Top 10 jobs you can do when you have a cat

Having a cat is hard work! When you come home from work, a second life awaits you; that of being at the service of our beloved whiskered friend. Our cats are very demanding bosses, much more than our human bosses. And beware of the slightest mistake! At Ziggy, we had fun compiling the 10 jobs we perform when we have a cat at home. To be honest, we could have gone well beyond 10. Feel free to add to this list in the comments 😺 1/ Butler When you have a cat, you are at His Majesty's service 24/7. And taking any time off is impossible. Mr. Cat needs his meal served at any hour (hello 4 a.m. wake-ups!), his litter box cleaned regularly, and plenty of cozy spots for long naps. 2/ Doorman We also spend our days opening the door for him. He wants to go out, come in, then go out again and come back in. Without even tipping us… Sometimes he even meows at the door and just stares at us. If only His Majesty the cat could make up his mind… 3/ Cook Almost. You have to prepare his bowl with his favorite pâté and kibbles. And often at fixed times! Luckily Ziggy is here. If we had to cook as well, that would be the last straw! 4/ Cleaning agent When you have a cat, you also spend your days or evenings cleaning up after him: the bits of litter he kindly scattered all over the house, the hair he left on the couch (or on our clothes), or the little vomit he left on the carpet… Psst: if you’re tired of playing Hansel and Gretel with your vacuum cleaner, try our Ziggy litter! Natural, compostable, and biodegradable, our litter is low-dust, soft on paws, and non-sticky. 😽 5/ Pedicurist Yes, those claws need to be trimmed. And who has to do it? Us! The worst part: we often get a few scratches on the forearm. 6/ Hairdresser Another job we do when we have a cat: hairdresser! Our whiskered friends need a little brushing to have a beautiful coat, but also to avoid hairballs forming in their stomachs, which can pose a risk of intestinal blockage if too large. But this grooming service is not without risks, especially if you brush the dangerous zone: the belly 🙀 7/ Masseur His Majesty loves strokes but is very demanding: “A little here, a little there... I also want belly rubs but only for 2 minutes or I’ll scratch you.” 8/ Press officer Our second job is also that of press officer: we take photos of our whiskered friend and show him off on all social networks. My cat, the star! 9/ Treasure hunter Yes, like Indiana Jones! We look for his toys under the sofa, under the bed, or under the furniture. We find kibble in his closet, in his slippers, bits of cardboard behind the curtains, etc. And sometimes, the treasure is our cat himself! He hides in impossible places! 10/ Bodyguard Our whiskered friends are our babies and we protect them. We make sure they have nothing wrong and lack nothing, and above all, beware of anyone who speaks badly about them! Our cats demand a lot of work from us, but they reward us well (when they want). 💛
