Why you should massage your cats
Post Body

Here is a WikiHow article on how to give your cat a massage!

The benefits of massaging your cat:

  • It increases the bond they have with you

  • It helps them relax after a long day of important zoomies

  • It can have health benefits such as increased bloodflow and less pain

  • It gets them used to touching uncomfortable parts of their body (such as paws, belly) in a relaxed manner, and will make nail clippings or vet visits a lot easier.

  • Your cat just might become even cuddlier than before

Don't massage your cat if:

  • They have an open wound or infection

  • They are prone to blood clotting

  • They are not in the mood and tell you to back off

  • They have just had a big meal

In short, give your vet a call before you start doing this. But if you do, it can give you so much in return! Don't massage them too deeply either! It's basically pets, but in a circular motion.

I started massaging my cat two weeks ago, and our bond has been stronger than ever. She stopped biting me completely, she comes to cuddle whenever I'm in bed, she purrs her heart out during the massage. All around awesome.
