Source Image: illustration generated using Microsoft Designer Is your cat happy? Every cat has different tastes and needs when it comes to their well-being, and many still are a mystery for most people. For cats, a good and comfortable environment is not optional; it is essential . Many diseases and unwanted behavior in felines occur because of an inadequate environment …and this inappropriate behavior is a main cause of pet abandonment and euthanasia.   A comfortable home is fundamental for physical health, emotional well-being, and good behavior .
