Check out all our tips for sharing a life full of purrs with your little whiskered friend: nutrition, well-being, advice on adopting a kitten, and top cats.
Christmas is approaching, and this year, no question of forgetting our cat under the tree! For those who appreciate recycling and DIY beginners, here are 5 DIY ideas to please your furry friend.
1. A cat tree
We know our cats’ strong taste for boxes and confined spaces in general. Wine crates will therefore be perfect for this DIY project that combines usefulness and recycling.
What you need:
Two wine crates
Three boards: one large for the base, and two small ones for the sides
A spool of sisal rope
A cushion to place in the top crate
A piece of carpet (optional), to place on the base
A drill-driver to fix everything together
2. A fishing rod
For those of you who are less handy, here’s the solution: a fishing rod! An ultra-easy toy to make that will let you play with your cat while awakening its hunter instinct.
What you need:
A rod (any material, as long as it’s not sharp)
A string, which will be securely attached to the rod
A cork, ribbons, pompoms, feathers, little pouches of catnip... Feel free to let your imagination run wild
3. A scratching post
Very easy to make as well, just fix two boards together, and wrap sisal rope around the larger one.
A short board
A larger board
Sisal rope
A drill-driver to fix the two boards together.
4. A super Ziggy house
Our Ziggy cardboard boxes turn into little houses. Don’t hesitate to jazz it up a bit to make your cat’s house the most beautiful one. We especially love this one created by a member of the Ziggy Family.
5. A tipi
If your cat enjoys tranquility and likes having its own hiding spots, this tipi will certainly make it very happy!
What you need:
5 wooden rods, to be securely fixed together
A canvas or cotton cover
Rope, to tie the rods
A safety pin, to fix the cover.

Ready, set, DIY!
Normally, we’re more about cat food, fair enough. But this time, we thought their slaves (yes, you) deserved a little treat too. We’re sticking with the Halloween theme with this recipe for black cat cookies, tested and approved by the ENTIRE Ziggy team.
For about 20 cats (not scary at all), you will need:
250g flour
40g cocoa powder
1 egg
150g soft butter
130g sugar
70g brown sugar
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
And for a proper icing:
1/2 egg white
80g powdered sugar
Food coloring (optional)
Equipment:
An electric mixer
A cat-shaped cookie cutter
The magic recipe:
For 20 cookies, mix the soft butter with the sugars and vanilla extract, add the egg, then incorporate the flour, cocoa, and salt.
Form a smooth ball and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 5mm thickness and cut out your cats using the cookie cutter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the cookies for 15 minutes.
For the royal icing, whisk the egg white with the sifted powdered sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is white and frothy.
Using a parchment paper cone or a piping bag, draw the nose, whiskers, and eyes of your little cats. Feel free to get creative!
Enjoy your treat and Happy C’Halloween!
Christmas is just around the corner! As the family’s favorite child (no exaggeration here), your little cat will also have a gift under the tree. And even if they haven’t been perfectly well-behaved all year, they still deserve to be spoiled.
Some are timeless classics, others are more original — here are 15 gift ideas your cat is sure to love.

In this chilly weather, we’re grateful for this clever invention! Your cat's favorite spot is sorted — we wouldn't mind having the same one.

#12 A cat-sized sofa
Perfect for long movie nights or reading sessions with their favorite humans.

Catnip has a natural euphoric effect on cats, thanks to the nepetalactone it contains — great for fun, excitement, and relaxation all at once!
#14 A cat massager
Yes, you heard that right! You can now get your cat their very own massage device.
#15 The Ziggy dry & wet food box
We saved the best for last: the Ziggy gift box with 1kg of kibble, 4 chicken wet meals, and 4 salmon wet meals.
Place it under the tree or by the fire for a cozy, purring Christmas.
But by the way, what does my cat eat?
More and more of you are concerned about your pet's diet.
Unfortunately, this awareness often comes as a result of a health problem or, in the saddest cases, the premature death of your previous cat.
For others, this desire to better feed your kitty is probably the reflection of a personal trend towards healthier consumption and the intention to feed them as well as the rest of the family.
Whatever the reason for this choice, it's probably the best decision you can make to give our cats the beautiful, happy life they deserve.
Because while we have suffered from poor diets for decades now, unfortunately our cats are far from spared! Diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, urinary and kidney problems... none of these diseases should occur with quality food.
Like our own diet, the diet of our cats has evolved over the last ten years, becoming increasingly processed, more convenient, and more economical.
To the point where we sometimes hear (often): « You should get a cat, it doesn't cost much to feed and you can leave for the weekend without worrying about it! ».
Unfortunately, and obviously, that's not true.
