I have never personally owned a cat, but i loved watching my friends cats when it was needed or my neighbors cats! I feel as though me and cats have a special bond, because you can’t force a cat to love you which is why i am patient and accepting of the animal rather than trying to be obsessive and upsetting the cat. With that being said when i was cat sitting, i would typically try to make them stay active by playing with them or taking them on walks. I also had to give the cats medicine by putting an ointment in their ear or smashing it up in their food.
