As a busy cat parent, you may have work schedules and so much housework that you don’t have enough time to take care of your fur baby. Don’t worry! With a little time-management, you can save yourself from the guilt of not cuddling with your kitty. There are a lot of time-savings hacks for improving your pet care efficiency. We have devised some simple tips to save you time. You may even gain more time to sleep on the weekends.
Maintain a Daily Routine
A messy life will always disrupt your schedule, so developing a daily routine for your cat will save you lots of time. Help your cat become a master of time management.
Feed them regularly. Provide their food at the same time and frequency. Don’t change their eating spot or bowl arrangements. Cats are creatures of habit; and they hate change. Store the cat food so you don’t waste time looking for it. Transfer the main food (e.g., the dry food) to a large container for easier access. Use a measured portion, like, a measuring cup, to stick to the same portion for each meal. Keep the wet food, cans, and treats in one drawer.
Consider an automatic food and water dispenser to speed things up. Cats like drinking running water, and an automatic dispenser ensures your kitten access to fresh, clean food and water.
Even small changes to cat environments can distract and distress their lives. Don’t move their toilet spot unless you want to wrestle with cat poop on the floor. Invest in an automatic, self-cleaning litter box to save you lots of effort.
Cats are nocturnal. Manage their night activity to try to avoid your sleep time disruptions from your active fur baby. Before you go to sleep, provide them with more toys to play with to drain their energy. Hide their toys while you sleep. Some cats like sleeping in different places, so provide several comfortable cat beds for them to encourage their sleeping instincts. Exhaust them by creating an exercise routine. Invest in a running wheel that allows them to entertain themselves and develop a healthy body. Train them using treat rewards.
In short, manage your time, location, and tools. Don’t make changes and stick to a routine. Doing all these things can save you precious time.
