Funny Things to Try With Your Cat

Just because cats are not as active as dogs, they are not so fun to be with? They are. And they also enjoy activities in and out of the house.

As with most creatures, they get bored, too. When they get bored, that's when they start doing things that may not please you like scratching the door, or going where they shouldn't be going. When cats are bored, they tend to act on their curiosity.

While it is a massive thing for them to explore and be familiar in their territory, when they are bored, and they manufacture their entertainment, you may end up cleaning a lot of mess. The best way to deal with it is to play and do fun things with them.

If running outdoors isn't an option, you can still give them the physical activity that will serve as their exercise and ease their boredom. Here are some ways to do that.
