5 Simple Ways to Keep Your Indoor Cat Entertained

A new toy, a happy cat, and zero boredom at home

Is your indoor cat climbing the curtains or looking for trouble? Here are five easy boredom-busters that keep your cat active, curious and happy.

Food Puzzles
Place a few treats inside a simple puzzle box. This encourages problem-solving and gives your cat a fun mental challenge while searching for rewards.

Chase the Dot
Use a laser pointer or a phone app to create moving dots on the floor. Remember to finish the game with a real toy so your cat gets a satisfying “catch.”

DIY Box Fort
Stack a few cardboard boxes and cut out small openings. Most cats love exploring dark spaces, jumping in and out, or curling up for a nap.

Feather Wand Play
Move a feather wand like real prey for a few minutes, once or twice a day. Quick and unpredictable movements work especially well.

Nature Videos
On busy days, many cats enjoy watching birds and squirrels on YouTube. Make sure the screen is set up safely and out of reach.
