Previously, your furry four-legged friend never ignored toys and balls, but now prefers to just sit in the bed?
Decreased activity in cats does not just happen. Therefore, the owner should never ignore such a phenomenon.
It is possible that your pet needs help and support.
So, what could be the reason why a pet might lose interest in playing?
Tired of toys
Has your cat been playing with the same balls and wind-up mice for years?
Then don’t be surprised that at some point the fluffy one stopped paying attention to these toys.
Try replacing the equipment. Buy new fishing rods and soft things that your pet will definitely notice. Perhaps this measure will be enough to make the animal active again.
The pet is under stress
A cat may lose interest in playing during times of stress.
Has your pet been scared of something recently? Provide it with peace. Make the cat's corner as comfortable as possible for your pet.
Pet your cat more often. If the animal does not want to interact with you, just leave it alone. Over time, your four-legged friend will relax and calm down. And then - return to activity.
Health problems
It is possible that the cat simply got sick, which is why it stopped paying attention to the toys.
It is possible that the pet has joint pain. There may be other health problems. In any case, the animal needs to be taken to a veterinary clinic.
