I currently have one cat. She has many toys, a cat tree, scratching posts, a window to watch from, and I play with her for atleast 10 mins each day. However, I find that she does get bored and hyper at times where she starts running around and chasin
It sounds like she’s a pretty normal, happy playful young cat. You can get her some self propelled or automatic toys to keep her interested and engaged such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07F391BX2/ref=psdcmw_2975306011_t2_B07D9J137D Orhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072WCZQ4V/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1543707973&sr=8-10-spons&keywords=cat+activated+toy&psc=1 It may also be helpful to rotate the toys in and out of use. Hide some toys away, bring in a couple new ones, then in a week or 2, bring out the old ones and put away the new ones. Getting a second cat MAY be helpful, but it also may rock the boat a little too much. If she seems overall content, I don’t think you should feel like you NEED to get a playmate, but it’s something to consider. If you DO decide to get another kitty, here’s an article about introducing them. Good luck!! https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-steps-to-introducing-your-cat-to-a-new-feline/

my cat keeps pouncing on my 4 year old son, she is aggresively playing with him and he used to be okay with it, but now he started to get annoyed , she does it so randomly and when he isnt paying attention.
It sounds like Snuggle has created her own game. I see that she is a kitten, so I would work on environmental enrichment for her to more appropriately get her energy out. This website has a number of good ideas for that. https://indoorpet.osu.edu/cats Remember that kittens are supposed to be practicing their hunting skills many times a day. My best recommendation would be to find ways for Snuggle to use her hunting skills without involving you or your soon. One of my favorite things for kittens is a no bowl feeding system like Doc & Phoebe ( https://docandphoebe.com/ ) that requires them to "hunt" for their food. You could also try a feeding ball. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-slimcat-cat-food-dispenser-in-blue I also recommend using laser pointers and interactive cat toys like a Cat Dancer ( http://www.catdancer.com/ ) to get kittens to play with you more appropriately. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using Boo

What do I do if my cat has Feline Hyperesthesia, and doesn't play much either? She is really bored most of the time and I don't have much toys for her to play with since the pet shops are far and my parents can't keep going there all the time plus I
There are a lot of toys that cats love that you can make at home: some cats will chase a crumpled ball of paper or a pom pom, you can tie a few feathers to a stick with some string, or you can put some crinkly plastic in something like a sock. Be sure that the toys are for supervised play only. Here is a link to some ideas: https://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/2014/03/the-10-best-homemade-cat-toys/

My cat doesn’t like me to hug her. She never sat on my knees. She likes to be stroke only when she is half asleep. That’s when she likes to be touched. I am bot sure, is that the nature of cats normally when they don’t like to be touched or what else
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Olive is a kitten do they are more active and reactive to touch (thinking it is play). But yes, that is normal cat behavior to touching. ALL cats do not like to be hugged and I would refrain from doing that because she may become aggressive or more reactive to you if you continue to do things she doesn't like. Only touch her where she likes being touched (head, neck) and stop when she shows signs of irritation (tail flicking, opening her mouth, ears twitch or turn back, turns to look at you). Give her treats during petting to teach her good things happen during this time. Games that kittens enjoy: laser pointers, toy mice to bat around, feathers on a long stick, cat trees, window ledges near bird feeders. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-toys/go-cat-teaser-cat-catcher-wand-cat-toy https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-toys/petstages-tower-of-tracks-cat-toy https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/prod

I have had this thing with my kitten/cat since I first adopted her where we would play "fight" by wrapping my hand with a blanket, and as soon as I do she becomes playful and attacks my wrapped palm. Do you recommend this fighting playful behaviour?
It might be best to shift her attention to a larger stuffed toy. You can play with her in a similar fashion, but your hand won't be directly in her grasp. The toy can be a little smaller or the same size as her, and can be a newer toy or a gently used one from a thrift store. Hold the toy by the back and wiggle it at her in a similar way as you likely do when playing with your hand and the blanket. She may respond by flopping on her side or back, you can then push it to her belly or paws and let her grab ob and kick or bite to her heart's content. This serves to give you just a little distance between your hand and her claws. It's best to not use your hands to play fight with her, just in case she gets too involved and hurts you accidentally.
