Cat care tips for Seattle

Keep your cat happy through Seattle's famously gray, rainy seasons

Winter gray and indoor enrichment

Seattle cats spend months indoors during the long gray winter. Mental stimulation is critical. Puzzle feeders, window bird feeders, cat trees, and rotating toys prevent boredom and depression. Ask your sitter to engage your cat with interactive play daily.

Wildfire smoke season

Late summer brings wildfire smoke from Eastern Washington and Oregon that can make Seattle's air hazardous. During smoke events, keep all windows closed and run air purifiers. Cats with respiratory conditions need extra monitoring during these periods.

Damp and mold prevention

Seattle's rainy climate can create damp conditions in older homes and apartments. Ensure your cat's sleeping areas are dry and well-ventilated. Mold can cause respiratory issues in cats, so check for damp spots in closets and corners.

Temperature management

Seattle rarely gets extremely hot, but summers can bring surprise warm spells. Most Seattle homes lack air conditioning. During heat advisories, ask your sitter to use fans, keep blinds closed, and provide ice in your cat's water to help them stay cool.
