FCD or Feline Cognitive Dysfunction is a condition linked with age that can affect quite a number of cats. It is fortunate that keeping your cat active with mental and physical stimulation helps in delaying or even outright preventing the onset of FCD. Being overweight or obese is one other result of a cat living a sedentary lifestyle. Cats are natural hunters, therefore, they require activities that will stimulate them to display predatory behaviors. Frequent physical activities will maintain their alertness and will keep them active. In addition to postponing mental aging, keeping an active routine will benefit a pet cat in staving off health risks.
One good way in encouraging your cat to be on her toes is to hide several of her most liked treats about the house. The treats should be hidden in locations that are strategic enough so that your cat will be all-around your home, climbing and walking, all the while figuring out ways to locate the treats giving her mental exercise as well.
