Outside cats lead a vary fast paced complicated lives. They have a vary large territories that often contain a variety of things to see and do, including woods, and gardens. They hunt for pry, and they love to explore they hunt, and while outside they may just even interact with other cats. Our inside cats can only explore the house and basically have little to do. Without there mother around to teach them to hunt, they forget what it is to do, and how to go about doing it. Boredom will more then likely set in, especially with indoors only cats. Here are some ideas to help keep yours active and lead a healthy life.

Make sure that your cat has a variety of toys to keep them pacified. Some cats love toys that they can throw around themselves ping pong balls are great. Other cats want toys that require owner participation, such as kitty teasers. Stimulating play for a cat involves opportunities to “hunt” so you have to move the toy in such a way that it looks like something moving like a rodent or bird. Every now and again you will have to bring in a new toy to keep the cat interested in playing.

Have some objects for your cat to explore, such as a cardboard box, a paper shopping bag, or toys that looks like and sound like a giant cave with holes in it, the cat will investigate with her paws. An aquarium with fish, you really hove to think about this one for sure. Rotating the toys and play items often so the cat does not become bored.

Some cats like to watch the commercially available cat videos the most popular ones contain close-ups of various types of birds feeding, flying, and singing. Some cats will watch the same videotape for hours each day, tracking the birds’ movements, chirruping and swatting at the screen. Some cats will even watch lamps, that have moving parts, with these be vary careful that the lamp does not get to hot and can burn the cat. I know that sometime we think “that’s high” she can’t get that, but the cat’s reach, is a lot higher then we think.

Cats love to watch birds, squirrels and other small animals. Position bird, and squirrel feeders outside windows where your cat can observe the goings on. Make really sure the cat can not get out. If you live in an apartment, they have a product that is called a pet veranda, this attaches to the window ,but the cat will be outside in a screened compartment, a bird feeder can be affixed directly to the outside of a window.

Provide several small meals per day rather than one or two large meals. If you can’t be there to do this, then you can purchase a automatic pet feeder, designed to open according to a preset schedule. Your Cats health and well being should be your major concerned at all times.
