Cats are experts at hiding pain, which means many cat owners don’t realize their feline friend is suffering from serious dental problems—until it’s too late. In fact, studies suggest that up to 80% of cats over the age of four have some form of dental disease ( Harvey, 2010 ). This means dental health isn’t just an occasional concern—it’s a widespread, often overlooked issue affecting millions of cats worldwide.

A Simple Blanket Can Change a Cat’s Life Forever

Imagine this: A scared, bewildered cat sits in the corner of a cold shelter cage. The hum of fluorescent lights and the sound of barking dogs fill the air. Everything familiar is gone—the soft bed they might have known, the warm laps, the comforting smells of home. For so many cats without homes, this is their daily reality. Pic: ArtActiveArt, Pixabay Now, picture this same cat curling up on a plush blanket or batting a toy across the floor. The softness beneath them provides a sense of security, and the toy gives them a spark of curiosity and playfulness. A simple act of kindness—just one blanket or toy—can transform a shelter cage into a place that feels a little more like home. Why Comfort Matters for Shelter Cats Cats thrive on routine and familiarity. Being placed in a shelter, even the best-run ones, can be a traumatic experience.
