ENRICHMENT IDEAS FOR YOUR CAT

Cats are amazing, intelligent creatures. Their lifestyle reflects the predatory skills and behaviors needed to hunt food in the wild. A cat’s day includes the need to rest, stalk, chase, pounce, kill, play, eat, and groom among other things. When we don’t provide them opportunities to do these things, they get bored. Boredom can lead to a variety of problems such as destructive behaviors, aggression, anxiety, and more. We all want our cats to be living their best lives!

What Is Enrichment?
Cats must have opportunities to express their natural behaviors. An enriched environment should provide various types of scratching surfaces, outlets for predatory and prey behavior, safe places, and should respect all five of your cat’s senses which provides an environment in which an animal has variety, choice, and control over their daily activities.

Benefits of Enrichment?
-Provides needed mental and physical stimulation
-Decreases stress and boredom
-Decreases unwanted behaviors
-Improves overall quality of life

How Do You Provide Enrichment for Your Cat?
Food Based Enrichment
Food puzzles help to slow down eating, prevent boredom and obesity, and allow cats to eat more instinctively by allowing them to forage and “hunt” for their food. There are various food dispensing toys for cats that you can purchase, and you can even make your own. Start with an easy puzzle and work up to more difficult puzzles based on your individual cat’s preference.
Lunch paper bag/paper bag: put catnip, catnip covered toy mice, or treats inside. They can explore, pounce, and kill (destroy the bag) It’s a great hiding space and a fun toy all at the same time.
Paper towel roll puzzle toys: cut paper towel roll in half, fold in ends and cut a few small to large holes, place in treats. As cats begin to use these more, cut smaller holes to make it more fun for the cats!
Water bottles puzzle toys: Take empty water bottles, remove wrapper, cut a few small to large holes, can leave lid on or off for increasing difficulty for the puzzle toys

Sensory Enrichment
Scent signals are an important part of cat communication and exploration. Cats exposed to new odors are more active and exploratory. Catnip, silvervine, cat grasses, safe houseplants, toys with owner's scent, and pheromones such as Feliway all help encourage exploration and play. Placing a small amount of a scent in paper ball toys, boxes, bags, etc. can provide sensory enrichment.

Visual: A few examples of visual enrichment include interactive cat toys, birdfeeders, cat videos on YouTube, blowing bubbles, and pinwheels. Remember, when playing these videos or letting your kitty watch birds only do so for short periods of time to avoid your cat from becoming frustrated.
Auditory: This can include reading a story to cats, playing bird and nature sounds, and playing music made specifically for cats. (Through a cat’s ear, iCalmCat).
Taste: Offer a variety of different flavored and textured treats
Touch: Many animals respond positively to things like petting and brushing. Along with the touch comes social interaction, which ensures that these social animals receive the attention they need. Make sure to identify the kind of touch the cat appreciates.

Environmental Enrichment
Provide a variety of horizontal and vertical perches and hiding places. Cats will enjoy things like window perches, cat trees, and cat-friendly shelving. Incorporating safe hiding areas is also crucial and allows the cats to get away if needed. Hiding places can be cardboard boxes, tunnels, and paper bags. Cats also need to scratch, so provide various types of scratching surfaces. Scratching posts should be steady and a minimum of three feet to allow them to fully extend their body when scratching.

Social Interactions
All companion animals, including cats, benefit from positive, consistent interactions with their humans. Cats will experience less stress when allowed to choose whether or not to interact with you, rather than having interactions forced upon them. If the cat appears relaxed and wants to interact, it's best to focus petting around the head and cheeks. When your cat moves away, don't force further contact by following your cat or picking them up. Brushing and petting your cats before bed is a good example of how to provide them with positive, consistent, and predictable social interactions.

Outdoor Time
You can give your cat some safe time outdoors by building an outdoor enclosure (often called a catio) and/or walking your cat. Cats can be harness trained or can enjoy walks in a cat stroller.

Train Your Cat
Another form of enrichment can be clicker training your cat. Cats are intelligent and clicker training is a great way to mentally stimulate your cat and teach them new tricks!

There are many benefits to clicker training your cat, it boosts your cat's confidence, encourages creativity and initiative, and helps strengthen the bond between you and your cat.

