Toys and games to help your kitten exercise Playing kitten “peek-a-boo” or “hide and seek” will be fun for your kitten and a delight for you. Simple things like paper bags and boxes allow hiding behavior as well as isolation. So now how do you interact and play with your kitten? Start by providing environmental enrichment like climbing and hiding places. The right environment for your kitten to exercise Stop playing and give the kitten a chance to unwind. If your kitten gets too excited, it is time to call a time out. Remember at those moments, in your kitten’s mind, you become the aggressor or the prey. Rough play among kittens is a natural behavior, but you should never interact roughly. So how can you enjoy and participate in their play without causing problems? The first step is to avoid play that could cause aggression. As a rule domestic cats also prefer to be left alone much of the time. It is also important to remember that with the exception of lions, big cats are primarily isolated animals. Normal and desirable kitten play should focus on their natural desires to climb and hunt. A simple rule is that claws and teeth are not appropriate interactions and when your kitten starts to scratch or chew on you, it is time to stop the play and find a new game at once. The key is to allow kittens to develop their instinctive behaviors, but not to encourage them to become aggressive toward people or other animals. Kittens that learn to play too rough often develop inappropriate behaviors that can impact their ability to fit into your home. Just as with children, excessive or inappropriate play can impact adult behavior. Train your kitten to exercise without being aggressive If you could watch a young lion or cheetah cub play, you would observe the exact same behaviors as they learn skills of survival in the wild. But most of the behaviors we enjoy watching are really evolutionary in their development. All the running, jumping, climbing and chasing are enough to tire us out-just by watching. When you watch your new kitten play, it seems like no stimulation is needed at all.
