Although cats are known to like to wander on their own, they still feel affection for their owners.
Therefore, leaving pets completely alone for a long time is, admittedly, not a good idea.
If you feel an urgent need to leave, at least try to make sure that the cat does not get bored in your absence.
Various entertainment options will help you with this.
Interactive toys
You may have already seen (and if not, you should take a look) multi-tiered pyramids with a ball hidden inside, which the cat is supposed to chase with its furry paw. A hanging mouse (a toy, of course) with a tail made of feathers for added fun is a good entertainment. Teasers on springs also cope with their task with a bang.
Cat Balcony
This is a special structure that looks like a cage and is installed outside the window. With its help, the cat gets the opportunity to safely observe what is happening outside.
Search games
Before leaving, the owner hides a treat in a special box or mat. The cat's task is to find and, of course, eat its favorite treat.
Scratching post
A free-standing scratching post or a whole play complex that can be climbed on will keep your pet busy for a long time.
All of the above leisure options are not only a way to relieve boredom, but also a way to prevent bad behavior in your cat.