A cat is a living being, an extra mouth to feed, and a strict carnivore. And as we know, meat, when it's of good quality, is one of the most expensive foodstuffs.
So, when we buy a bag of kibble for 3€ per kilogram, there's probably more wheat, corn, and sugar than meat in it.
But if we save a few years on food expenses, the veterinary costs of just one of these diseases could quickly make us regret our choice.
Today, many brands claim to sell the best food for our cats.
While some of these claims are sincere, we realize that for many of them, they are just marketing arguments, often misleading and with no real benefit.
And while more and more consumers are informed, enlightened, and no longer fooled, we wanted to help you in this approach, so you don't get trapped by the first well-polished slogan.
#1 - 100% Natural Doesn’t Mean 100% Healthy
"Natural" is probably the term we hear the most these days!
It's normal, natural reassures us.
A few photos of plants and a "wild jungle" design, and we feel like we're feeding our cat like a predator from the desert!
The difference is that kibble doesn't grow on trees and doesn't run very fast.
We're the first to be reassured by what is natural. Cosmetics, food, decor... natural is everywhere! In fact, a Mediaprism-60 million consumers study shows that "the demand for natural food has become essential for 83% of consumers." But have you ever wondered what a natural diet really means for our cats? We'll let you think about that...
To answer this question, we referred to the "Code of Good Practices of Fediaf" and here's the definition of a natural food:
"The term 'natural' should only be used to describe the components of pet food (from plants, animals, microorganisms, or minerals) free of additives and that have not undergone any physical treatment other than those that make them compatible with pet food production while maintaining their natural composition. Among these treatments, dehydration, smoking, pelletizing, certain enzymatic processes, grinding, and extrusion are accepted."
Since we don't consider the addition of nutritional or technological additives when using the term "natural," and since manufacturers no longer use or list GMOs (unless their presence is mandatory), we can say that pretty much EVERYTHING is natural...!
That said, while we enjoy using natural creams on our faces or natural deodorant under our arms, does eating "natural" make us healthy?
Apparently, if we take these three foods: fries, pizza, cheeseburger – all three are natural (and let's face it, pretty tasty)!
But consumed daily, they're far from healthy (sorry to burst your bubble, guys, but potatoes are still not a vegetable).
So when we look at a kibble or a pâté that's made up of 40% carbohydrates (sweet potato, corn, pea flour, beet pulp, sugar, or soy) – we can call that "100% natural," but for our cats, it's actually unnatural!
For all these reasons, at Ziggy, we've removed the word "natural" from our packaging. It's tempting, and we often use it by reflex, but it doesn't add anything except false reassurance.
We prefer to prove to you, through scientific analysis and arguments that our pâtés are healthy. And in the end, what's the point of lying? Sooner or later, the benefits or harm will be clear in your cat!
#2 - Grain-Free Doesn’t Mean Carbohydrate-Free
In recent years, we've seen more and more kibble and pâté for dogs and cats bearing the "grain-free" or "grain-free" label, and it has become a major selling point for many of us.
After all, what could be more natural?
Our domestic carnivores are not chickens, so we don’t want to feed them wheat, corn, or oats... they might start clucking!
But... a kibble is essentially a little cookie? And without flour, it's difficult to make a cake (personally, we've never succeeded)!
It is indeed impossible to make kibble without "starch." Starch is a "carbohydrate stored by plants in the form of granules, which, when ground, provide a paste." The paste? That's the glue that allows your cookie or kibble to hold its shape.
So, if there are no cereals in the kibble, we still need starch.
In grain-free foods, we often find sweet potato, potatoes, pea flour, chickpea flour, lentils, tapioca (cassava), and sometimes even quinoa, yes, quinoa.
While grain-free diets are a source of reassurance for many of us, it’s still important to analyze and calculate the carbohydrate content of your cat’s kibble or pâté.
It’s very likely that a grain-free food containing 30% to 50% carbohydrates is just as harmful, if not more harmful, than a food containing a little rice or wheat.
At Ziggy, we chose to keep things simple and healthy, and we don't include cereals, starches, or legumes in our pâtés, let alone quinoa. So, no starch, no problem!
By the way, we provide you with a detailed list of all the ingredients we use here.
#3 - There’s no chicken fillet in the kibble
This will probably be your biggest disappointment.
No, the chicken fillet on the packaging of your kibble is not the same chicken that’s in your kibble.
More often than not, it’s actually meat meal, dehydrated meats, or proteins.
We know wheat flour, but what exactly is meat meal??? Well, it’s a “powder obtained by cooking, degreasing, sterilizing, grinding, and sieving animal by-products,” definitely not as appetizing as the Sunday roast chicken they sold you, right?
You might say, “But in the kibble I buy, there’s fresh meat .” And that’s a good point!
