Cats Need To Play
Free-ranging and feral cats lead complex and busy lives. They maintain large territories that often contain a variety of habitats, including forest, farmland and urban gardens. They explore, they hunt, they scavenge for food, and they may even interact with other cats. In contrast, our household cats have little to do. Without a proactive pet parent, boredom may set in, especially with indoors-only cats.
Provide a variety of toys for your cat. Some cats prefer toys that they can throw around themselves. Other cats prefer toys that require owner participation, such as kitty teasers and cat dancers. Stimulating play for a cat involves opportunities to “hunt” so move toys in such a way that they mimic the movements of a rodent or bird. Introduce new toys periodically to keep the cat interested in playing
