Daily Cat Lesson: Does Your Indoor Cat Get Enough Exercise?

🐾 Daily Cat Lesson: Does Your Indoor Cat Get Enough Exercise?



Indoor life is safer - but it can also be very sedentary.
Cats need regular activity to help maintain healthy weight, muscles and joints, and to satisfy their natural hunting instincts.

🐾 Buying toys isn't enough



Many cats quickly lose interest in toys that just lie on the floor.
Interactive play works better: wand toys, feathers, balls to chase, tunnels, climbing trees or anything that moves like prey.

• Try several short play sessions instead of one long workout. Even 5-10 minutes of chasing, jumping and pouncing can turn exercise into a hunt rather than a fitness program.
• For food-obsessed cats, puzzle feeders can make them work for part of their meal too.

And if your cat is surrounded by toys, yawns, washes her face and goes back to sleep?
Apparently the personal trainer needs to try harder. 💪
