As cats age, they become more sedentary and begin to walk and run more slowly.
However, animals still need physical activity.
Let's figure out how to encourage your elderly pet to move more without harming her health.
Games with an elderly cat
Good options for cats include toys with feathers attached to the end and puzzle toys with treats.
As older cats develop arthritis over time, they may have difficulty jumping even onto low surfaces.
However, it is worth motivating the cat to climb around its cat house by hiding various treats on its tiers.
You can also make a small ball out of a piece of fabric, which your cat will happily chase around the house.
Please note: Do not make a ball out of yarn as your pet may swallow it.
Besides, all cats are delighted with birds outside the window. So lure the birds with a feeder, and your cat will happily watch potential prey through the window.
