What To Do With A Bored Mature Cat?
Hi,
Our 15 year old indoor male gets bored almost daily. He bugs me for favors just to have something to do (I'm almost always home). He lost any interest in cat toys we've tried - anything dragged, dangling, or rolling. What else can we try? Thanks, Gary

: Our 15 year old indoor male gets bored almost daily. He bugs me for favors just to have something to do (I'm almost always home). He lost any interest in cat toys we've tried - anything dragged, dangling, or rolling. What else can we try? This reminds me of a Monty Python routine. A guy in military dress and his squad drive up in full camouflage, and he raps out the command, "Confuse the ..... CAT!" But seriously, cats do get bored. Is he the only pet in the house? You might want to think about getting a kitten, one young enough not to be a threat. (But get opinions from others too -- I'm just guessing that he wouldn't attack the kitten.) -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai...

What To Do With A Bored Mature Cat?
Do you have a cat tree for him to climb and sleep on? How about
putting a bird or squirrel feeder outside of a window so he can entertain himself? Some cats enjoy "watching" Animal Planet or those cat DVDs (though it varies with each cats). Another question I had is are you sure he's just bored? Is this a new behavior? With his age, you might get a blood panel done. It's possible he has something like hyperthryoidism that's causing his restlessness.
