Most kittens like to play all the time. They go through a period of entertaining themselves. This can include chasing their tail, running after objects and patting objects. They may even knock a breakable item off of the table. As the kitten gets a bit older, they prefer to play with humans or other cats. Whether it’s chasing a ball or playing with a fishing pole toy, they enjoy this interactive time. As time goes on and the cat gets older, playtime usually decreases. My younger cat, Millie is now seven years old and only recently is her desire to play decreasing. My older cat Mollie is twelve and she doesn’t like to play at all.

Make sure that you have plenty of cat toys to keep your cat occupied. Exercise is important to a cat’s overall health.

Remember, your pets count!
