Five-minute games for indoor cats

Tiny sessions can satisfy the hunt sequence and bring more spark to an ordinary afternoon.

Five-minute games for indoor cats

Great cat play has a beginning, a chase, a catch, and an ending. Move a wand toy like prey: hide it behind furniture, pause, and let your cat plan the pounce.

Two or three short sessions often work better than one long workout. Rotate toys so familiar objects become interesting again, and put string toys away after play.

Finish with a successful catch and a small snack when appropriate. That satisfying ending can help your cat transition from alert play to grooming and rest.

Small steps make a good life.
