Playing games with your cat is an
enjoyable act, simple way to enrich his life, provide stimulation and
strengthen the bond you share. Here are some games you can play:
1.
Chase the "Prey"
Use a special toy to simulate the
movement of prey. By dragging a toy across the ground on a string, pausing
periodically like an animal might, you're encouraging your little friend to stalk and pounce like he would in the wild.
This will increase his speed and agility and stimulate his hunting instincts.
It's a good idea to keep the toy hidden until playtime in order to keep him interested
in it.
2.
Run and Fetch
It's surprising, but many cats love
to play fetch - or at least, chase after and catch a ball that you throw an
open area. Ball toys simulate the quick, unexpected movements of prey. Put a
bell inside to get your kitties attention, and roll or toss the ball so that he
can see and chase it. Some cats respond particularly well when a ball is rolled
or tossed into another place or around a corner.
3.
Play With Your Food
Puzzle feeders and food distributor
balls are toys that incorporate your cat's food into a compartment inside. By
rolling or pouncing on the toy, your cat can make it release a few pieces of
food at a time. Using a puzzle feeder stimulates your cat's desire to hunt and
work for food. Remember to account for the food inside a puzzle feeder when
determining your cat's daily nutrition allowances.Try to be the best friend of
yor healthy cat.
