Play is not just entertainment; It is a mental and physical exercise that protects the cat from obesity, stress, and behavior problems.
Why should you play with your cat?
Domestic cats miss hunting and exploring, and playing compensates for this instinct.
- Reduce stress and aggression

10-minute daily routine
One morning and one evening session is sufficient. End the play with a meal to make the cat feel accomplished.
