One of the Most widespread health concerns for indoor cats is being overweight. Indoor cats are prone to being overweight mainly because they don’t have to stalk or hunt for their dinner. One of the things you can do for your overweight cat is give her a reduced calorie diet or give her a cat toy to play with. Playing with cat toys is fun and can be beneficial in many ways.
Exercise
One of the best ways to entice your cat to exercise is to dangle a cat toy in front of her. Try putting catnip on your cat toy to “lure” your cat into the “playing mode”. Having your cat play with an interactive cat toy is the “purrfect” way for your cat to get some much needed exercise.
Relief of Boredom
Cats are curious by nature. When cats are indoors they can get depressed due to the lack of excitement that is present in the wild. Cats need some sort of challenge every day. Being able to look out a window, climb a cat tree, or chase a feather cat toy is an essential part of being a healthy indoor cat.
Family Bonding
Whether it is a bond between the owner, a child, or another cat, bonding with the aid of cat toys is very important for your cat’s health. Just like humans, cats need to be in a loving family environment. Having an assortment of cat toys to play with your pet not only is a great exercise but is a great way to create much needed bonds to feel like part of the family. Make sure you spread your love to everyone including your cat. When your cat is in a loving environment, she may even play with the family dog. I know mine does!
Summary
All cats whether indoor or outdoor need exercise. One of the easiest and most fun ways is to play with her using a variety of cat toys. Not only with this keep the weight down but it will keep her happy, healthy, and free from stress and boredom. So get out those cat toys and catnip and play, play, play.
