Happy Cat Month: How to Keep Your Cat Happy

September is Happy Cat Month, and it’s the perfect time to think about your cat’s happiness and well-being. At The Wagging Club in Tampa, Florida, we’re committed to providing top-quality care for your feline family members. From luxurious private cat condos,  music to our engaging cat playroom, we offer a range of services designed to keep your cat happy, healthy, and entertained.

The Basics of Cat Happiness

Cats are complex animals, and their happiness depends on more than just a full food bowl and clean water. To keep your cat truly content, you need to consider their physical, mental, and emotional needs.

  • Physical comfort: A clean, quiet space, a soft bed, and easy access to fresh water are essential for your cat’s comfort.
  • Mental stimulation: Cats thrive when they’re engaged. Toys, scratching posts, and perches near windows for birdwatching are great ways to keep their minds sharp.
  • Emotional security: Cats love routine. Keeping their environment consistent and avoiding sudden changes can help reduce anxiety.

Enrichment Activities at The Wagging Club

At The Wagging Club, we believe that a happy cat is one that’s mentally and physically enriched. Our luxury Boarding Services include a dedicated cat playroom where your feline can climb, explore, and enjoy activities that match their natural instincts.

  • Cat playroom: This safe space allows your cat to stretch, play, and explore in a stress-free environment. We offer a variety of toys and activities tailored to fit your cat’s personality.
  • Private suites: For cats who prefer a quiet environment, our private suites offer the ultimate in comfort. Each suite comes equipped with super-soft bedding, calming music, and pheromones to create a peaceful atmosphere where your cat can relax. All litterboxes are changed twice daily to ensure your cat’s suite is cozy and clean.

Our goal is to provide an environment that meets your cat’s individual needs, ensuring they stay engaged and content during their time with us.

Not all cats have the same needs, and that’s why we offer special care for older, anxious, or shy cats. Our one-on-one enrichment sessions are designed to provide personalized attention to cats who might need a little extra TLC.

  • Older cats: Senior cats often need extra attention, whether through gentle play or a quiet space to relax. We ensure that older cats are comfortable and have access to everything they need, from cozy beds to low-impact activities.
  • Anxious or shy cats: For cats that are more timid, we offer a calm and supportive environment. Our staff is trained to work with cats of all temperaments, providing a relaxed atmosphere that helps reduce stress.

If your cat has special needs, we offer personalized “add-on” Boarding Services to make sure they’re well cared for during their stay.
