Hello everybody. This is my first post on the forum and I apologise if this has already been covered elsewhere. I inherited a cat a few months ago, he was my sisters, and she has gone to work abroad. Although Im not sure how old he is he has no health problems, sees the vet regularly for check ups and is generally very well taken care of (i hope!).
My wife and I both love him extremely much. Hes my first ever pet (i'm 30) and until I got him I didn't realise it was possible to really adore an animal like this. But I'm far from being an expert on animal and my question is what should i be doing to keep him happy on a daily basis? I spend a lot of time with him and keep him company but do cat's like to be petted or stroked in a certain way, or do they even prefer to be alone a lot? Should I be buying him toys to play with? He also seems to quite like sleeping, I dont know if that means hes getting older or if thats normal for cats.
