10 Ways to Keep Your Cat Entertained

There’s no need to waste money on expensive towers or cat toys when you’ve likely got dozens of things in your house already that will keep your cat entertained. Here are ten of them.

10. The Laundry Basket

Fill it up with fresh warm clothes (if you cat isn’t a big shedder, that is) and it will be kitty’s new favorite place on Earth. Bonus if you’ve got a collapsible mesh laundry basket that you can turn sideways  for her to crawl in.

9. Feathers

Just looking for info regarding 2 indoor males, 1 is 7 yrs old and one is 8 mos old.  Both sleep with me and my husband.  The younger incessantly kneeds me and sucks and licks my arm and sleeps in my lap.  In addition breaking things and stealing stuff and generally wrecking with my posessions.  The older male grooms the younger and then they ignore each other for the most part. The older cat still sleeps in my lap and in bed, but his behavior has changed.  Until I got the old cat (at 5 weeks) I had never had cats always had dogs, so raised the kitten as a dog.  Now with the younger cat I am have issues with both.  Can someone direct me in cat sociogolgy?????????
