5 Ways to Keep Your Indoor Cat Happy and Active

Cats are masters of sleep. In fact, the average cat sleeps for about 15 hours a day! But what happens when they are awake? If your cat is strictly an indoor pet, boredom can lead to behavioral issues like scratching furniture or overeating.

Here is how to keep your feline friend entertained:

• Vertical Space is Key: Cats love to observe their kingdom from above. Cat shelves or a tall scratching post can transform a boring room into a jungle gym.

• Interactive Play: Don't just leave toys on the floor. Use wand toys to mimic the movement of prey (birds or mice). This triggers their natural hunting instincts.

• Cozy Hideaways: Cats need a "safe space" to retreat to when they feel overwhelmed. An enclosed bed or a "cat cave" is perfect for reducing anxiety.

• Fashion for Felines? Believe it or not, some cats (especially hairless breeds like Sphynx) love the warmth of a soft shirt. Just make sure it’s comfortable and doesn’t restrict movement.

Your cat deserves the best life possible. A little stimulation goes a long way!
