3 Tips to Entertain Indoor Cats

I, your cat, have to level with you – sometimes it feels like our life revolves around your entertainment, which makes me feel a little neglected. And when I’m bored, I can’t help but act out. You won’t let me go outside, so let me make it easy for you. Here are some tips to entertain indoor cats. Because I can be a petty kitty if you’re the only one allowed to have fun. 

The VistaGato is the perfect solution to provide me with the enrichment and entertainment I need. This innovation in cat leisure is a window box that allows me to enjoy all the sights, smells, sounds, and sunshine of the outdoors from the safety of the indoors. 

3 Tips to Entertain Indoor Cats

Lucky for you, there are plenty of ways to keep indoor cats like me entertained. From toys and games to window views and a Catio, let’s get into the best options at your disposal. 

1. Get Toys and Games

All work and no play makes fluffy, your cat, a dull feline. All jokes aside, I wouldn’t mind some toys and games to keep myself occupied. Take that as a not-so-subtle hint if you are looking for tips to entertain indoor cats. And, like you, I am what they call food-motivated

Games like puzzle feeders that dispense small amounts of kibble when I interact with them and interactive toys that encourage mental stimulation could liven our situation up. But keep in mind that this should be a team effort. 

So you can certainly help, too, by getting involved with games like fetch, hide-and-seek, play chasing, and treasure hunts or by using a variety of toys like wand toys or feather-teasers to recreate prey-like movements and encourage jumping, pouncing, and chasing.

All of these toys and games stimulate my hunting instincts and provide a rewarding challenge, which is an instinct I rarely have the chance to use inside…unless you count lunging at your feet on occasion. Don’t forget to keep a variety of toys in steady rotation!

And if you want a tip straight from your kitty’s mouth, you can never go wrong with cardboard boxes – so save them if you can.

2. Turn on Cat TV Shows

We spend plenty of time watching your favorite TV shows. But maybe it’s time you stop hogging the TV and thinking about what I would want to watch. I mean, I’d love to go glassy-eyed in front of the TV every once in a while, too. 

Turning on some of my favorite TV shows is one of the easiest and most passive solutions if you are looking for tips to entertain indoor cats. You can find plenty of clips made specifically for cats on YouTube that will pique my curiosity. 

Clips and graphics of squiggly worms, mice, and bugs are like Casablanca for me, and nature noises and bird whistling are like the best of The Beatles. You get the point.

3. Give Window Views with a Catio

Still, as an indoor cat, I can’t help but long for the great outdoors. So giving me panoramic window views is one of the best tips to entertain indoor cats. 

I would love a comfortable perch near the window for a front-row seat to the world outside and all the bird activity (yum…), passing wildlife and changing scenery. Plus, it lets me warm my fluff and take in the sun. 

Still, a window perch only offers a fraction of the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Getting me a catio or an outdoor enclosure is an enriching gift that offers the greatest benefits to my quality of life. Plus, we love vertical spaces, and these provide just that. 

The VistaGato is the perfect solution as a window-mounted catio that provides all the fresh air, sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors and access to pure, unfiltered sunshine from the safety of the indoors. It’s like taking a cat nap in the lap of luxury. 

A catio like the VistaGato is the best of both worlds and the purr-fect opportunity to engage with nature while protecting me from predators and traffic. To take things to the next level, please install a birdfeeder next to the window.

Getting a window box like the VistaGato will provide me with endless entertainment and enables me to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and fresh air of the outdoors from the safety of the inside. For us cats, it’s like a never-ending VR game.