But let’s not fool ourselves, it’s still not the Sunday chicken. It’s closer to the meat you find in fast-food nuggets or in supermarket meat (with a bit of carcass thrown in). Stop salivating, we see you!
This meat is called VSM.
What? What’s that?
VSM stands for “Mechanically Separated Meat.”
What? Doesn’t sound too appetizing, does it?
VSM is a product that is “obtained by mechanically removing the meat from the bones or carcasses of poultry. After deboning, this product may contain bone, cartilage, or marrow residue, unlike ground meat or meat for minced dishes”.
We’re definitely far from the protein quality of a chicken fillet. And it’s probably not much different for fish kibble – you’re probably getting more bones and skin than salmon fillet in your kibble.How do we spot this?
Often by the percentage of minerals present in the food, also known as the “Ash Content”. Carcasses and bones both add a lot of minerals (calcium and phosphorus, among others).
So make sure to read the ingredient list carefully and check that the mineral content isn’t too high.
We’ve made the decision to banish all these types of meat from our pâtés. The only animal protein present in our pâtés is muscle meat and offal. We leave the rest to others.
#4 – No, your cat doesn’t need mango, cranberry, chia seeds, or spirulina to be healthy
(and still no quinoa)
What do all these ingredients have in common?
They are very photogenic, they are “superfoods,” but mostly they are “super marketing ingredients.”
All of these ingredients are typically quite expensive, and they are appreciated by humans for their various health benefits: mango and chia are rich in antioxidants (polyphenols) and help protect our cells from free radicals. Cranberry has a disinfecting effect on the urinary tract, and spirulina is very concentrated in plant-based proteins (60-70%).
Another thing they have in common? They literally come from the other side of the world.
Chia from Mexico, mango from tropical countries (mainly Asia), and cranberry from North America.
Exotic! But not really useful.
While they beautifully decorate the packaging of kibble and pâtés, they are by no means essential to our cats’ health.
And often (almost always), you’ll find only 0.00001% of… mango skin in your kibble.
To add fiber to our recipes, we decided to prioritize French vegetables, a bit basic, we admit: carrots, zucchini, and green beans. Less sexy, yes, but we guarantee your cat won’t hold it against you. It just won’t be posting its pâté on Instagram.
#5. “Knowledge is Power”
What’s the moral of the story?
Understanding what your cat eats every day is just as important to its health as knowing what goes on your own plate.
The less transparency there is, the more doubt there is!

Your little companion seems stressed? Maybe it's time to reveal your inner masseur/masseuse!
First, try to identify the source of the stress: a vet visit, a new family member, or maybe a recent move?
Then it’s your turn to help them relax. Just like with humans, massage works wonders on cats. But for the best results, you need to know how to do it properly.
The effects of massage on our cats
Massaging your cat has many benefits: first of all, it relieves tension and improves blood circulation. When you touch certain areas of their body, it triggers the release of endorphins (feel-good hormones), which help support the immune and cardiovascular systems.
It’s also a great opportunity to monitor your cat’s health and detect any pain or injury. Plus, it strengthens your bond with them—and that’s priceless!
Bonus for you: your blood pressure drops, and you relax too. It’s well known—cat purrs have anti-stress effects on humans.
However, avoid any rough manipulations—leave that to specialized osteopaths!
How to properly massage your cat
Step 1: Start with the head
Begin gently, by softly feeling the areas they love to be petted—most often the head and neck. Then use light circular movements. You’ve probably noticed that the top and back of the head, around the ears, and between the eyes are favorite spots for most cats.
Step 2: Extend the massage zone
Slowly move your hands down their body using small circles along the shoulders, sides, and rear end! You can apply VERY gentle pressure with the palms of your hands.
Step 3: Try the belly
Warning: sensitive area! As you know, most cats don’t enjoy belly rubs. But if your furry friend is relaxed enough to lie on their back, you can gently stroke their tummy. Be very delicate, and start by pressing your palms lightly on their belly and chest.
Step 4: Move down to the legs
Many cats dislike having their legs touched. However, the area between the paw pads is hard for them to reach. A gentle massage here can relieve itchiness and provide a strong sense of comfort.
Step 5: Finish with the tail
After the belly and legs, give the tail a try—this is a very sensitive area for cats. To massage it, hold the tail gently between your hands and slide your fingers from the base to the tip. If they start to get annoyed, return to an area they enjoy more.
So, have you tried massaging your cat? Tell us about your experience!
Whatever the cause of agitation or stress in your little companion, it is absolutely possible to help them relax. Here are 5 ideas to calm your favorite furry friend.
