Kitty Entertainment

While it's absolutely true that cats sleep for around 12 - 16 hours every day, they also need recreational pursuits whether they be alone, with another cat or with one of their chosen humans. Recerational pursuits can be passive such as watching the world go by through the window or playing rough and tumble. Be sure to give your kitty choice in what's available for their entertainment and enrichment.

Toys

It’s really a matter of different strokes for different folks when it comes to cats and their preferred toys but one things for sure: they need a variety to keep them entertained. While some cats love a bit of rough and tumble, that would be stressful for others who prefer a quiet game with a soft toy alone or with their chosen human.

Climbing

Kitties are naturally climbers; their ability to climb is one aspect that sets them well apart from most other pets. Climbing and being at height gives cats a sense of safety as they know other animals plus small children can’t reach them : )

Why not invest in some quality climbing apparatus?

Are you looking for something that will add even further to the TV-like experience of watching kitties climb up and down their tower? Take a look at the LED Scratching Post / Towers from site partner Omlet; it’s like a cat-activated dance party in your living room. They also have a stylish, customisable floor to ceiling cat tree with adjustable height to fit any room.

Scratching

Scratching opportunities are super important for healthy cat claws. Claws regularly shed their outer layer just like how a cat loses small amounts of fur constantly; scratching on rough surfaces allows your kitty to rid itself of the loose outer layer of the claws. The best way to help your kitty with this is to provide a scratching post.

You might opt to have one that’s part of your cat tree or there are smaller separate options. Remember, that it will deteriorate over time with all the scratching so it’s best to buy a good quality scratcher such as those available from one of our site partners.

Apart from the Discoteque LED Scratching Post / Tower, Omlet have a large selection of more conventional scratchers plus a wall-mounted option. What’s best about Omlet’s range is that the outer sleeves can be replaced to allow you to economically maintain the appealing appearance of what will become your kitty’s favourite play-station. Just use our OMLET shopping link.

Enclosures, trackers, Collars, Leads

While kitties love outside time, it’s simply not worth taking the multitude of risks (cats, dogs, humans, snakes, traffic, poison, getting lost etc). How about investing in a cat enclosure??

It could be something simple like netting a balcony or you might like to treat your kitty to something more elaborate like a cat run!!

Whichever you decide and whether it’s DIY or professionally supplied and installed, do it properly so that your kitty is safe and secure. You don’t want your Houdini-kitty to escape or fall from a balcony : (

Site partner Omlet has a wide and affordable range of enclosures and netting systems to find something to suit your space. They’ve been so kind as to provide us with our very own shopping link:

To make your enclosure a kitty haven, add a climbing tower, scratcher, bed, toys, kitty liiter and water fountain to keep your kitty fully occupied.
