Interactivity: Playing with your cat is half the fun! Wand toys and lasers can allow you to be more involved with your cat's play and encourage them to engage in their hunting drive. If you know you're going to be away from your pet for some time, it might be worth it to invest in a robotic or automatic toy. These can be set on times or can be activated by play to give your kitty extra engagement when you cannot.

But does it suggest that cats have actually learned to manipulate us? There are various methods of making life more enjoyable for people living with dementia, many of which help to manage feelings of stress, anxiety, and agitation.