There is a common misconception that cats cannot be trained and if they can be trained, it is a lot more difficult than dogs. Both of those statements are false. When owners feel that their cats cannot be trained, they also believe cats behavioral problems cannot be resolved. This can often result in fatal consequences for cats; including euthanasia and relinquishment.

Cats can be taught everything including foundation behaviors (targeting, attention), positive husbandry behaviors (nail trims, brushing, and handling), and fun tricks (roll over, high five). Training can also be very effective in stopping and replacing unwanted behaviors.
Lastly, the types of enrichment you can offer your cat is only limited by your imagination so have fun with it!

WHY DO CATS CHASE LASERS?

All cat parents are familiar with the eternal struggle between cat and laser pointer. For something so small and scentless, that little red dot sure can keep cats busy—in spite of (or perhaps because of) the fact that they never really can catch it. Interestingly though, there’s some debate about whether or not laser pointers are a great toy for our feline friends. So why do cats chase lasers, and is it time to ditch the laser in favor of a different type of toy?

The Allure of the Laser
Lasers are inherently stimulating to cats because of what they represent: fast-moving prey. Just because your cat doesn’t have to work hard for its food (unless you count all the effort it takes to meow all morning until you fill up its bowl), doesn’t mean that it’s not hardwired for the job.

As the dot of a laser darts around the room, your cat interprets it as a small animal trying to run and hide. As such, certain inherent feline behaviours come out, notably the innate desire to hunt, pounce, and kill the prey in question. The fact that it’s merely a projection doesn’t matter very much because your cat is operating on auto-pilot, not on intellect.

How Cats See Lasers
There’s another factor at play here too when your cat chases a laser, and that’s the fact that it simply looks appealing. To understand why, it helps to have a base understanding of how your cats’ eyes operate and how they differ from human eyes.

The retina is one of the main structures of the eye. It is composed of two key types of cells: rods and cones. Rods deal with low light vision and detecting movement, while cones help the eye see color. Human eyes have more cones than rods, which means we see the world with a lot of vibrancy. Cats, on the other hand, have more rods than cones, making them experts at picking up even the slightest of movements.

What does this have to do with lasers? It means that they’re pretty hard to ignore. The moment you turn a laser point on your cat is going to pick it up in its peripheral vision, and if it hasn’t quite figured out yet that it can’t actually eat that red dot (or if it knows it can’t but doesn’t care) then that’s all it will take to start its predatory cycle.

The Debate Over Cats and Lasers
It might be surprising to hear that there’s some controversy over whether it’s a good idea to tempt your cat with lasers, but the cat-laser debate is one that has been going on for some time.

The main problem noted by cat enthusiasts who are anti-laser is that having your cat chase a laser is a form of teasing. Remember, your cat is stalking and pouncing on that red dot because its brain is telling it to catch the food and kill it. The cat’s not doing it distinctly as a form of play, even if it’s having fun.

The laser is an unattainable target, and no matter how great your cat’s hunting skills are it’s never going to get to eat it and it’s never going to finish out its predatory cycle. Many cats figure out the ruse and stop interacting with the laser. Others find it immensely frustrating and may start behaving badly as a result. Frustrated cats act out in less than ideal ways, such as by becoming destructive or aggressive. If you notice a connection between playing with your cat and a laser and bad behavior, it’s probably time to put the pointer away for good.

To help make laser pointers more of a game and less of a tease, give your cat a treat or a physical toy right when you're finished playing. That way it’ll get the satisfaction of a “kill,” even if it’s not of the laser itself.

Laser Pointer Safety Tips
Provided that your cat seems to actually enjoy chasing a laser and isn’t just caught in an endless loop of hunt-pounce-disappointment, there’s probably nothing to be worried about. Chasing a laser is a fantastic way for your cat to get some physical and mental exercise, and also lets it tap into its kitty instincts for a bit—something that indoor cats don’t get to do quite as often as they might like to.

Of course, you should still make sure to follow proper safety tips to avoid harming your cat during play. Here are two big ones to note.

Don’t shine the light directly in your cat’s eyes. Even toy lasers emit an incredibly bright light, so you mustn't shine it directly at your cat (or yourself!). If you do, you could cause vision problems and/or eye injuries.

