Cats are known to be artists in the field of laziness, their favorite being snoozing in the afternoon sun. However, despite their image of immobility, they need to stretch and move on a regular basis.
Unlike dogs who are supposed to have long, slow-paced exercises, cats prefer short, frequent periods of intense activity. You can, therefore, entice your cat into activity by: providing your cat with things to bat; giving it things to chase like some strings; empty boxes have proved to be great for enticing them to explore; giving it things to scratch allows it to stretch and tone the muscles and at the same time, save your sofa from the same activity.
However, whatever you offer your cat to play with, do not offer your hand or fingers as bait, for this encourages the cat to scratch and bite your hands.
