Foods like chocolate and onions can be poisonous and many plants are toxic to cats.
- Give them their own warm cozy chair or blanket or they'll just take over yours anyway.
- Give your cat Catsip milk (it's easier on their digestive system than cow milk)
- Take your dog with you through the drive thru. They love the attention from the employees and you might find a place that will actually give your dog a little something.
- Give your kitty a box to play in or just don't kick them out when they try to jump in any open box lying around the house.
- Play with them lots. There's no better toy for your furry friend than you.
- Get your cat or dog a pet drinking fountain. They'll love the fresh running water.
- Put a window bench near the window or sometimes leave the curtains open on a low window so Fido or Fluffy can stare out the window and hear how cute they are from your neighbors.
- Give them little pet massages until their heart is content.
- Dampen and squeeze a wash cloth with warm water and wipe their head and ears with it to comfort them, especially when you're doing something they're not particularly fond of like maybe bathing.
- Regular vet care and dental care.
- Give your kitty a little bit of Tuna. They'll go crazy begging when they smell it
- Take your dog to Mounds or another pet store that will let you bring your dog in. Let them sniff out all the toys and have fun wandering around like a kid in a candy store.
- Put birdfeeders near the windows to amuse cats.
- Take your dog to the doggie park or go on lots of walks outside.
- Let your kitty out into a screened in porch or sunroom if you have one or a room with lots of windows. They love exploring and enjoying all the sunlight. It's great for the indoor cat.
- Tell them everyday you love them. I really think they understand.
