Pets: Seven Ways To Keep Cats Happy Indoors | Langley Today

By Reisa Mary Stone. Why keep cats indoors? Outdoor cats kill wildlife, and are themselves prey for coyotes, dogs and crazies. They get poisoned, lost and hit by cars. They acquire toxic parasite loads and diseases. In climates without a hard frost (like the West Coast), they?ll repeatedly infest your home with fleas.

Cats do need their natural instincts honoured. Four ways to do this:

1. Harness and leash train your kitty. Exploring the world through your cat?s senses is enjoyable, and deepens your bond.

2. It?s easy to build a wire pen in your yard, or buy a pre-fab Catio. Add climbing shelves from where kitty can view birds and squirrels, and everyone?s safe and happy.

3. Play vigorous ?hunt and chase? games with your cat, using toys.

4. Make at least part of your cat?s diet raw. This includes organ meats and ?safe? bones. Muscle meats alone do not contain sufficient nutrients.

5. Grow cat grass.

6. Neuter your cat to curb much of the roaming instinct.

7. Plug in bird DVDs. Your cat will watch for hours, and even bat at the screen. Fun to watch!
