Playtime: Engage your cat in interactive play sessions using toys such as laser pointers, feather wands, or toy mice. This can help mimic hunting behavior and provide mental stimulation.
Cat trees and climbing structures: Encourage your cat to climb and explore by providing cat trees, shelves, or other climbing structures. This can help them stay active and engaged.
Puzzle feeders: Use puzzle feeders or food-dispensing toys to make mealtime more engaging for your cat. This can encourage them to "hunt" for their food and provide mental stimulation.
Rotate toys: Keep your cat's interest by rotating their toys regularly. Introducing new toys or hiding toys around the house can keep them active and curious.
Outdoor enclosures: If it's safe and feasible, consider setting up an outdoor enclosure or catio where your cat can safely explore and get some exercise.
Remember to consult with your veterinarian before starting any exercise routine for your cat, especially if they have health conditions or are overweight.
