 Although not all cats will come running to greet you as you walk through the door, your cat will show excitement and anticipation in their own way. Your cat might also show signs of excitement when they're exploring outside, hunting, or playing with their toys. Similar to humans, you can keep your cat happy by ensuring that their basic needs are met, ensuring they have the opportunity to engage with humans and do different fun things like toys and activities on their own terms. A healthy cat is a happy cat, so it's important to cater to their emotional needs as well as help them keep physically fit and healthy.
