Hyperactive behavior is typical not only for people, but also for pets.

How to understand that your cat is one of them? This will be indicated by the habits of the pet, which is in constant motion: scratching its claws on furniture, throwing objects off the table and shelves, or simply running around the apartment like crazy.

If you notice such signs in your pet, be prepared that you will have to pay him much more attention than the “average” cat.

Your task is to properly organize the space and follow a clear schedule.

What do we mean? First of all, make sure that your cat has a high complex equipped with a scratching post.

In addition, you will need to thoroughly purchase or make toys for the animal yourself, which should be made from different materials.

To maintain your cat's interest, don't give away all the entertainment at once, but offer 2-3 new ones every week.

In this case, you need to play with the cat twice a day - in the morning and in the evening, preferably until the purr is completely tired.

The schedule should also include feeding. In addition to breakfast and lunch, be sure to offer your hyperactive pet food after active play before bedtime so that the night passes in peace and quiet.
