When to play with the cat? This is something that we should all ask ourselves before even taking him home, as that will mean that we intend to spend time with him and do what we can to make him have fun.
And, living with a feline is much more than giving him water and food. You also have to love him, respect him, and make sure his life is good. For this reason, I'm going to give you the answer to that question.
And the answer is really simple: whenever possible, but at least 2-3 times a day. In the morning, at noon and at night. It may seem like a lot, but think that these sessions should only last between ten and fifteen minutes. What are 10-15 minutes in a person's life, if we take into account that their life expectancy is 75-80 years? It really isn't much. But what is 10-15 minutes for a cat?
It can be the difference between having a happy cat and a depressed one, since these animals live an average of 20 years, much less than humans. What's more, you have to know that the game has other positive things apart from the funThese are:
- Keeps the furry in good physical shape, or in case you are somewhat overweight, it helps you lose weight.
- Allows you to enjoy your routine more, making you want to get up and share your life with your human family.
- If it goes outside, we will see that the time spent outside is reducedSince you can also have fun indoors, you do not need to be out all day.
- Live your life more calmly, allowing us to be calm while we work.
- Through the game, we can more easily teach you things like not biting and not scratching humansby saying a firm "NO" but without yelling and offering a stuffed animal or other toy.
Apart from all this, it also has benefits for us:
- It helps us to have good blood circulation. Whether we spend a lot of time standing or sitting, it is not uncommon for spider veins or varicose veins that could be painful. Playing with our cat, moving around, avoids (or controls) this problem.
- If our furry is one of those who enjoys running around the house, we will have no choice but to do the same to keep up with him. A) Yes, by exercising we will improve our health in general.
- We will win the trust of the furry easier and faster.
- We will smile and laugh at least a few times a day, something that never hurts 🙂.
So you already know. You have to play with the cat if you want it to be happy. In pet stores they sell all kinds of toys; Choose some (a ball, a stuffed animal and a cane for example) and use them daily.
