Cats are known to be more independent than their canine friends, however they are primed to pursue prey and for this reason they love to play. The more you play with your kitty or set up games for them the happier – and more likely to stay out of trouble – they will be.
The Cat Protection Society of Victoria Behaviourist, Natalya Dundovich feels it is important to engage with your four legged friend and to keep them entertained.
“ We can help our cats stay out of trouble by increasing the play that we are doing with them, especially hunting style games as this makes cats feel good and reduces stress. We can also get them foraging for their meals, starting with scattering food on the floor and pointing out the pieces. This is another way to reduce their stress,” Ms Dundovich said.
