Cat Supplies for Indoor Cats

Everything in here is picked for cats that live indoors full time, which is a different job from kitting out a cat that comes and goes as it likes. An indoor cat gets its exercise, its hunting and most of its stimulation from whatever happens to be inside four walls, so the gear has to carry more of the load.

The collection covers the four things that usually turn out to be missing: something to hunt, something that makes a meal take longer than ninety seconds, somewhere high to sit and watch the room from, and something that moves while nobody is home. Most households are well stocked on the first one and have nothing at all in the other three.

If you are not sure which one you are short of, the behaviour normally tells you. We went through how to read it, and what to do about each case, in our guide to cat toys for when you work long hours.
