Keeping your cat active will benefit her in the long run. In fact, doing regular physical activities will delay the development of Feline Cognitive Dysfunction. This dysfunction affects a large number of sedentary older cats. Being active also prevents obesity.
There are plenty of ways to keep your cat mentally active and healthy. For instance, you can encourage their predator instincts by letting them play with prey toys. There should be a lot of opportunities for them to engage in natural behaviors such as jumping, running, chasing, etc. even when they are indoors.
You can also let your cat find the toys you’ve hidden. For an additional challenge, hide the toys on top of shelves or somewhere quite far so they’ll have to walk. Finding the items will provide them with exercise. And they will also be rewarded when they finally find their favorite toys.
Contact your veterinarian Leesburg VA if you have any concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior.
