Life indoors doesn’t have to be boring — especially for our curious feline friends!
If your cat spends most of their time inside, keeping them mentally and physically active is key for their happiness (and to save your furniture).
Here are seven fun and easy activities to keep your cat entertained indoors:
1. Create a Window Watching Spot
Cats love to watch the world go by.
Set up a cozy perch or bed near a sunny window where they can watch birds, bugs, or passing people.
2. Rotate Their Toys
Cats get bored quickly when toys stay the same.
Keep a small box of toys hidden and rotate them weekly to make old toys feel new again.
3. Puzzle Feeders & Treat Games
Engage their brain with puzzle feeders or treat-dispensing toys.
It stimulates their hunting instincts and slows down fast eaters.
4. DIY Box Forts
Cardboard boxes are pure magic to cats!
Build tunnels, hideouts, or multi-level forts to spark their curiosity.
5. Daily Play Sessions
Interactive playtime is essential.
Use wand toys, feathers, or laser pointers for 10–15 minutes twice a day to burn off energy.
6. Cat TV or Videos
Yes, cat TV is real!
Play bird or fish videos on your tablet or TV to capture their attention while you relax.
7. Teach Them Fun Tricks
Believe it or not — cats can learn tricks!
Start with simple ones like “high five” or “spin” using treats and positive reinforcement.
