healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2020/11/24/cat-indoor-hunting-feeder.aspx Story at-a-glance A recent study suggests domestic cats do not engage in contrafreeloading behavior, meaning they choose not to work for food (e.g., from a food puzzle) if they have access to the same food for “free” Contrafreeloading is seen in many other species both wild and domestic, including dogs, mice, rats, monkeys and chimpanzees, so cats present an interesting exception within the research It’s important to note that cats will work for food if it’s their only option, so healthy indoor kitties should be offered a variety of ways to “hunt” for their meals to encourage physical activity and mental stimulation on a daily basis My notes: Cats need to 'hunt'. If people don't have an enclosure, this can be the next best thing. Do any of you have ideas to help your pet 'hunt'? @shaliza @catsmother @marti stluee @angie @lilac
