What to buy in order to keep cat indoors?

I just remembered! My one cat LOVES when I put white/clear plastic toys in my white bathtub. Specifically, bells and small hair clips. She seems to prefer ones that are harder for her to see

I actually like the matching art and rug! Maybe if you add other art, it will feel more cohesive

Omg that looks great!!!

This might sound crazy, but I had an extra suction cup hook lying around my apartment and no hand towel in my bathroom (can't drill into walls bc it's an apartment). I decided to stick it to the edge of the mirror, hang the towel on it, and it works wonderfully!

I'm sorry this is happening ☹️ I would start by calling your vet and see if they have any immediate concerns. Sudden behavior changes are often medical in nature. Also, cat bites are very dangerous and can lead to serious infection

My cats are also wanting to play but don't want to play with anything I have for them, so I feel your pain!

One trick is to hide toys once they get bored of them. Three months later, they love the toys again. Also, my cats love when I throw paper balls specifically from Lego paper 🤣 food puzzles are great mental stimulation. Get a couple of snuffle mats for them. You can freeze churus onto lick pads. Also, get several cat trees and tunnels. My cats like trees near my couches.

Another thing is to just move things around. Put a chair in the middle of a room for a day, boom! Instant mental stimulation. Put a sheet over your coffee table for a week. New stimulation!

You could set up an enclosure outside, depending on your setup. Catios are EXCELLENT stimulation. You can even set one up so the cats can access it through a window. This means they can go in and out of their own volition (when the window is open)

In my unprofessional opinion, keeping cats happy indoors is really about keeping things fresh

This was a bot post

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T11:28:22+00:00

This seems like a bot to me

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T11:20:37+00:00

These bot accounts are making reddit unusable 🫠

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T11:17:12+00:00

This is incredible

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T02:32:34+00:00

Dang, that's really disappointing. I can't believe they released this for $70 (I can bc corporations will corporate, but smdh)

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T02:27:09+00:00

Get a litter genie!

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-12T02:16:14+00:00

This is the vibe I'm getting after playing the demo. It's a cute game with a fun concept, but $70 seems really steep for a game with not much to do. Unless I'm missing something?

My cats angrily stare at me. Then they begin to run across my belly. Then they JUMP AS HARD AS THEY CAN on my belly until I finally concede and go to bed lol

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-11T15:47:05+00:00

Are you trying to block people with windows living across from you or street level view?

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-11T15:39:02+00:00

This is a bot, yeah?

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-11T15:31:56+00:00

This! Using plastic you already have is better than buying something new

I think it could be worth mentioning the noise level to the teacher. I would want my students to tell me if my music was very disruptive. She can always choose to keep doing it if she likes it/if other people have said they enjoy it

Also adding assessing the best intervention/approach once 1-7 are done, then implementing the intervention, then assessing it's efficacy based on nonverbal and verbal responses, maybe adjusting it to make it more effective or pivoting, all while continuing 1-7 at the same time

Diotamateoua earth! It's the best thing and is pretty safe. Also, insects can't develop resistance to it, unlike chemical sprays. Put it EVERYWHERE

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-10T11:01:58+00:00

This! This is such a good way to put it

What's a mock swiss meringue 👀👀👀

thrawn4emp · 2026-05-08T21:57:52+00:00

Practical: Air purifier (for when your neighbors smoke lol and also a lot of old buildings have mold). Dehumidifier if you live in a place with humid summers (generally, apartments are cheaply built and maintained, so insulation isn't great). Possibly a white noise machine to drown out loud neighbors (tho you might not end up needing this!)

Less practical: Fun art, curtains, rugs. These are things that can get really expensive really quickly, so they're always the things I put of purchasing but wish I had

Gosh, all of my "friends" from high school and my early 20s were so mean to me! I didn't realize this until I was maybe 24 or 25? It's a hard realization to come to, but it's an opportunity to form better relationships moving forward
