Having a cat at home can make your apartment a whole lot more fun, and a furry friend can really relieve a lot of stress. Cats also make great cuddle buddies – often when you just want to get some rest! However, there’s more to being a responsible cat owner than just giving them food, water and a little bit of affection. Contrary to common belief, your cat really does want to play with you. Keep reading to learn more about why it’s so important to play with your cat in a friendly and engaging manner.
- Exercise is essential for all humans and animals. Sure, cats are pretty sedentary most of the time, but that doesn’t mean exercise isn’t good for them. It helps control weight and their overall health.
- Play reminds your cat about their predatory instincts, which helps to keep them sharp and focused. Think of it like a job for you. Without anything to occupy your brain or anything to accomplish you’d get bored too!
- Your cat won’t be bored. If you work all day, come home and don’t play, your cat will get listless.
