So your indoor kitty has put on some kilos and you know he needs to get some exercise. Unfortunately you can’t exactly put him on a treadmill! How exactly, do you get your indoor cat exercising?
- Use fun toys instead of food as a treat - focus on items that will really get your cat moving, like a stringed feather on a pole that your cat will never get tired of swatting at
- Use vertical spaces in your home for your cat to jump on. This could be a window sill, set of empty shelves or a cat tree. Even when you're not home to play with your kitty, he still has an opportunity to burn some energy by jumping
- Separate food and water bowls so your cat has to get up and burn energy to get from one to the other - using the vertical space works well here
- Invest in a laser pointer - even the most lazy cats will find it hard to resist
- Hide and seek - place your cat's food around the house - make him work hard for his dinner!
Did someone say you can't put a
cat on a treadmill??
