BECOME CAT-WISE WITH THESE SIX TIPS

Playing is one of the most essential activities for the cat.

 

Welcome to our page where we discuss the importance of playing with your cat. Playing is indeed one of the most important activities for cats, not only because it helps them exercise and satisfy their hunting instincts, but also because it plays an important role in strengthening the bond between you and your cat.

By playing with your cat you can encourage him or her to be physically active, which is essential for their health and well-being. It can also help prevent boredom and behavioral problems, such as aggression or destructiveness.

On this page we will discuss different reasons why you should play, how you should play and, for example, how long you should play with your cat. 

So, if you're looking for ways to strengthen the bond between you and your cat while helping your cat stay active and healthy, feel free to watch our Tabby Tiger videos and discover the many benefits of playing with your cat.

TIP 3 - How long and when to play?

On average, you can play with your cat 2 to 3 times a day. Don't worry, it doesn't always have to be the same length. This could be from a few minutes to ten minutes. But what if your cat doesn't feel like it, or you don't feel like it?

Cat coach Julie explains in just under 2 minutes how to best approach this.

TIP 4 - Which toy fits best?

Cats love little things that run away and move to chase and catch them. An ideal way to get toys moving is the Tabby Tiger cat rod.

TIP 5 - Put everything away after playing!

Always put the fishing rod away after playing. This will prevent the cat from biting the rod or toys and possibly swallowing small particles. Of course we want to avoid that!

TIP 6 - After playing, always reward!

There is also quite a reward after a playing session. This could be with a reward toy or a nice, healthy Tabbies snack. This way you ensure that the cat is not left frustrated when you suddenly stop playing.
