In the process of raising cats, we should not only give them a good environment, good food and supplies, but also care about their mental health. If a cat is not worried about the external living conditions, but has no owner's company and attention, then the cat is unhappy and may lead to mental health problems in the long run.
Cats communicate by grinding their claws, which can also maintain their claws. Therefore, in the environment where cats love to live, at least prepare a climbing frame and a little space nearby for cats. And train cats to learn to use climbing frames. If the cat has not learned to use the climbing frame, it has gone to the room to find other substitutes.
If you keep the cat indoors, you don't have to rush to find food, which will lead to boredom and obesity of the cat. The owner should train the cat to praise some small acrobatics and give the food a little reward. Throw out the reward and let your cat chase it. You can also consider putting a small amount of food in other places and let the cat find it by itself.
Creating some vertical spaces can make your cat happier. Cats like to jump high and then look down. At the same time, jumping can also keep cats active. High bass can achieve this goal. If two or more cats live in a narrow space, climbing frames and perches can provide more space for cats and reduce the pressure caused by limited space.

The location and hygiene of the litter box also have a great influence on the cat's psychology. The first reason why cats urinate everywhere is that the location and hygiene of cat litter pots are not satisfactory. Many cat behavior experts suggest that cats have their own litter boxes.
Although cats become less playful with age, games are still a good way to keep their mental health. Many cats can play with toys by themselves, but games that interact with their owners are very important for their mental health. Through the surprise attack, chasing and biting in the game, you can get rid of boredom and exercise. Don't give up the game for a cat that doesn't seem interested in playing. Owners can slowly find toys (feathers or laser pens) that they are interested in and play with cats.
In order to make your cat happy, you can set a bird feeder outside the window, and the cat can observe the birds through the glass. You can also put a small fish tank at home. These measures can stimulate cats eager to hunt.
In fact, a cat is like a child. It is not delicious food or good toys that can make it happy. What a cat really needs is the care and companionship of its owner, so spend some time with your cat. It needs you more than others.
