The 10-Minute Daily Play Routine That Makes Indoor Cats Calmer

Indoor cats thrive on predictable, short play sessions that mimic hunting.

Play like prey

Start slow (stalk), speed up (chase), then finish with a catch.

End with a reward

After the “catch,” give a small treat or meal to complete the hunt cycle.

Consistency wins

10 minutes daily can reduce midnight zoomies and boredom behavior.
