Keeping Cats Content  

This module deals with cats, their confinement and on how to provide your cat with a rich lifestyle.

Confining cats indoors is an important strategy for many of us but it's not always an easy task. Cats are curious creatures. They like to explore and to roam. They like to investigate and to play. They also like to sleep a lot!!

This is why confining cats means: 

• Providing them with an enclosure or environment that caters for the need to explore.
• Providing them with an environment that allows them to rest and sleep
• Providing them with an environment that is safe 
• Ensuring they have an environment that stimulates them and caters for their need to play.

It's not difficult to give cats a good lifestyle. Review the sheets that follow - but activate a membership first as many are in the member's section.
