Cats need plenty of daily exercise to stay fit and healthy. Does your cat get enough? According to Canada’s Pet Wellness Report, veterinarians believe that 70 percent of their feline patients do not get enough exercise to maintain good health.

In the wild, cats stay fit and trim by climbing, running, and hunting prey – but when cats live indoors, their need for daily exercise must be met in different ways. Hunting is no longer necessary to survive, and opportunities to hunt prey are few and far between. Likewise, the activities of indoor cats are limited by the confined space inside the home, with very few areas to climb and run.
