The holidays are a time for joy, celebration, and sometimes a little chaos. If you’re hosting guests or heading out of town, your cat’s comfort and well-being need to stay at the top of the list. At Woof & Meow, we specialize in making sure your feline friends are stress-free, whether they’re cozying up at home or staying with us for single-cat boarding. Here are our top tips to prepare your cat for the holiday season.
If You’re Hosting Guests
Create a Safe HavenHoliday gatherings can be overwhelming for cats. Set up a quiet room with your cat’s favorite bed, toys, litter box, and fresh water. This gives them a safe space to escape the noise and unfamiliar faces. Add a calming pheromone diffuser for extra comfort.
Keep Routine ConsistentCats thrive on routine. Stick to their usual feeding times and play schedule to help them feel secure amidst the holiday bustle.
Educate Your GuestsLet guests know your cat’s boundaries. Some cats love attention; others prefer to watch from afar. Ask visitors not to chase or corner your cat, and remind them to close doors to prevent accidental escapes.
If You’re Traveling
Choose Reliable Cat CareLeaving your cat in professional hands gives you peace of mind. At Woof & Meow, we offer single-cat boarding and in-home cat visits to ensure your kitty is loved, fed, and comfortable while you’re away. No other cats, no stress—just one-on-one care.
Pack Familiar ComfortsWhether it’s a boarding stay or visits at home, include their favorite blanket, toys, or treats. Familiar scents help reduce anxiety while you’re gone.
