Cats love to play! Playful behavior is a fundamental activity for your well-being as it inhibits acute and chronic stress. The puppies start playing around two weeks. First, they start by playing alone trying to get rid of the shadows. This behavior, in addition to being very fun, allows them to develop their muscle coordination.
Playful behavior is still present throughout the cat’s life and is very important to him. Especially in cases where cats live alone (without the presence of other felines), the tutor has a fundamental role in promoting this healthy behavior for cats. Remember that you can never use your hands or feet to play with your cat, as this can stimulate its aggressive behavior. You should encourage the cat to use toys suitable for him.
