Relax With Your Cat | Give Him A Massage.

It's a good idea to spend time relaxing with your cats because it calms them, and most cat owners know that those beautiful purring sounds and that soft, warm fur is pretty calming for you too. Let's bust some stress for you and your kitties with some of these relaxation techniques—there are health benefits in it for both of you!

If your cat loves having his face stroked, try a full blown cat massage! Just like in humans, massage has many benefits for cats, including stimulation of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems. Many cats will even deepen their emotional connection with their owners when they experience massage in gentle, mindful ways. You'll want your cat to feel safe and comfortable when you massage him, so start slow, use gentle touch and begin with "safe zones" like the back. Watch his body language, and you'll discover what he likes and doesn’t like. All cats are different! If your cat doesn't appreciate massage at first, try gentle and methodical brushing with a brush made for cats. On a daily basis, brushing your cat will also act as a calming and relaxing activity for your feline friend.
