Play is an important part of supporting a cat’s overall wellbeing. Regular play helps cats stay physically active while also providing mental stimulation that can reduce boredom and frustration.
Cats are naturally curious animals and respond strongly to movement and unpredictability. Activities that involve chasing and reacting help cats express behaviours linked to their natural instincts.
Offering a variety of safe toys and changing play routines can help maintain interest and encourage positive behaviour. Play also helps strengthen the bond between cats and their owners.
Ending playtime in a calm and rewarding way allows cats to feel satisfied and relaxed after activity.
