The reason why cats are playful is because they have a natural hunter instinct. In the wild, cats need to constantly train their bodies and skills to hunt food. Showmanship may be a way for cats to practice their hunting skills. In addition, cats may be playful to attract human attention or to get more play time.
Play is an important activity for cats that can help them maintain physical and mental health. If your cat often exhibits playful behavior, consider providing it with some suitable play props, such as jumping sticks, toy mice, etc., to help it practice its hunting skills and increase its play time. At the same time, be careful not to let your cat cause harm during play, for example, don’t let it scratch people or pets.
