Bringing home a kitten to Cary apartments means you will want to find ways to keep your new pet entertained. You do not want to avoid entertaining your kitten since it may result in damage to your furniture and belongings. By taking the time to find activities and toys for your new pet, you will capture your kitten's attention and avoid unnecessary problems with your cat's exploration of his or her new home.

Make a Fun Zone

A fun zone is a great way to keep your kitten entertained for hours without active participation from the pet owner or family members. Kittens enjoy climbing, exploring, and scratching as part of their play. By setting up a cat condo or a fun zone with plenty of places to climb and explore, your kitten will not get bored while you are not available to play. 

Keep in mind that you can add toys to the cat condo or cat tree for further entertainment. You are not limited to the basic structure, and you can make it a fun zone for your kitten.

Provide Cat Toys

Cat toys are ideal when playing with your kitten or giving your kitten something for his or her entertainment. Opt for toys that look like small birds or mice. You can even use small balls to keep your kitten entertained. You do not want to use your fingers or toes, since that may teach your kitten bad habits as he or she grows. 

Use toys that encourage your cat to pounce, jump, chase, or engage in instinctual behavior. The toys will entertain your kitten and allow you to play with your pet while avoiding accidental scratches and injuries.

Give Your Kitten a Food Puzzle

Food puzzles are a great way to keep your kitten entertained while you are at work or away from apartments in Cary. Your kitten will enjoy pushing the puzzle around and figuring out the method to get at the treat inside. It will also give your kitten special treats when you are away and cannot give your kitten a treat. 

The advantage of a puzzle is that it challenges your kitten and encourages him or her to think through the process to get the food out of the toy. You can also fill the puzzle with cat food rather than treats to avoid over-feeding your pet.

Kittens are curious and prone to exploration. That can mean your kitten will climb furniture and curtains while exploring your home. By setting up fun games, entertainment, and puzzles, you will keep your pet's attention. To learn more about entertaining a kitten in Cary, NC apartments or to see available rentals, contact us today.
