Playing is not just a cute thing your cat does; it is absolutely essential for their well being, too. Play gives your cat exercise, allowing them to stay at a healthy weight and to avoid obesity. Play also improves your cat’s agility and builds muscle, all good things for a healthy feline.
Not only that, playing provides mental stimulation for your pet. Play helps your kitty stay alert, avoid boredom and prevent cognitive decline. Play also reduces anxiety and stress in cats, improving their mental health.
Finally, play allows your cat to express their instinctive behaviors. Cats love to pounce and chase, after all, so finding toys that bring out that behavior is extra fun for them.

Recently, Target started selling an adorable new toy set for cats. The seven-piece collection retails for just $10 and includes a slew of fun for your feline friend. The sardine-themed set is whimsical and cutesy.
This would make a great gift for new cat parents or for restocking your cat’s toy collection. Or just because it is Tuesday and your cat deserves a new toy. I’m not judging. I’d do the same thing!
