Have you ever looked at your feline friend, perhaps after a generous serving of cat food or a playful session with their favorite toy, and wondered, "Does it still want a hug?" Let's dive into the mysteries of our feline companions and the art of their affection.

When Toys and Treats Are Not Enough

It's not uncommon for cats to exhibit behaviors that seem to beg for a little more attention. Sometimes, a belly rub or a treat isn't quite enough. Cats, like us, are emotional beings, and they have unique ways of showing their affection or need for comfort.

The Case of Litterbox Sensitivity

Is it due to diarrhea causing intestinal sensitivity, or is it the cat food that's giving them trouble, making it hard for their intestines to absorb and metabolize? If there's no sign of coronavirus or parasites, it might be time to consider a change to a prescription diet for intestines and to complement with medication to repair the intestines.

Comfort in the Midst of Heat

When cats are in heat, they often cry out loudly, especially at night or during the day. In such times, owners can offer their favorite treats or toys to distract them and use the opportunity to spend quality time together.

The Power of a Hug

Does your cat also ask for a hug? One cat owner shared, "I've done my homework before getting a cat, buying everything from imported canned food to toys. I wanted a pet for emotional comfort, to be a companion at least when I feel down. But nope, it's not that type of cat."

Why Does My Cat Want to Hug Me?

Is it because the weather is cold and your cat wants to warm up on you, only to leave after it's warm? Cats, with their shedding, can be quite the handful to cuddle with. But that doesn't stop us from offering our affection.

The Cat's Menu

Cats are quite the connoisseurs when it comes to food. They love not just cat food but also meat, fish, and even green vegetables. After waking up, a small treat, a gentle pat, and a toy like a laser pointer to play with can make their day.

From Ear Mites to Play Dates

One pet owner recounted the trials of dealing with their kitten's ear mites, a long and arduous process. After the initial treatment, the kitten wouldn't resist the medication, but as it grew, the owner found themselves in a more challenging situation with a cat that would react fiercely to any attempts at affection.

Whiskers and Moonlight

Another owner shared that their cats would often cry out, especially at night. They suspected it might be the moon's pull, but regardless, they found comfort in hugging their cats, even if just for a moment.
