When the weather turns grey, it’s not just us who can feel a little cooped up - cats can too, especially those who usually like a bit of outdoor time. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to keep them entertained and content indoors.
1. The Egg Box Puzzle
We love this simple enrichment idea. Pop treats or biscuits into the compartments of an egg box, add scrunched paper, then close the lid slightly. It’s a satisfying challenge that keeps cats curious and engaged.
2. Window Watching
Set up a cosy perch near a window so your cat can watch the world go by—birds, raindrops, and the occasional passer-by. Add a blanket for comfort, and you’ve created a feline cinema seat.
3. The Tea Towel Tunnel
Drape a tea towel or lightweight throw over a chair to create a small hideaway. Toss in a crinkle ball or toy, and let your cat decide whether it’s a playground or a cosy nap spot.
4. Interactive Play
Feather wands, laser pointers, and ribbon toys can turn a dull afternoon into a lively one. Short, regular play sessions are perfect for keeping them active without overstimulating.
If you’d like to refresh your cat’s toy collection, we now have a range of playful, quality toys available to order directly from our site. Browse our collection here: Cambridge Cat Sitting Company – Toys.
Rainy days can be an opportunity to slow down and connect - whether that’s with a gentle grooming session, a puzzle game, or simply curling up together.
