3 Ways To Enrich Your Cat's Life

We recognize the importance of enriching the lives of our dogs, but what about our feline companions? Without adequate enrichment, your cat may begin to display problem behaviors. Keeping your feline friend entertained with the following suggestions will optimize their well-being.

#1: Allow your cat to express their scratching needs

Cats have an instinctive desire to scratch because this behavior fulfills many of their mental and physical needs. Ensure the post or pad is large enough for your cat to fully extend when scratching, and provide a variety of scratching surfaces.

#2: Unleash your cat's inner predator through play

Cats love to stalk and pounce on their prey, so provide opportunities for your pet to unleash their inner predator. Choose toys that look like prey animals, such as catnip mice, plush toys, feather wands, or interactive "insects."

#3: Cater to your cat's natural eating behaviors

Cats are meant to hunt for their food, not gorge themselves on a never-ending buffet of kibble. Make them work for their meals by using food puzzles instead of a dish.
