Analyze Your Cat’s Mental Stimulation Level
Why Enrichment is a Medical Necessity
In the wild, a cat’s day is filled with the “Predatory Sequence”: Search, Stalk, Chase, Pounce, and Kill. When we bring them indoors, we remove these natural stressors, but the drive remains.
Without an outlet, this energy turns into “Maladaptive Behaviors”:
- Redirected Aggression: Attacks on your ankles as you walk by.
- Compulsive Behaviors: Excessive grooming or tail-chasing.
- Stress-Related Illness: Links have been found between low enrichment and feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC).
