Why Do Cats Stretch?

Have you ever wondered why cats stretch? Discover the feline art of stretching in this #LivelongTip! 

Cats are masters of stretching, and they have their reasons for doing it:

  2. Improving Circulation: Stretching increases blood flow, providing energy and maintaining flexibility. It’s like their morning exercise routine!
