Any cat owner knows that it is impossible to train a cat and make them lose their natural instincts. They will play with you and give you affection when it suits them; they cannot be controlled. However, unfortunately they can be dulled down, which is why it is important to build up their inner wildcat foundation so that they can remain wild at heart.
Some cats are forced to become indoor cats and this can happen for any number of reasons. Sometimes it is as simple as living next to or near a busy road. Sometimes it is due to Feline AIDS or some other condition. Whatever the reason, it is important that these cats have the opportunity to run wild and behave like normal cats, despite their restrictions.
Although it can be an annoying habit, when cats stretch up and claw at your favourite piece of furniture they are doing more than simply sharpening their claws. They are also stretching and strengthening their muscles and marking their territory. It is important to give cats as much space and opportunity to do this, usually in the form of cat trees.
For cats that have no outside access, it is important to give them as much natural sunlight as possible. They will still seek out dark and quiet areas to relax in, but it is good for their health to have sunshine when they need it, even if this has to be from a window or sunlight. Quite often they will choose to sit at the window and look outside.
Outdoor cats have the freedom to do what they want when they want so it is much easier for them to return to their inner wildcat, but there are things you can do to encourage it. Gardens with tall trees, forest areas and plenty of wildlife are a cat's paradise. They can explore, climb, hunt and enjoy their freedom each day, without needing to travel too far to find it.
Embracing your cat's nature in this way has one drawback that a lot of people find uncomfortable. Cats hunt and they will happily hunt absolutely anything that moves. No bird, mouse, rat or even insect is off limits and often they will bring their prey into the house to proudly show their owner. This is an unpleasant part of owning a cat, but it is completely natural.
Playing with them is an essential part of unleashing their inner wildcat. You don't need any expensive equipment for this and can use bits of threads, small balls or even a laser pen. Playing with them before you feed them is a good way to establish the hunt and kill instincts in them, as this is how they behave in the wild.
A happy cat is one that is free to sleep, eat, hunt and explore whenever they want to. As they grow older they become much more lazy and predictable, but cats always have the desire for freedom. By tapping into their natural wild instincts you are giving them the freedom to behave exactly as they want to, whatever odd and unusual behaviour that might be.
