Cats sleep most of the day, about 16 hours. When they are awake, they need to move around and exercise. In the wild, cats get their physical exercise from hunting. Inside cats receive their exercise from playing with toys that simulate prey. Play provides more than just exercise. Play also relieves anxiety, stress, and boredom. When indoor cats do not have toys to play with, that is when they supplement their playful instincts with anything they can find around the house: curtains, toes, shoe laces, etc. The OurPets RealBirds Collection encourages physical play and mental stimulation by appealing to your cat’s natural instincts. Your cat has ensured an instinct-fulfilling play experience by providing them with a toy that has a tactile feel, an enticing RealBird sound, and a catnip scent.
