How to Avoid Destructive Cat Behavior: Turn Treat Time into Enrichment Play

How to Avoid Destructive Cat Behavior:

Turn Treat Time into Enrichment Play

Does your cat chew on plastic, claw at your sofa, or knock things off the table just for fun? Don’t worry, they’re not being “naughty.” These are signs of boredom and under-stimulation.

Cats are naturally curious hunters, and when their minds and bodies don’t get enough activity, they create their own entertainment, sometimes at the expense of your furniture!

The good news? You can easily prevent this by adding enrichment to their daily routine. Enrichment keeps your cat mentally sharp, physically active, and emotionally balanced, turning destructive habits into positive play.

Make Treat Time Enriching

Instead of handing treats over, make them part of a game! Enrichment toys encourage your cat to hunt, sniff, and problem-solve, mimicking their natural instincts. It’s a simple way to transform snack time into a fun and healthy challenge.
