How much exercise does a cat need?

An hour of daily exercise will benefit your cat's health if they are active. If not, a cat's playtime can range from twenty to thirty minutes.   

One thing to note before playing with your cats is that they won't play with you all the time. They will be active for ten minutes, then rest up a bit, then for another five minutes. Therefore, it's better to distribute their playtime in small segments of five to fifteen minutes.

Is exercise good for cats?

Though cats are lazy in general, giving exercise to a cat is very crucial for their overall health and weight. Your cat can experience obesity if they don't exercise on a regular basis.

Can you walk a cat?

Yes, you can take your cat out for a walk but make sure they are wearing a leash and a harness.

Do cats like to walk on a leash?

Well, this depends on how you train them with a leash. If it's your cat's first time walking with a leash, your pet might be upset about it.

So, it's better to leash-train them at home before taking them outdoors.

Cat exercise doesn't only include walks, jumps, or chasing; it also involves developing the senses of smell and using their brain for some activity. Hence, hiding treats is the best way for your cat to develop their sense of smell.
