8 signes d'ennui dans les chats d'intérieur
Does your cat spend its days indoors?
Indoor cats tend to have a relaxing lifestyle- they have nice long naps in cozy beds, access to food and of course plenty of cuddles. And because they are indoors, they live longer because they are less exposed to dangers like cars, predators and diseases. In fact, indoor cats can live between 12-18 years!
However, just because they live long lives, it doesn't mean it's a happy or particularly fulfilling one - that's why it's up to owners to make sure their much loved indoor kitty receives plenty of activity and stimulation. A cat that doesn't get to express their natural instincts to stalk, scratch, hunt or mark their territory can become bored, irritated, depressed and potentially unwell.
The following are signs that could indicate something is wrong with your cat:

Lack of activity
Anxiété
Overeating
Agression
Obésité
Scratching
Dépression
Léthargie
If you believe your cat is bored it's important you rectify this issue as soon as possible to avoid further complications. Essentially, you need to provide your cat with plenty of stimulus and entertainment. Meaning, provide them with plenty of things to do to keep them occupied during the day - especially for periods when you're not around. Activities that tap into their hunting instincts are perfect. They not only work them physically, but get them to use brain power which is key to allievating boredom.
Un jeu, la «souris dans la maison» est parfait pour divertir votre chat pendant des heures. Une minuterie, qui est activée par vous-même ou même par votre chat (s’ils apprennent comment faire), incite une souris à sortir de sa cachette. Vous pouvez le déclencher à différentes heures. Ainsi, lorsque vous serez au travail, vous saurez que votre chat aura du mal à foncer, à essayer de chasser et de traquer la souris!
So if this is your cat,
then this could be one great way to prevent your cat from getting bored. Why not learn more about the Mouse in the House here.
