Cats are more independent. But if they're used to people, they can get stressed on their own. The lack of play and activity also leads to anxiety – they meow too much, scratch doors, pee outside the sandbox and become aggressive. To keep them well, offer toys when you go out. Rotate: every two or three days, change the toys. Pussies also like cardboard boxes and climbing on their own shelves.
