Every cat parent knows that cats are extremely independent and self-sufficient and that, in most cases, they aren’t even people pleasers as their canine counterparts.

But while this makes cats somewhat easier to care for, it can also be a disadvantage as your pet might develop unwanted behaviours and due to this species’ well-known (and loved) stubbornness, you might have a hard time teaching them otherwise.

Most cats love to spend time outdoors, which can make things a little challenging for their owners. As a pet parent, you might not want to restrict your cat’s freedom, yet you know that the outdoors can be dangerous.

There are cars, strange people, other animals, and other risks that you can expose your cat to if you simply allow them to roam free.

Taking walks with your dog is essential for keeping them healthy and happy. Besides their regular potty walks, dogs should engage in some longer exercise sessions on a weekly basis. Spending time outdoors is important for socialising with other animals and people and offers multiple benefits to their body, too.

Choosing the right gear to walk your dog with can make a world of difference. Not only does the lead need to be good-quality, but you also need to be able to restrain your dog’s movements, especially when they risk getting into a potentially dangerous situation.

Because they take the time to groom their bodies, cats don’t smell as much as other animals. Still, if you don’t keep up with their grooming routine or you don’t clean their litter box as often as you should, the atmosphere in your home can quickly change, and not in a good way.

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help your home smell clean and fresh even when you care for a cat (or more).
