Cats need you to dangle a little feather in front of them and play tug, carry them up and down stairs when they’re feeling lazy, and even pop them into pet-friendly backpacks so they can enjoy some fresh air with you. Cats enjoy watching you do yoga and occasionally participate.

Cats may even need you to climb a tree or a fence to help get them down. Or to lift a couch because they’ve gotten themselves stuck behind it.
