🎉 Playing is life – Why we cats need it so much (by Bobbel himself)
Hello you. I'm Bobbel.
Maybe you've seen me before—black as licorice, curious as a child, and full of energy. Today I'm going to tell you something very important about all of us who sneak through life on velvet paws:
We need playtime. Not someday. Not maybe. But every day.
And today I speak for all my purring friends out there.
Because no matter whether young or old, fluffy or smooth, brave or shy: we cats need play. It's not a luxury. It's part of what makes us alive.
🐾 Why playing is so important to us
1. Because it makes us happy.
When we hunt, romp, or discover a new challenge, our eyes light up. Our hearts beat faster. Our purrs become deep.
2. Because our body demands it.
Playing keeps us fit. It stretches our muscles, sharpens our reflexes—and prevents boredom-induced overeating (and a bulging belly).
3. Because our brain wants to play along.
Puzzles, sounds, hidden treats? Bring them on! We want to think, sniff, and discover. Because our brains love adventure, too.
🧶 How you can play with us
🎯 Short, intense hunts
Show us the red dot, the feather or the whizzing ribbon – and we become little hunters, elegant and full of energy.
🧩 Brain games and puzzles
Food balls, sliding boxes, or homemade intelligence games? Great! Turn our food into a treasure hunt.
🏰 Adventure areas for climbing and hiding
Scratching posts, boxes, ceiling caves – to you they're furniture, to us they're entire worlds.
🔄 Variety is everything!
We're not stupid, okay? We're smart.
If you always give us the same toy, we will eventually lose interest.
👉 Change our toys regularly.
👉 Hide it. Bring it out suddenly.
👉 And most importantly: play along too.
Your attention is the most beautiful toy in the world. 💛
🕒 How much play do we need?
Not as much as you might think.
10-20 minutes a day – but with full attention – makes a huge difference.
Make it a routine. Ideally, always at the same time. Because we cats love anticipation. And rituals.
💬 Bobbel's final words:
"If you want us to stay healthy, active, and balanced for a long time, then play with us. Daily. Playfully. With love."
We're not just pets. We're roommates, your friends, your soulmate. And play is our language.
