Exercise and health - why activity is so important for your cat
Regular exercise is essential for your cat’s health and well-being. Whether climbing, hunting, or playing – every activity strengthens both body and mind.
The Benefits of Exercise for Your Cat
Maintaining a Healthy Weight
Excess weight in cats can lead to serious health issues such as diabetes, joint problems, and heart disease. Regular exercise helps maintain an ideal weight and prevents illnesses.
Strengthening Muscles and Joints
Active cats develop stronger muscles and stay more agile. Movement keeps joints flexible and can help prevent age-related issues.
Reducing Stress and Mental Stimulation
Cats that don’t get enough exercise or mental stimulation may experience stress and boredom. This can result in restlessness, excessive meowing, or destructive behavior. Physical activity and interactive play help keep your cat balanced and engaged.
Boosting the Immune System
Regular activity improves circulation, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and supports the immune system – helping your cat live a long and healthy life.
