Cheer up a Sad Kitten

Kittens are usually bright and playful animals, but can sometimes be sad and glum. There are many ways to make your kitty happy again.

Steps

 * 1) Give her a treat or two. Cats and kittens alike both love treats. Don't give your kitten too many- they might get sick! [[Image:Cheer up a Depressed Kitten Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Play with them. Kittens are very playful pets. They love to bounce around and play with their owners, so they might be upset if you aren't giving them attention. Get a ball and throw around for your kitten to chase. Tie a string to a feather or another toy and dangle it around your kitten to jump up and try to catch.[[Image:Cheer up a Depressed Kitten Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Save the packing peanuts and box if there is a delivery coming. If there's one thing kittens love, it's boxes. If there's one thing they love even more, it's a box full of packing peanuts! Be sure they don't eat anything or close themselves up in the box.[[Image:Cheer up a Depressed Kitten Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Don't frustrate your kitten. This can make it scratch or bite you, and may make it even more depressed. Don't force it to play with you. You never know - your cat may tired and trying to rest. If it seems frustrated, stroke it gently and leave it alone. You can also put a treat in front of it to cheer it up.
 * 5) If all else fails, take your kitten to the vet. They may not be unhappy, but sick instead. Even if they aren't sick, the vet may be able to give you some information and expert tips on how to cheer him or her up. [[Image:Cheer up a Depressed Kitten Step 4.jpg|center]]
