Keep those meow moments coming with tasty treats

-

Cats are independen­t and full of personalit­y, that’s why we love them.

But we can’t deny that we have to try a little harder to get them to love us back.

So, when your feline friend is being extra affectiona­te, you might want to reward it, and one special treat from the new Whiskas care and treat range is Crunchy Trio.

Look out for magic meow moments and give your kitty a treat when it happens.

The slow blink

When your cat stares into your eyes and gives you that long, slow blink, they’re actually saying, “I love you.”

Let them know you love them back with a little nibble.

Kneading your knees

Have you noticed your cat kneading your legs as they’re lying on your lap? Cats learnt to do this when they were kittens and feeding from their moms.

So, if your cat is kneading you, it’s showing it appreciate­s the care you give it – and that’s worthy of a tasty treat.

Sparing the couch

Cats have minds of their own so it’s important to treat them when they make more thoughtful decisions. For example, if your precious kitten chooses to use a scratching post instead of ripping up your couch, give them a treat to reinforce

this behaviour.

The mark

When your cat rubs its head on your legs, it’s marking you with its scent, basically saying: “Hey, this is my human”, and that kind of loyalty should definitely be rewarded.

Good li er box conduct

Cats aren’t as easy to train as their canine counterpar­ts, but positive reinforcem­ent can help encourage good behaviour.

If your cat uses its litter box without flinging debris all over the floor, let it know its doing a good job with a treat.

Pick up some Crunchy Trio treats, available in poultry and seafood flavours from the new Whiskas care and treat range and keep the meow moments coming. – Citizen reporter
