Playing with your cat is the best possible way to build up a bond between the two of you. This makes your cat more attached to you.
Another way to ensure your cat stays healthy is by making sure you don’t overfeed him, and also make sure he has plenty of play time. If you have an indoor cat, then one way to get him to have some exercise is through play time.
Play time with your cat encourages them to become more confident. Encourage you cat with regular snuggle times, this will help your cat bond when visitors come around, instead of hiding away.
Playing will help your cat develop his hunting abilities. Their hunting skills are very important, and when a cat is confined indoors, they have little chance of developing and expressing these natural instincts. Encourage kitty to chase a toy mouse, allow him to pounce for the ‘kill’. This will aid him should he ever get lost and need to find food.
Your cat will be less agressive when you play with him. Cats often display aggressive traits through boredom. Teach you cat not to scratch, attack or bite you when you play. Use praise to reward your cat for playing gently, as soon as he shows any sign he is about to use his teeth or claws – end the play session. This will encourage your cat to only show aggressive play towards their toys, and not you!
Cats today also require some fun in their lives, just as much as you do. Try and relieve your cats boredom of sleeping, eating and using the kitty box with some play time fun and toy games. You can be guaranteed to have a much happier, more relaxed and less fiesty cat.
Games for cats can be undertaken both outside or inside . Consider cat enclosures outdoor for a safe and happy cat.

Cats and Their Sense of Smell
Even though your cat’s nose is tiny, are you aware that it has a highly developed and very keen sense of smell? This sense helps with feeding, social life, sexual behaviour and in the hunting of prey.

When did you last see a cat on a leash? If your answer is everything I think it will be, it’s understandable because most cats refuse this kind of “treatment”.
This is exactly why patience is the first crucial factor. It is obvious that the cat will not take such a suggestion without some kind of argument. Anyway, if we are talking about an apartment cat, we can say it is important for it to get used to the idea that it is not imperative that once out of the house something bad is going to happen.
Use your imagination and first build a surrounded space for your cat. And don’t forget that the cat would be really happy to climb something. High plants or low trees can be an attraction to your cat.
Buy a collar for the cat and try to get her used to it. It is important that it would be worn just around the house at first. The same thing needs to be done with the leash. After a few days, encourage her by walking short distances on the leash, tempting her with a toy or some food. Then get out of the house for short walks. Increase distance one day at a time. Pick quiet places and make sure she got used to the outside street noise.
If you really want to make her walk on a leash, then try to get her with you when you are going shopping or on longer walks.
In time you can make her accept routes with intense traffic, but it is important for her to feel safe and to understand that she can rely on you. And if she wants to run around a little, make sure the collar isn’t too rigid.
You can even place a bell on her collar to find her easier in case she escapes or hides behind a bush. It will stop her from hunting, but take the bright side of this suggestion. You can find your cat even if somehow she runs away or escapes from the collar.
