3 Tips, By Assisi, For Keeping Cats In Shape

By Robin Setser


It's easy to imagine that cats do not have much of an opportunity to get in shape. Seeing as how most cats are indoor creatures, they aren't able to get around and run to the degree that dogs can. Nonetheless, physical fitness is an important part of their existence and it can still be seen through various methods. In fact, here are 3 of the best ways to ensure that your cat is fit and, as a result, healthy in just about every sense of the word.

The initial point to look to, when it comes to your cat's overall fitness level, is the food being given. For those who do not know, cats mostly eat protein-rich foods, meaning that this should be taken into account. It's also worth noting calorie content and how certain products have this more than others. As long as you're able to find a balance where calories are more moderate, than anything else, your cat's shape will prove to be that much greater.

You may also keep you cat in better shape by simply focusing on what they like to do. For example, as nighttime starts to set in, you may see that your cat is more active, as he or she is jumping on top of high structures and playing around this type of environment. Try to craft your activities based on what your cat likes to do. In fact - and the next step will go into greater detail about this - playtime will be the best way to ensure that your pet remains in good shape.

It's easy to see that playtime is most important, and I'm sure that authorities such as Assisi would attest to this. Make sure that you set time aside for playtime, especially if your pet has a certain preference that cannot be overlooked. For example, if your cat prefers to play with you, then you may want to focus on using a feather-ended cat teaser. This is just one of the many toys that will keep your cat's attention, and it's ensured that it will be a favorite for some time to come.

As you can see, there are multiple attributes which play into how fit a cat might be. The food they eat can play a role, which goes without saying, but their amount of movement can be just as notable. In order to become a better cat owner, it's important to understand these and work around them. Once you're able to do this, you'll be happy to know that your cat's overall fitness level, and well-being in general, will increase in due time.
