Contrary to popular belief, indoor cats are actually quite high-maintenance. Without a lot of mental and physical enrichment, they become bored, depressed, and unhealthy.
In this episode, I chat with veterinarian Dr. Lynn Bahr about the importance of enrichment for indoor cats, and the benefits of outdoor adventures and exposure.
I feel like once cat owners start realizing that their cats are in four walls, and it really is boring, and it really is unenriched, that all it takes is just that little shift in mind set, and the opportunities just start exploding.
