Simple DIY Cat Enrichment Box: Keep Your Feline Friend Entertained with Household Items
Pet owners are constantly seeking innovative ways to keep their feline companions entertained and stimulated, especially those living indoors. A recent viral video from Dr. Elsey’s, a well-known pet product brand, offers a simple yet effective solution: a DIY cat enrichment box. The video demonstrates a six-step process to create an engaging play area using items commonly found around the house. First, gather supplies such as a shallow box, empty paper towel rolls, paper bags, scissors, and cat treats and toys. The next step involves cutting the paper towel rolls into smaller pieces and crumbling paper bag pieces, which are then placed into the shallow box. Following this, pet owners are advised to sprinkle their cat's favorite treats among the paper elements. The video specifically highlights Dr. Elsey’s Cleanprotein treats, noting their high protein content and simple, high-quality ingredients, making them suitable for interactive activities. Finally, cat toys are added to the mix. The video features a cat named Enzo, who is seen enthusiastically exploring the box, digging for treats, and playing with the hidden toys. This activity is designed to provide both mental and physical stimulation, helping to keep indoor cats engaged and active. The creator emphasizes that the entire setup takes only a few minutes to assemble, offering a convenient way to enhance a cat's daily routine.
