In summer, cats also enjoy spending time in the shade or relaxing on cool tiles. But indoor cats shouldn't completely forgo activity—even in the heat, they need variety and little stimuli.
😴 Understanding summer fatigue
Cats adapt to different temperatures, but too little exercise can quickly lead to boredom or obesity. Therefore, it's worth incorporating small games into your daily routine.
🧶 Activity ideas for hot days:
-
Treat search with treats of your choice (e.g. Relax Drops)
-
Scratching posts or elevated places at shady windows
-
Boxes with cloths or newspaper as a discovery box
-
Fridge game: Cool a treat briefly and hide it
💡 Tip: Inactive phases are normal – plan play times in the early morning or evening.
