2. Play Without Toys
Molly DeVoss, CFTBS, CCBC, FFCT, CRM, is the founder of Cat Behavior Solutions and her cat Pico de Gato doesn't always need a toy to enjoy play. "My cat and I play hide-and-seek! He follows me around the house and when I go into another room, I look back at him, make eye contact, then dart behind the wall or door," DeVoss shares. "He always knows where I am, but he likes to jump out and 'get' me." To complete the predatory sequence, reward your avid hunter with a treat once he finds his prey—aka you!
