Pet cats still possess a strong instinct to hunt for prey even if their food is provided for them by their owners. Even without any live prey around, you may have noticed your kitty engaging in prey play, chasing and jumping at imaginary prey, and prowling through every nook and cranny of the house.

Pet cats, especially indoor only cats need plenty of opportunities for physical and mental stimulation. Natural behaviors should also be encouraged. These can go a long way in preventing the development of undesirable behaviors in cats that are bored and unhappy.

When choosing prey toys for your cat, make sure that these are cat-safe toys. You can also play hunting games with your pet to feed his instincts.

Cat trees, kitty condos, hanging prey toys around the house, etc. can give your pet hours of fun and exercise.

Don’t hesitate to call your veterinarian care Frisco, TX if you notice any change in your pet’s health and/or behavior.
