Indoor Outdoor Toy
How do I rereadjust my cat’s life to an indoor or partially outdoor lifestyle?
For a cat who depends on the outdoors for her sole source of fun.. rarely does she pounce and play inside the house –mouse toys intrigue her for a day until she tears it apart and then it’s garbage. She doesn’t care for cat nip much. She likes it when i play with her but it’s time consuming and exhausting to throw a candy around and keep running to find it and throw it again.
What are your thoughts on a cat harness?
Also, is there a special collar I can put on my cat specifically made to scare off birds? Is one with a bell attached good enough? (I don’t want to make her an indoor cat straight away, i’m going to readjust her gradually).
Thank you.
Harness work on some cats quite nicely. Also, consider a good cat tree and/or staggering carpeted shelves in a stair pattern on some wall.
You can try a laser light for entertainment. They are wildly fun, just be sure not to shine it in her eyes.
Hide dry food around the house for it to hunt.
You can hang ribbon from the door knobs. (Leave room for scissors to cut it off the doorknob after it gets shredded.)
You’re doing the right thing. Your cat will live longer: be exposed to fewer diseases, predators, accidents, etc.
