Cats are all different and show different levels of activity. For the owner of the animal, it is important to understand that the cat needs more play time and attention.
The cat comes to you
If the cat often meows, climbs on his knees, on a laptop, or suddenly attacks you, this means that the animal lacks your attention.
Cats are just as active as dogs. However, there is not much space in the apartment to release all the energy.
Make sure your cat has something to do.
Set up a special high house for cats.
Buy interactive toys.
Play with your cat.
If you don't have time to play with your cat, choose non-entertainment where your presence is not needed: cat tunnels, catnip, battery operated toys.
The cat is too reserved
If a cat is not getting enough play and attention, it may look miserable.
However, do not force a cat to play if she does not want to.
Perhaps the animal wants to spend the day in relaxation and solitude.
The cat is overweight
If the pet does not have enough activity, he can gain weight.
This happens when a cat eats a lot, but burns almost no calories due to a sedentary lifestyle.
When a cat is bored, she often goes to the bowl and eats to entertain herself.
In this case, it is important to take care of the health of the pet and seek the advice of a veterinarian.
Cat damages furniture
This is a common sign that your cat is bored.
In addition, the lack of play and attention makes the animal more aggressive. Because of what the cat begins to scratch the sofa or chair.
To wean a cat from damaging furniture, purchase special scratching posts and devote more time to playing with a cat.
