The content is an instructional video providing five different games and activities to entertain cats at home, including using cardboard boxes, food dispensing toys, fishing rod toys, scratching posts, and teaching cats to fetch a ball. The video aims to help cat owners keep their pets mentally and physically stimulated.
Playing with your cat is just as important as keeping it well fed and providing it with a comfortable bed to sleep in. As without fun, your friend could suffer from stress, anxiety or depression. It is also advisable to set a daily play schedule and always follow the same routine if you don't know how to play with your feline at home. In this video from Animal Expert, we suggest five games to keep it entertained. Let's get started. First, Use a cardboard box. Something as simple as an empty cardboard box can be one of the best games to entertain your cat at home. For him, it holds endless possibilities. You can leave it within reach so he can decide when to go in and play, or leave toys and treats inside to get his attention and help him associate the box with positive stimuli. If you want to make the game even more fun for your friend, use several boxes and create a maze with them. How very easy by creating different openings and joining the boxes together. That way the cat can go in and out. Don't forget to distribute several treats and toys to guide him through this homemade maze. There are also other games with boxes for cats if you want to learn about another one. Here above and in the information box, we have left you a video in which we explain how to make a toy for cats with boxes. 2. With the perfect toy the famous with is a food dispensing toy that is ideal for entertaining our animals when we are at home or when they are alone. It is very effective for treating separation anxiety which is why it is highly recommended to provide one for our friend. To start the game, all you need to do is put food or treats inside, pressing on it lightly so that it is difficult for them to get it. This way we will keep them entertained for a while since they will have to figure out how to get what is inside.

Hunt the prey Cats are hunters by nature so we must meet this need if we want to prevent them from chasing prey on their own. On the market you can find so called fishing rods for cats. They come in different colors and shapes with feathers, toy mice and other animals that act as prey and capture the feline's attention. Get one for your furry friend and have a good time moving the rod and making it chase it. Remember to let it catch the prey from time to time so as not to frustrate it. If you don't have this toy at home, you can make it with recycled materials here, here, above and in the description box we leave you a video with three homemade toys for cats, including a fishing rod, four scratching posts with multiple floors and toys. We all know that cats love to file their nails and what better way to do it than with a scratching post which also provides them with fun. We can offer them the traditional scratching post with a single blade to file their nails or get one that has more than one level, that has a small house or even feathers as prey and other toys that entertain the cat. If you still don't have a scratching post for your cat and you would like to make it yourself with recycled materials, we explain how to do it in this video above. We also leave you the direct link in the video description. 5. Fetch the ball Fetching and bringing the ball is not just for dogs. Cats also enjoy this game. We show you the four steps you must follow to teach this game. 1. Find the ball that your friend likes the most and throw it so that he goes to fetch it. 2. At the same time say fetch so that he associates the act of fetching with the command and reward him when he gets it. 3. Once you achieve this, you can move on to teaching him to fetch the toy. To do this, call him when he has the ball in his mouth and when he approaches you, gently remove the toy. Give him a treat so he understands that when you give it to him he receives a reward. 4. Finally and little by little, teach him the command to release the toy and practice until he does it on his own. What do you think of these ideas?
