If you want to make your cat happy at home, it isn’t just about tossing them a crinkly toy and hoping for the best—it’s a full-time gig wrapped in fur, purrs, and the occasional passive-aggressive stare. While the internet might have you believe cats are aloof little weirdos who’d rather nap than engage, the experts know better: these creatures are complex, social, and easily bored. The price of neglect is usually paid in shredded furniture or a mysteriously soiled rug.
Whether you live in an apartment in Scottsdale or a house in Orlando, making your cat feel safe, stimulated, and loved takes a little effort and a lot of understanding. The good news? Experts have plenty of tips to help you get it right.
Here are 21 tips to make your cat happy at home from the professionals who understand the species better than most.

My outdoor cat Charlie didn’t come home last week. If only I know a cat behaviorist who could help me find my cat! If only I hadn’t spent five days exploring the black hole of sheer terror and despair! If only there was a web application that finds lost cats and tells you exactly what to do!
The Cat Connection: a Feline Candy Store
A quick Google search of “Cats in Dallas” brings up The Cat Connection, the biggest cat supply shop in Texas. I had to check this out!
The Cat Connection looks like an old-time candy store, with enormous mason jars lining the shelves stuffed with brightly colored cat toys. Wand teasers, catnip-marinated mice, collars and harnesses of all shapes, colors, and sizes, and collar bling are artfully arranged to make you want to buy everything in sight. It’s a miracle I didn’t come home with the whole store.
