Enrichment Toys and Hiding Places

Cats love playing. Cats especially enjoy toys with moving parts and an unpredictable course of movements. Check out the safety of toys such as strings and small parts before purchase. 

Cats also love high places to hide in and to watch the world below. A safe hiding place, such as on top of cupboards and wardrobes, or a box, does help to reduce stress in cats, especially in multi-cat households. 

Scratching posts: 

Cats need to scratch to sharpen their claws. Some like vertical posts and some like horizontal boards. Cats have preference for different textures. Try different ones and see which one your cats prefer. 

Catnip: 

Catnips and cat grass are some of the most irresistible scents for cats. Spraying these scents on items such as scratching posts will often entice them to use these areas. This is also useful to reduce stress in multi- cat households
