When the clocks “fall back” and the days grow shorter, our cats can feel the change more than we realize. From disrupted meal schedules to restless behavior, even subtle shifts in light and routine can throw them off. Learn how to help your feline friend adjust smoothly with simple tips for maintaining comfort, consistency, and calm through every seasonal twist.

As a devoted pet parent, you probably spend a lot of time making sure your cat is well-fed, comfortable and loved. You provide cozy beds, fresh water and plenty of petting sessions. But have you considered what's going on inside their minds? Beyond the purrs and cuddles, your feline friend is a finely tuned predator with instincts that go back thousands of years. While they may be lounging on your sofa, their minds are wired for the hunt, driven by an innate predatory sequence of locating, capturing, killing, preparing and eating their prey.

Ignoring these instincts can lead to a bored, stressed or even destructive cat. This is where enrichment comes in—a term that simply means providing mental and physical stimulation to keep your cat's brain engaged and their body active. Enrichment isn't just a luxury; it's a fundamental part of their well-being. It's about feeding their natural need to hunt, stalk and capture, and giving them an outlet for those powerful predator instincts, even for indoor cats who are well-fed and safe.
