Environment Enhancement for your cats---
In the wild, cats experience random events all the time. A street cat that walks down a street one day may find that he cannot do this the next day, and he accepts this as a normal course of events. But our indoor cats cannot experience this at all.
Setting up interesting environments for cats and playing certain music or videos will help simulate this spontaneity, keeping your cat entertained while you're away or calming it down if it's distressed.
Here are some of suggestions from Martha Stewart's January 11th show for top life-enhancement ideas for cats:
Stack a few cardboard boxes in your living room, changing the arrangement from day to day to simulate randomness for the cat.
These are so easy to make--Just take some boxes- square or rectangle and get a paper plate as a template. Trace around the plate onto the box and use a box cutter to make holes for your cats to enter the box. If the boxes are not taped shut, tape them down. You can find a big refrigerator box and make a different menagerie of boxes and sizes to make a custom and moveable kitty condo arrangement. If you really want to get decorative, cover the boxes with beautiful contact paper and then cut your openings.
Hang a birdfeeder outside your window. Watching for birds will become your cat's new favorite activity.
Play videos for your cat that bring the outdoors in, which is especially suitable for apartment-bound cats that can't see nature through the windows. Cat sitter DVDs are a great choice.
