Hi everyone, I've been lurking this site for a while now, though I think this is my first post. I've seen lots of good advice given here, so I thought I'd ask...
My cat doesn't really show interest in playing. I have several interactive toys, including sticks with ribbons, bells, strings, feathers, felt... and I have a laser light. I can barely keep her interested in anything for more than 5 minutes or so. She will play on her own with her favorite little "mousies" on occasion but I can barely engage her in playing with me.
She begs me for attention when I'm on my computer, so I go and try to play with her and she isn't interested. I just get ignored. I swear I've bought her every variety of toy under the sun, but I just can't entice her. Does anyone else have this problem?
She's young, just over a year old. I know it sounds stupid, but could I be possibly "playing" with her the wrong way? I just don't know what to do! My main issues are that I want her to be intellectually stimulated and to get sufficient exercise. She's a lazy girl (like her mom,
) who likes to sleep most of the day.
Any advice?
