Senior Cat Comfort & Care

What’s better than watching your senior cat get that sudden urge to go after a toy or get a little zoomie? Not much. There are ways you can encourage your cat to play on their own and find those moments of joy when their prey drive is sparked.

• Swap toys in and out of rotation often. If the same furry mouse has been sitting in the same spot for a week, it won’t grab your cat’s attention. A mouse they haven’t seen in a month suddenly showing up by their bed might.
• Look for different kinds of toys. There’s more to life than furry mice and plastic spring toys. Even the material can entice your cat. Try toys made with real fur or hide.
• Spritz toys with catnip spray or rub them with dried catnip or silvervine powder.
