How to Have a Happy Indoor Cat

By cinnamon789

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

Climbing and resting perches
Litter box
Windows with screens
Toys: bags, boxes, balls, catnip-stuffed mice, fishing poles, feathers

Step 1:
Place perches where your cat can look out the window. Preferably, place each perch next to a window with screens. It is amazing how much pleasure they get just sitting for hours, smelling scents from outside and listening to sounds.
Step 2:
Keep your cat's litter box pristinely clean. Little things like a clean box really make her day.
Step 3:
Spread an array of toys around the living room. Place some on or near the perch. Suspend them from tables. Play a game of hiding toys and also edible goodies for your cat. Watch her go bananas when she finds the hidden treasures.

Tips & Warnings

Get your cat microchipped, so you can track him if he does get out.
Get your friend spayed or neutered as well, just in case she manages to get out and carouse.
