Although cats, including those like the Japanese Bobtail, may not run or play as much as our canine friends, they still enjoy moving around and having fun with their owners and sometimes other pets. Talk to your vet about appropriate exercises and activities for your bobtail. Cats are natural predators so choose activities that allow them to use their natural instincts to hunt. For instance, tie a toy mouse or a toy bird to a string and drag it across the floor or dangle it in the air. Your cat will most likely take the bait and start pawing at the toy and even chasing it. In the wild, cats tend to spend about three to five minutes ‘playing’ with their prey. Don’t be surprised if your cat loses interest in certain exercise activities after a few minutes. Ask your vet clinic Pembroke Pines, FL for additional activities that you can do.
