Exercise and your cat's health – why being active matters
Regular exercise is essential for your cat’s health and happiness. Whether they're climbing, hunting, or playing, every bit of activity strengthens both their body and mind.
Why your cat needs to move
Maintaining a Healthy WeightExcess weight in cats can lead to serious health problems like diabetes, joint issues, and heart disease. Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight and prevent illness.
Strengthening Muscles and JointsActive cats build stronger muscles and stay more agile. Movement keeps their joints flexible and can help prevent age-related problems.
Reducing Stress and Mental StimulationCats that don’t get enough exercise or mental stimulation can become stressed and bored. This might lead to restlessness, excessive meowing, or destructive behaviour. Physical activity and interactive play help keep your cat content and engaged.
Boosting the Immune SystemRegular activity improves circulation, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and supports the immune system – helping your cat live a long and healthy life.
