Cats may sleep for much of the day, but regular play is essential for their physical and mental health. Without enough stimulation, cats can become bored and develop unwanted behaviors.
Signs your cat may need more playtime include excessive meowing, scratching furniture, nighttime zoomies, overeating, and knocking objects off shelves. Interactive toys and daily play sessions help satisfy your cat’s natural hunting instincts while providing exercise.
Even just 15 to 20 minutes of active play each day can improve your cat’s mood, reduce stress, and strengthen your bond.
