Keeping an indoor cat happy and active
Enrichment, vertical space and play routines that support an indoor cat's wellbeing.
Build vertical territory
Cats feel safer with height. A sturdy cat tree and cleared shelving give them territory to survey and retreat to.
Rotate toys, don't hoard them
Rotating a few toys each week keeps play fresh. Wand toys build the hunting sequence of stalk, chase and capture.
Protect hydration
Many cats prefer moving water. A fountain and fresh, clean ceramic bowls can support healthy drinking habits.
