Night zoomies, ankle attacks and 3am knocking things off shelves are usually boredom. Indoor cats need to hunt, climb and watch the world. Give them all three.
The 3-step fix
- Hunt: two 10-minute play sessions a day with a wand toy, ending with a treat.
- Climb: add vertical space with a cat tree or shelf near a window.
- Watch: a window perch turns birds into free entertainment.

Questions people ask
How much play does an indoor cat need?
Most adult cats do well with 2–3 short, active sessions a day. Kittens need more.
Are automatic toys enough?
They help when you’re out, but nothing replaces you on the other end of a wand toy.
Are window perches safe?
Yes, if mounted on clean glass and within the stated weight limit. Check suction cups weekly.
