Conscientious pet owners try to pay full attention to their pet.
At the same time, they do not limit themselves to a portion of food and clean water, but entertain cats with games strictly according to the instructions of the veterinarian. And these are not just words.
Physical activity is no less important for cats than for people. Cats with reduced physical activity become obese, diabetic, and have heart problems, zoopsychologist, veterinarian, and behavior correction specialist for cats and dogs Alexandra Alexandrova told Veterinary Science and Life.
Why you should play with your cat
1. It is important to play with your pet so that it develops hunting skills. Games increase appetite and at the same time provide additional training.
2. In addition, games relieve stress and get rid of negative emotions, and the owner develops an attachment to the animal.
3. The game also benefits the intellectual development of the pet. Therefore, you need to play with kittens every time they show a desire.
