Cats are the little fur-balls who light up our lives with their never-ending curiosity and incredible enthusiasm. Like dogs, cats can be trained to ensure that their playfulness doesn’t come in the way of our routines. While only dogs have been given all the credit of being a man’s best friend, and a loyal companion, cats don’t lag far behind either. Yes, they are the kind of creatures whose love you need to earn, but they are also those who love you unconditionally, comforting you in times of grief and being a complete goof ball when you are both in the mood for some fun. With our lives mainly revolving around our jobs and other social commitments, it is essential to make sure that your lively little pet is just as happy indoors as she is outdoors. Read on for a few tips and tucks for keeping your cat happy, indoors:

Give her space: Cats are full of energy, constantly on the move and exploring new things. Expand her indoor space by investing in kitty condos or climbing trees. These cat toys are easily available in the market and are great building blocks to help your cat warm up to the great indoors. Adorn the house with plants like oat grass seed, which are sold at all the local pet stores and great for indoor cat surroundings. After she is trained well enough to not jump out windows (Especially if you live on a higher floor), you can keep the windows open for her to catch some much needed sunlight and wind. Screen your windows to prevent any accident. Making your indoor space cat-friendly is a surefire way to ensure that your cat loves being indoors.
Cat toys: There is more scope for exercise for a cat when she is outdoors than when she isn’t. However, there are a number of other ways to indulge your pet and to make sure she gets her workout that keeps her active. Playing chase is one of the most perfect activities to keep your cat on her toes. Ribbons, catnip toys, and laser dots are the most widely used toys for cats. You can also build box forts for her to explore or hide a number of toys around the house so she can find them. The possibilities are absolutely endless to ensure that you cat gets all her exercise without compromising on play.
The cat room: Get a little indulgent and make a tiny space exclusively for your cat. Crowd it with toys, boxes, shelves and perches for her to climb in and relax after a long day chasing the laser dot. After all, even cats need some space for themselves!
