How to keep house cats happy?

It's a myth that going outside is a requirement for feline happiness. Playing regularly with a cat and providing their entertaining toys can easily satisfy their stalking instinct, keep them stimulated and provide the exercise they need to stay healthy and happy. It also keeps local wildlife safe!


With the cold weather upon us, here are some tips for making the great indoors an interesting, feline-friendly environment that meets all of your cat's needs.

1. Provide scratching posts in several locations so they can mark territory, strengthen muscles and sharpen claws.

2. Engage with interactive tech toys and giving your cat a realistic hunting experience. 

3. Give them at least two types of resting place - one at floor level, enclosed on three sides and another higher one with a good view. This should be safe for your cat to access.

4. Don't leave them alone too much - you shouldn't leave cats alone for long periods during the day.

5. If your feline is one of the catnip enthusiasts, it can be a wonderful means to keep them engaged and content indoors. Make it dried in sachets or interactive toys, as a spritz to refresh toys and bedding, or even as a potted plant basking in a sunlit window for your cat's occasional nibble.

6. Love Your Cat!
