Dedication

For Felix and Flavia, with love and gratitude.

Cats and humans have been getting along for ages. From Ancient Egypt to your very own living room, its a relationship thats stood the test of time. But sometimes you need a little me(ow) time of your own.

By definition you are amazing, unique, and worthy of the best, whether its deli turkey or the finest sunbeam warming your back.

You were born knowing this, of course. Everyone is. But sometimes life gets to you. Maybe your companion spends more time watching TV than anticipating your needs. Maybe you have somewhere to be, but all you want to do is nap. Maybe dinner is four minutes late.

Thats why self-care is so important. You deserve to put yourself first and anticipate your own needs; youll be happier, healthier, and better able to focus on the things that matter the most to you. So if you want to indulge, go for it! Want to savor the simple things in life instead? Do it; you decide what self-care works for you! Craving company? Find a friend who likes the same things you do. Looking forward to some alone time? Theres no shame in hiding out in your favorite spot. Anything goes, as long as youre spending some time taking care of you . So lets talk Self-Care for Cats (And Their Humans) .

Stretch! It feels great and keeps you in shape.

Find a place you can call your own.

Reaffirm that you are a creature like no other.

Take a minute to find some peace. Its within you, wherever you are.

Live in the moment. When inspiration strikes, do what it tells you!

Protect your alone time. With claws if necessary.

Practice meditation.

Play! Try to see the world with childlike wonder.

Appreciate your body!

Get active.

Understand the Law of Attraction.

Let go of anger.

Appreciate the simple things in life.

Do something that scares you. Go on, do it!

Feel your feelings! Sometimes its okay to be upset.

Dont take no for an answer.

Respect yourself. Walk away from those who dont treat you well.

Enjoy a bath.

Make your bed. Set a good tone for the day.

Embrace physical contact. Nothing is more peaceful than snuggling with someone you love.

Dont dwell on your mistakes. Youll get it right next time!

Cancel plans! Sometimes staying home is the best thing you can do.

Write a letter to a friend. Knowing how much theyll enjoy a personal note will fill you with good feelings.
