Play is both an indicator and promoter of a cat\u2019s wellbeing, as researchers state in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/animal-welfare\/article\/play-and-welfare-in-domestic-cats-current-knowledge-and-future-directions\/6266B8053099D0BB3F8D441F1ADF5CDA\">a 2023 paper<\/a> published by the Cambridge University Press\u2019s <em>Animal Welfare<\/em> journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cat that loves to play is a cat that\u2019s been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacramentocathospital.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-wellness-care-for-cats\/\">well fed and cared for<\/a>, with plenty of energy to focus on playful activities. And play, in turn, can help reduce problem behaviors, and strengthen the human-animal bond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Sacramento Cat Hospital, our team has a few suggestions for helping you and your feline friend tap into the benefits of cat playtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enrichment Activities for Cats&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats like to play by themselves, with other felines, <em>and <\/em>with their human counterparts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our favorite indoor cat games to play with your kitty:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hide and Seek:<\/strong> Cats are natural hunters, which means a game of hide and seek is always a hit. Hide a few favorite toys or treats throughout your home. If you want to join in the fun, hide yourself along with a handful of treats and reward your kitty each time she finds you.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laser Pointer Mazes:<\/strong> This classic game helps engage your kitty&#8217;s hunting instincts\u2014without causing your cat to gift you a dead mouse as a result of her play. Use a laser pointer to create patterns on the floor or walls. Your kitty will chase the moving light, leaping and pouncing as she tries to catch it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bubble Chase:<\/strong> Grab some non-toxic bubbles and blow them for your kitty. Watch as she bats at the bubbles with her paws, swiping and twirling in her efforts to pop them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feather Wand Course:<\/strong> Create a feather wand with supplies from your local craft store. Then, build an obstacle course with discarded boxes, pillows, and play tunnels. Drag your DIY cat toy\u2014the feather wand\u2014through the obstacle course. Your kitty will get a good chase <em>and <\/em>a good workout in!\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Agility Challenges:<\/strong> Cats are some of the most agile animals we know. In recent years, cat parents have discovered the joys of cat agility courses and competitions. That\u2019s right, your kitty can leap, climb, and soar through obstacle courses just like a dog\u2014and probably much better. See if there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/cfa.org\/agility\/what-is-feline-agility\/\">cat agility program<\/a> to join near you or build a course at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, even though you might want to spend all day playing with Kitty, you probably have other things to do. This is where solo toys come in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interactive Cat Toys for Solo Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interactive toys are a perfect way to provide mental stimulation for cats when you\u2019re busy or away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favorite types of interactive toys provide stimulating play for cats, keeping cats entertained no matter what:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Catnip Toys:<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a sock filled with catnip or a catnip toy from the store, cats love catnip. They can spend hours playing with a toy filled with their favorite plant on earth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic Laser Toy:<\/strong> Consider purchasing an automatic laser for days when you have to spend a lot of time at work. You can find ones that are activated by your kitty\u2019s movement and shut off after 10 minutes of play.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Puzzle Treat Dispensers:<\/strong> What\u2019s better than an interactive toy that rewards your cat with a treat? Nothing, that\u2019s what. Amazon has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/food-puzzle-toys-cats\/s?k=food+puzzle+toys+for+cats\">dozens<\/a> of these types of toys. Browse the offerings and pick the one that fits your cat\u2019s purr-sonality the most.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cat Scratch Exercise Wheel:<\/strong> Get your kitty plenty of exercise while tapping into her need to scratch with a <a href=\"https:\/\/onefastcat.com\/\">cat scratch exercise wheel<\/a>. It\u2019s like a hamster wheel, but for cats.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With a plethora of bonding toys and solo activities, you\u2019ll encourage playful cat behavior from your kitty. She\u2019ll never be bored again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking Your Cattitude<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your feline family member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacramentocathospital.com\/blog\/top-10-signs-your-cat-is-sick-and-what-you-can-do-2\/\">seems discontent or agitated<\/a> despite the enrichment activities you provide, bring her to the vet for a wellness visit.