#1 Provide hiding spots
As you may have noticed, cats love confined spaces. If they don't have access to the outdoors, they will still appreciate having a proper hiding place. In nature, cats like to observe without being seen. They also seek out hiding spots in case of conflict to feel safe.
A simple cardboard box will definitely make them happy. Typically demanding, in this case, our cats are pretty minimalistic! It’s no secret—according to a Dutch study, cardboard boxes have a calming effect on cats.
In general, cats need a safe environment where they can easily access their food, litter box, scratching post, and toys without being constantly disturbed.
#2 Help your cat relax with music
Scientific research has once again shown the positive impact of music on our cats. Be careful with your music choice—your kitty may not be a big fan of rock or R'n'B! It seems our cats are particularly sensitive to gentle and relaxing music. Some composers have even created music exclusively for cats, based on the tempo of purring and the sounds kittens make during nursing.Definitely worth trying to see the effects of music therapy on your little one...
Find some of these tracks on: Youtube or Spotify.
#3 Consider valerian!
Using valerian can be recommended to relax a cat that is too stressed. It is used in small doses by veterinarians to treat anxiety naturally. However, it is still useful to understand the causes of stress in your little companion, whether it’s a move, the loss of a fellow pet, the arrival of a new animal, or a trip to the vet. Valerian is available in different forms, such as sprays, indoor diffusers, or in small toys.
At Ziggy, we offer small cat toys infused with catnip, a natural ingredient that induces feelings of well-being.
#4 Naturally calming scents
Cats are extremely sensitive to smells. That’s why it might be helpful to place a piece of clothing with your scent in their bed or on their cat tree.
If a new animal has arrived in your home, it’s also useful to get your cat accustomed to its scent before a physical introduction.
#5 A massage session
It doesn’t work only for humans! Massages are known to promote physical relaxation, but also mental calm in animals. Massaging your little companion will relieve tension, calm them down, and strengthen your bond. Unfortunately, "my turn" won’t work with them!
In autumn and winter, grey skies and gloom often set the tone — but there's no way we're giving in to the blues! We’ve put together a cozy wellness activity list to enjoy at home with your cat.
#1 Books, a hot drink, and a cat
Instead of watching TV, why not spend some time reading with your kitty? Our shelves are full of books we've never read. Reading helps us escape and disconnect. And why not read to learn? With time slowing down, it's a great moment to dive into exotic cookbooks, vegetarian recipes, or your good old baking guide to brighten up your afternoons. You could also learn a new language, take up sewing, embrace a greener lifestyle, or explore nutrition — the possibilities are endless depending on what you love!
#2 Light some candles for a cozy vibe
Light a few candles at home, in the living room or even during a bath, for total relaxation. We love autumnal scents like cinnamon, cotton, gingerbread, or wood fire. It even makes us excited for winter! Just be sure your cat doesn’t play with the flames.
#3 Massage session and purring
What’s more relaxing than a long massage and some gentle petting? Just hearing our furry friend purring on our lap helps us forget everyday stress. It's scientifically proven — purr therapy is good for us.
#4 Video games in good company
Gamers, take note... if you can finish a round in peace, hats off! You're more likely to laugh watching your cat stare at the screen or play with the cables.
#5 A nap for two
Your furry hot water bottle is the perfect nap companion. Their warmth helps us relax and drift off to dreamland. See? Being at home isn’t so bad after all.
#6 Yog’cat session
This pose may not be for everyone (definitely not us!), but a simple session of gentle exercise, yoga, stretching, relaxation or meditation with our furry pals can boost our endorphins — the feel-good hormones. It’s perfect in the morning or evening to clear your mind and recharge. Namaste!
#7 Aperitif time
Of course, we didn’t forget this one! What better way to end the day than with a warm, comforting meal? Head to the kitchen and cook something special for your loved ones — or just for yourself! And for your cat? Ziggy’s got it covered!
#8 Capture the good times
You probably already have (at least) 3,000 cat photos on your phone… and so what? Take this quiet moment to snap some more and immortalize your furry friend’s cutest expressions. Why not print a few and create a lovely photo wall?
#9 Pamper yourself and your cat
Face mask, manicure, moisturized skin... take time to treat yourself! And why not invite your cat to join the spa moment? He might not be into nail polish, but he’ll likely enjoy a good brushing and cuddle session. On our blog, we share tips to massage your cat.
#10 Get cooking
Sweet or savory, healthy or indulgent... whip up something delicious! Is your kitty eyeing your plate? No worries, we’ve got them covered too!
We thought of you with this selection of books about cats that won’t leave you indifferent! Novels, a "cat lover" dictionary, books about nutrition and behavior... There’s something for every taste. Get comfortable with a blanket, a cup of tea, and your kitty on your lap, and get ready for many hours of reading.
