when their environment is predictable.
Try to keep feeding and playtime at relatively consistent times.
Provide Enrichment
A cat that is mentally and physically stimulated may have less desire to search for stimulation elsewhere.
Provide:
- Toys
- Scratching posts
- Climbing areas
- Comfortable resting places
- Interactive play
Create a Safe Outdoor Space
If your cat enjoys being outside, consider safer alternatives such as:
- A secure catio
- Supervised outdoor time
- Harness and leash walks
- A secure garden enclosure
These options can provide stimulation without giving the cat unrestricted access to potentially dangerous areas.
