Cat Boredom Solutions — Engage the Brain, Calm the Body

Beat the zoomies and curtain climbs with enrichment that taps real feline instincts. Curated by Canine & Co for South African homes, this collection pairs interactive play, foraging & puzzle feeding, and low-arousal calm tools to keep indoor cats mentally satisfied and happily tired.

What you’ll find

• Wands & teasers: Feather and ribbon lures that mimic stalk–chase–pounce.
• Puzzle & treat toys: Sliders, rollers and slow bowls that turn meals into brain work.
• Foraging mats & tunnels: Nose-and-paw searches and hide routes for confident play.
• Kickers & plush: Catnip/silvervine options for satisfying bunny-kicks.
• Motion & electronic: Auto-tease toys for short, independent bursts.
• Scratch & climb: Posts, loungers and shelves to channel energy and protect furniture.
• Lick mats: Calm-focus activities for wind-downs after play.

Pick by need

• Evening zoomies: 5–10 min wand session → puzzle feeder or lick mat → lights low.
• Solo time: Track toys, motion balls and snuffle/foraging setups.
• High-energy hunters: Rotate wand play with kickers and level-up puzzles.
• Shy/new cats: Start with tunnels, soft plush and silvervine to build confidence.
• Weight management: Load puzzles with part of the daily ration; reduce bowl portions accordingly.

Simple daily routine

• Run 2–3 short play sessions (5–10 min) and finish with a small treat to “complete the hunt”.
• Rotate 4–6 toys through the week; store the rest to keep novelty high.
• Use puzzles/foraging with part of the daily food to add enrichment without extra calories.
• Add a scratch + climb station near favourite hangouts to redirect energy.

Safety & care

• Supervise wand/electronic toys; store wands between sessions to protect curious paws.
• Check toys for loose parts; replace when worn.
• Rinse puzzles after wet foods; air-dry thoroughly.
