Cats are able to maintain the sharpness of their mental acuity through play activities. Like humans and playing games, it is the same with cats too, so have your pet chase a ball around so she can exercise her mind and keep her necessary cognitive skills. Offer your pet new playthings like interactive and cognitive kitty toys that will arouse your cat’s curiosity, use her mind to investigate this new toy. It does not matter if your pet cat is old or young, it is not too late or too early to encourage play.
A cat can also get mental stimulation by just looking at what is happening outside. A window or an enclosure outdoors can help in keeping your pet cat’s mind active by encouraging and allowing her to see outside. Cats often look at birds and various other stimuli, keeping them focused and engaged. This engagement then keeps her cognitive functions high.
If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your veterinary clinic Dolton, IL.
