Pampering your cat doesn’t have to be expensive. Use these three simple tricks to make your baby happy on a budget – because a cat’s happiness is truly priceless.

1) The Licky Mat

Our first trick is aptly named the licky mat. Simply spread a delicious meal onto a flat mat with a teaspoon for your furr baby. Your cat will love eating from a flat surface, and the cleaning process will be quick and easy.

2) What's in the Box!?

Fill a tissue box (or any other sized box) with some tasty treats, toys, and old newspaper. Sit back and relax as your cat happily ruffles through some of his/her favourite things in this world (besides you, of course).

3) An Eggcellent Bowl

Check your bathroom and grab a spare toilet roll. It’s scientific fact these are cardboard magnets for cats. Firstly, you’ll need to cut the rolls in half. Now, how’s your egg supply? Gather the empty carton and place the rolls inside the grooves. Next, pour some tasty treats inside and it becomes an awesome snacking playground.

These simple tricks will make a huge difference to your cat’s mood for minimal effort and cost, keeping them effortlessly entertained and stimulating their adorable minds.
