Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that we’re in 2023, but here we are. As we say goodbye to 2022, many people are reflecting on their personal goals, and setting some objectives for the new year. Many of our feline patients are also making resolutions. Read on as a local Frisco, TX vet lists a few things you may find on your kitty’s 2023 agenda.
Nap
No surprises here. Fluffy will probably sleep through the majority of the next 12 months. Cats sleep, on average, between 12 and 14 hours a day. Make sure that your furry little buddy has plenty of beds and napping spots.
Stretch
Have you ever wondered if kitties really are more flexible than the rest of us? The answer is yes. Fluffy’s bone structure is unique: she has 53 vertebrae, which is 33 more than we have. Those discs are also well-cushioned, which allows cats to twist and turn into configurations we normally would associate with things like pretzels and sailors’ knots.
Train The Humans
When your furball meows for food, do you immediately fill her bowl, even if she just ate? Are you met with a little meow of indignation when you try to move your feline pal mid-nap? If not, Fluffy may have plans for you this year.
Catch The Red Dot
Fluffy has been chasing after that little red dot for years, only to have her mysterious prey evade her time and again. Maybe this will be the year she finally captures her nemesis! Help her out by taking time to play with her regularly.
Work On Teleportation
Have you ever thought your furball was in one spot, only to find her somewhere else? If so, you’re not alone. Our feline overlords apparently have their own set of rules when it comes to things like gravity and physics. Although we’ve long suspected that Fluffy uses teleportation to get around, no one has proved this yet.
Soak Up Some Sun
Cats love finding warm spots to relax in. This is why you will likely find your drowsy pet dozing off in a sunbeam or a load of fresh laundry. Put a comfy bed in a sunny spot for your furry friend. Instant purr!
All of us here at Coit Hedgcoxe Animal Hospital, your Frisco, TX animal hospital, want to wish you a wonderful new year. Contact us anytime!
