1.     Banish boredom - rotate toys every few weeks to keep your cat's interest.

2.    Let sleeping cats sleep - yes they are huggable when they are asleep, but they do need 16 hours of sleep a day.

3.     Give them privacy - put the litter box in a quiet area of your home.

4.     Do Not Declaw - it only solves the symptom.  Buy a scratching post or kitty condo, and also look into Soft Paws, an artificial nail cap that is glued onto the cats nails.

5.      Serenade your sweetie - cats know when they're being sung to and often meow.

6.      Whisper words of love - cats don’t like harsh noises, but they do love the sound of soft whispers.

7.      Take a cheap nip - buy fresh catnip and stuff it into an old sock.

8.      Clean the potty often - cats hate dirty litter boxes.

9.      Turn on the television - check out videos for cats or just tune in on a nature channel.

10.  Phone home - if you are gone all day or longer, call your answering machine and talk to your cat. They will enjoy hearing your voice.

11.  Go interactive - get toys that involve both you and your pet.

12.  Curl up with kitty - catnaps for two are twice a nice.

13.  Show she'll always be your baby - lavish your pet with attention.

14.  Spay or neuter your pet - not only for birth control, but altered cats are much happier and healthier now that they don't have to be looking for a partner to mate with.  Instead, they'll be looking for you to snuggle with.

15.Give your kitty a massage - who wouldn't like a head, back, neck or leg massage.  Be gentle, and in no time your kitty will be begging for more.
