This lens is for your cats entertainment. It's OK if you enjoy yourself too. Just like us they need exercise and good diets for a long healthy life.
To keep an indoor cat healthy you need to interact and play with him or her. It can be as simple as a skrunched up piece of paper or one of the toys below. You'll even get some exercise walking around, picking up and tossing toys. Everyone gets a little healthier!
Enjoy!
Please rate my lense if you're so inclined, thankya!
Kitty Health Care Issues
See your vet regularly
How about your cat's age in human years?
Basic healthcare for your cat.
The Cat Channel is a one stop directory for most everything about cats.
Need to learn what a healthy cat looks and acts like? Well here is the A-Z index on just about everything catty and an encyclopedia too. Here is a list of household items that can make your kitty sick along with plants that cause illness or death.
Factoid: Cats are renowned for their ability to sleep. Did you know house cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day? Quite the languid lifestyle if I say so myself!
If you are someone like me who likes to pull a book off the shelf, I've included three at the bottom of the lens. One on health care, another on behavior and the last on how to make your own cat treats!
Finding your way around Kitty Heaven
A cat's health is tied inexorably to the fact your beast needs daily exercise - just like you! So you really get two lenses in one. In the end it boils down to this issue for me:A healthy cat requires daily exercise.
This is to help your cat or cats get some exercise!
You can jump right in with any cats absolute favorite: catnip.
This is where the never ending chase can be found.
Kitty can chase the catnip filled mice down this hallway.
Toys filled with fresh catnip can be pounced upon in this corner.
Sometimes you come across things that are just plain cool, kitty might even like it too!
Don't forget to pick up and put away the toys when you are done. I keep mine in a kitchen cabinet, so whenever the beasts hear that door open they come a runnin! I think I might be anthropomorphisizing, but I'm pretty sure they get excited when it's playtime!
Why does the toy wind up in the water dish? Anyone? How about a blast from the past then. Meow Mix anyone?
