Playing with your cat is the best possible way to build up a bond between the two of you.  This makes your cat more attached to you.

Keeping your cat fit and healthy starts with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise, such as quality play time. If you have an indoor cat, then one way to get him to have some exercise is through play time.

Playing will help your cat to become confident. Also regular play periods, coupled with petting sessions, will get your cat used to human interaction, he will be less likely to shy away and hide, when visitors call.

Play-time with your cat teaches them important hunting skills. Their hunting skills are very important, and when a cat is confined indoors, they have little chance of developing and expressing these natural instincts. Make sure you encourage your cat to chase a toy mouse, and allow him the chance to pounce in for the ‘kill’. This will aid him should he ever get lost and need to find food.

Your cat will be less aggressive when you play with him. Cats tend to display this characteristic when they become bored. Train your cat not to scratch, bite or attack you with play sessions. Use praise to reward your cat for playing gently, as soon as he shows any sign he is about to use his teeth or claws – end the play session. This will teach your cat to only display his aggressive behavior towards his cat toys, and not you!

Cats need fun in their lives, just like humans need it. Try and relieve your cats boredom of sleeping, eating and using the kitty box with some play time fun and toy games. You will have a happier, more confident and less aggressive kitty.

Games for cats can be done both outside or inside .  Consider cat enclosures outdoor for a safe and happy cat.
