Tickle her interest in playtime with these pointers. Fetch, chase, and catch sound like games you would play with your dog. But your cat needs an exercise routine too, and these games can be part of a lifetime of healthy fun for you and your feline.
Exercise is an important step toward good health and a balanced life.
After all, regular exercise helps prevent obesity, improves your cat's physical condition, teaches social skills, and helps prevent bad behavior. And contrary to popular belief, cats don't get all the exercise they need on their own. And while the objects she attacks may look like string or stray feathers to you, to your cat each toy is live prey for her to hunt down and kill. When you start looking, you'll find a huge array of toys that will stimulate even the laziest lapcat. Consider toy fishing poles for cats, catnip toys, stuffed animals, or feathered strings.
