How to keep your cat busy at home?
Your cat may be bored, but since most felines sleep for about 16 hours a day, it's hard to tell. However, boredom can cause your cat to change its behaviour or develop a state of anxiety. For his well-being, it is therefore important to keep your four-legged friend occupied.
How to recognise a bored cat
In order to be aware that your cat is bored, there are a few behaviours to look out for. This can help you recognise boredom at the first sign and help your cat.
1. excessive grooming
A bored cat will tend to groom itself excessively. This will cause him to lose a lot of hair. Sometimes he will bite his skin or pull out his hair. This can cause him pain, so it is important to watch his grooming.
2. meows differently
Meowing is your cat's language, if she is suffering from boredom she will try to let you know by meowing more or in a different way. Stay tuned if you feel your cat is acting differently!
3. his behaviour changes
If your cat is deeply bored, she may become more aggressive or passive. Sometimes his behaviour changes and he starts biting or fighting with other animals.
4. His diet changes
Your four-legged friend can also show you that he is bored by changing the way he eats. For example, you may notice that he eats more or much less. This is often a sign of a cry for help.
How can you keep your cat busy to prevent boredom?
There are many ways to prevent your cat from becoming bored, even if you are often away. First of all, we advise you to organise your cat's living areas properly. This will allow him to flourish in his territory.
Give your cat as much time as possible
Spend time with your cat whenever you can. You can play with him, cuddle him or take him for a walk, but it's important that you set aside time for him. This not only keeps your cat happy, but also keeps him occupied so he can return to his naps later!
Invest in a scratching post
Clawing is a primary need for cats, they need it to feel fulfilled and to relieve stress. We advise you to read our article on how to choose the right designer scratching post for your feline.
Find games he likes
There is a wide range of toys for your cat to play with, and you can try out several of them to see which ones she prefers. If unfortunately you can't play with your cat very often, we advise you to invest in interactive toys that your cat can play with independently.
Give your cat some exercise with a contemporary cat tree
A contemporary cat tree allows your cat to climb and exercise. We advise you to opt for a handcrafted cat tree with several platforms, such as the Constellation luxury wooden cat tree. The cat will be able to climb and rest at a high level, which gives it confidence and serenity.
Take it outside if possible
If you have a fenced-in outdoor area, you can leave your cat outside under your supervision from time to time to get some fresh air and exercise. Your feline is an explorer and will love to wander around to discover new territories and hiding places.
