Serve Gourmet Foods

Your cat probably gets whatever is on sale, if most cat owners are to be believed. Cat food can be expensive; so many owners do what they can to save a little money here and there by purchasing foods that are on sale during the week. Your cat might eat a different type of food each week. That’s fine as it’s not going to do much harm to the cat. However, you might want to invest in some really good food for the cat every so often to make him feel spoiled.

Do this daily for your cat and you will find yourself amazed at just how easy it is to spoil your feline friend.

Clean the Cat Dishes

Cats love a clean dish, so go ahead and clean those every day. It’s a small and very simple way to spoil your cat that doesn’t cost anything and doesn’t take too much time. I mean, we clean our own dishes every single day, so why don’t we have the same common courtesy for the animals that live in our homes? We wouldn’t eat off a plate that hasn’t been cleaned in weeks, would we? If you say anything but no, you probably shouldn’t even have a cat.

Don’t Bring Any Other Animals Around

Many cats are very friendly and will adapt to new animals, but most cats would prefer you just keep those other animals away from them and to yourself. For example, a cat that has been alone in the house for many years is going to be very unappreciative when a new animal is introduced in your home. Even if that animal is one that’s just visiting, your cat does not know this and will not feel spoiled at all.

In this case, why not go ahead and make sure your cat has a home of its own with which he can do as he pleases? A cat house or tower is going to make for one happy cat, and it is really going to make your cat feel spoiled rotten.

Buy me a Plate

Your cat does not like to eat from a bowl. I know; then why do people make bowls and sell them for cats in every pet store in the world? The honest truth is that there is a profit to be had, so these people just do not care. However, your cat has very sensitive whiskers and would be much happier eating from a plate. He or she will not complain about a bowl, to be honest, but your cat will be so much happier with a plate you’ll feel as if you just bought him diamonds.

Keep the Doors Open

Cats love to explore, and that means every room in your house. Felines are not a fan of closed doors, which is why we love the idea of keeping doors open for your cat friends. This is an especially wonderful idea if you have an enclosed patio or porch where your cat can go sit down and enjoy the beautiful weather from the comforts of your own home. Leave that door open as often as possible and you will be spoiling your cat immensely.
