Is your indoor cat happy and enjoying life in your home? Are you thinking about making your outdoor cat an indoor cat? Or even just thinking about getting a cat for the first time? Here is our top ten list of things that help keep your indoor cat happy.
Clean Litter
Cats are clean freaks and appreciate when their
litter boxes are cleaned frequently. It will not only keep your house cleaner (remember they step into and out of litter boxes all day), but your cat happy.
Sunlight
Cats love to bask in the sun, so make sure they have access to a sunny spot in your house during the day.
Toys
Don’t let your cat get bored!
Cats are naturally curious and need to be challenged. Keep a variety of toys around your home to keep your kitty occupied, including toys to bat around, to chase, and to scratch.
Climbing
Most cats enjoy being in high places
and climbing is also good exercise. Get your cat something they can climb on and play around in, like a cat tree or kitty condo.
Room with a View
Watching what is going on outside
(birds! squirrels!) is another thing cats love to do. Don’t keep them in a windowless room all day while you’re gone. Hang a hammock on the window or give them access to a perch where they can watch all that’s happening outside
Grass
Cat grass is a great option for your indoor cat. They like to eat it, play in it, and it help them feel like they are spending time outdoors.
