Cat Laser Pointer

Make windows accessible

If you are scared of taking your cat outside the house, you can make the windows accessible. Your cat can climb and have a different view of outdoors through the window.

You can set up a bird feeder that can be seen by a cat when it is seated by the window. Your cat might enjoy the view of birds.

Make sure that the window is secure so that the cat doesn’t jump outside to explore the bird feeder.

Train her!

You can teach your cat a new technique or skill.

Cats are intelligent and can mimic human beings’ behaviour and activities.

You can teach your cat a ‘high five’ technique and teach it how to dance or play with a ball. These activities can create a bond between you and your pet as you stay safe at home. 

Empty boxes still work!

If you don’t have many toys, your cat can be easily entertained with empty card boxes or shopping bags. You can also use card boxes to make toys that can be used by your cat. 

Cats like watching TV

You can amuse your cat indoors watching TV together. Yes, your cat can watch TV programmes and focus for some time.

There are films that can be watched by cats.

Films and videos that feature birds and rats can capture your cat and keep it glued on the screen.

Outdoor games

Your cat can be entertained outside the house so that you don’t exhaust your indoor games. You can let your cat play with the ball outside. Make sure you don’t let the cat be out of your sight.

Closely monitor your cat so that it doesn’t play in dirty places.   

You can also play some outdoors inside the house by being innovative. You can tie together some feathers using a long rope and drag it in the house.

Your cat can enjoy chasing the feathers. Playing indoors gives you an assurance that you are not exposed to infectious coronavirus. 

As you entertain your cats, don’t over stimulate them. Some toys like cat laser pointer might frustrate the cat. Be creative and have fun without boring each other.
