For example, if your cat chases a laser pointer, that’s normal. If they chase a wall and bite it for ten minutes straight? That’s a red flag. This mental exercise keeps you sharp, and it makes you appreciate their usual quirks more.
Plus, it makes you a hit at vet visits. You can say, “I noticed she’s been drooling and avoiding light,” and your vet will high-five you telepathically for being observant.
