A 'gentle older lady' named Gertrude with a few special needs is looking for a loving home in Utah. Gertrude is a tri-colored tabby cat and is said to be a 'wonderful, loving companion.'
All cat owners can give their cat a"life-changing" gift of exercise, notes the Best Friends Animal Society.
While it is common knowledge that dogs need to be walked on a daily basis, cats, too, need to have physical and mental exercise, explained the shelter. Samantha Bell,"resident cat expert" at the Best Friends Animal Society, told Fox News Digital three ways cat owners can exercise their furry friends. One way to ensure a cat gets moving, said Bell, is to get another cat.
"Having two cats automatically increases exercise since they'll inevitably chase each other and play together," she also said. Putting a toy or treat on top of something that needs to be climbed can encourage climbing and exploring"vertical territory," Bell explained. Cat owners can also introduce a leash and harness system to their pets and take them for walks. The leash will"give them the opportunity to safely explore new places," said Bell.
It is imperative, however, that a cat owner consult with a veterinarian before putting a cat on an exercise plan, Bell continued."Just remember, [the amount of] physical and mental enrichment needed depends on your kitty’s age and medical conditions," she added.Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
