Cats are lots of fun. They are contrary and stubborn however. Most of the time they want to play on their terms. They also don’t care if you want to or not. There are ways to keep cats occupied when you don’t want to mess with them. Here are some fun ways to entertain your cat, some with human interaction and some without.

· Put him a perch up in the window seal. If you don’t want to attach something to your home, just put a chair in front of the window. Cats will have lots of fun watching the birds and other animals play. They will make cute little mewling noises because they want to be outside with the action.

· Get a windup mouse and let him chase it. These are very inexpensive and will afford lots of entertainment. If you don’t want to buy something specific, just use a regular little ball and let him push it around.

· Attach an object to a string and hang it from the bottom of a table. Cats will bat it back and forth for hours. This is a sure winner.

· Take the cat outside. Even indoor cats like to see what the outside has to offer. If you are worried about fleas and ticks, keep the cat on the porch. He won’t mind, because it will still be something new and different for him to explore.

· If you are really brave take your cat for a walk. Yes, you can put cats on leashes. It will just take some getting used to for everyone.

These are just some simple ways to entertain your cat. I’m sure if you put your mind to it you can think of more. Cats lay around most of the time, but they do need exercise ever now and then. To keep your cat healthy, give him something active to do. To engage his mind, give him things to look at. Be a good cat parent!
