🐾 5 Ways to Keep Your Indoor Cat Happy and Active

Indoor cats live longer, safer lives—but they still need stimulation, movement, and play to stay healthy. Without enrichment, cats can become bored, anxious, or even overweight. At Paws N Hands, we believe every indoor kitty deserves a fun, active life. Here are five simple, affordable ways to boost your cat’s happiness—plus the best products to help!

1. 🧸 Provide Interactive Toys

Cats are natural hunters, and interactive toys let them practice those instincts indoors. Wand toys, feather teasers, and puzzle feeders make playtime exciting and mentally challenging.

Try This:

👉 Cat Wand Toy with Feathers – Durable & Safe for Daily Play

👉 Treat Puzzle Toy – Keep Your Cat Engaged While Eating

2. 🪟 Set Up Window Perches

Cats love watching birds, squirrels, and the world go by. A cozy window hammock or perch gives them a front-row seat to nature—without the danger of going outside.

Shop Our Favorites:

👉 Window Hammock Bed – Suction-Mounted, Space Saving

👉 Soft Cat Perch – Washable, Easy to Install

3. 🌿 Rotate New Scents and Sounds

Cats explore with their senses. Try placing cat-safe herbs like valerian or silvervine in different parts of your home. You can also play calming music or bird videos to engage your cat’s ears.

Pro Tip: Rotate toys and scents weekly to keep your cat curious.

4. 🚶‍♂️ Train with a Leash for Outdoor Time

Leash training lets your cat explore the outdoors safely. Start with a comfortable harness and short walks around your yard or porch.

Get Started:

👉 Escape-Proof Cat Harness and Leash Set – Breathable & Adjustable

👉 Extra-Long Cat Leash – Perfect for Supervised Yard Time

5. 🏡 Create Climbing and Hiding Spaces

Vertical space is key for cats. Add cat trees, shelves, or hideaways to give them places to climb, nap, or feel secure.
