Exercise for your cat is very important, not only for the overall health of your feline friend but for weight control as well. As a cat ages, they frequently become less active agile from arthritis. Engaging your cat in regular play can increase blood flow, increase muscle strength, and help control weight for cats that are fat cats.
Most cats need or expect some kind of attention every day. A brief exercise and play time at least once a day will be beneficial to your cats health as well as its mood. If you are away from home for long periods of time, that special time you devote to your feline friend is necessary to your cats mental health as well. Some cats may even become depressed from being alone too long.
Choose toys that will be safe and fun for your furry friend. Safe toys are ones that are too large to be swallowed and strong enough to withstand tearing and chewing. Unsafe toys are ones made of yarn or string. Because cats have a very difficult time spitting things out of there mouths, cats choke on long strings and yarn very easily. Pieces of toys that they swallow sometimes get lodged in the intestinal tract.