Provide your cat with plenty of other toys. If the laser is your cat’s only outlet for play, it’s more likely that frustration will start to build up. Make sure that it has access to a lot of other objects for hunting and playing with, including catnip toys and wands.

HUKUM JUAL-BELI KUCING PELIHARAAN

Sebelum menjawab apa hukum jual beli kucing, pada dasarnya setiap jual-beli hukumnya adalah Harus. Allah SWT berfirman:

وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا

“…padahal Allah telah menghalalkan (segala jenis) jual-beli dan mengharamkan (segala jenis) riba…” Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 275.

Sebagaimana dikatakan Imam Syafi’i dalam kitabnya, Al-Umm, segala bentuk jual-beli yang mana kedua pihak saling redha terhadapnya adalah boleh dilakukan, kecuali jual-beli yang ditetapkan di dalam syariat tentang keharamannya. Misalnya, jual-beli yang mengandungi riba dan hal-hal yang diharamkan lainnya yang dilarang Rasulullah Saw.

Secara umum, jual-beli dalam Mazhab Syafi’i didefinisikan dengan; sebuah transaksi tukar-menukar harta dengan harta yang menyebabkan beralihnya hak milik harta tersebut.

Secara khususnya, rukun jual beli ada tiga: pelaku (penjual dan pembeli); sighat akad (ijab dan qabul); dan objek jual beli (barang dan harga). Masing-masing rukun tersebut memiliki syarat-syarat yang ditentukan syara’ yang telah dirumuskan oleh para fukaha.

Fokus kepada objek jual beli, diantara syaratnya adalah harus suci dan juga memiliki manfaat. Ini adalah kerana apabila barang tersebut tidak bermanfaat, ia tidak dinamakan sebagai “harta”. Oleh kerana itu, hukum jual-beli haiwan yang suci dan dapat dimanfaatkan adalah boleh.

Bentuk kemanfaatan haiwan itu bermacam-macam. Boleh dengan memakan dagingnya, memerah susu, menunggangi, sebagai haiwan penjaga, termasuk juga keindahan suaranya, bentuk dan warnanya, yang dapat menghibur dan membuat senang pemiliknya.

Hal-hal seperti ini termasuk kepada perkara tahsini yang diperbolehkan. Dengannya, manusia dapat merasakan nikmat-nikmat yang Allah SWT berikan, serta mentadabburi ayat-ayat kauniyah-Nya kerana telah menciptakan makhluk-makhluk yang indah.

Allah SWT berfirman:

وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
“dan (Dia telah menciptakan) kuda, baghal, dan keldai, untuk kamu tunggangi dan (menjadi) perhiasan. Allah menciptakan apa yang tidak kamu ketahui.”

Imam Ar-Rafi’i dalam Fath Al-’Aziz mengklasifikasikan haiwan yang suci ke dalam dua jenis; haiwan suci yang dapat dimanfaatkan (termasuk manfaat keindahan suara dan warnanya), dan yang tidak dapat dimanfaatkan. Haiwan kriteria pertama boleh diperjualbelikan, sedangkan haiwan kriteria kedua tidak.

Adapun kucing peliharaan, telah mencukupi kriteria-kriteria haiwan yang boleh untuk diperjualbelikan. Di antara kriteria itu adalah suci dan bermanfaat, dan kucing adalah haiwan yang suci dan bermanfaat. Di antara bentuk manfaat tersebut adalah keindahannya yang membuat pemiliknya senang dan terhibur, boleh menangkap tikus dan binatang-binatang kecil lainnya.

Pendapat mengenai bolehnya jual-beli kucing peliharaan ini adalah pendapat majoriti ulama, termasuk Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Syafi’i, dan Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal.

Meskipun begitu, ada kalangan ulama yang memakruhkan jual beli kucing, berdasarkan hadis berikut:

عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا، عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَالسِّنَّوْرِ؟ قَالَ: «زَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»

Dari Abu Zubair dia berkata, ‘saya bertanya kepada Jabir mengenai wang hasil usaha jual-beli anjing dan kucing, dia menjawab: “nabi Saw. melarang perbuatan seperti itu.”’ H.R. Muslim

Ulasan yang dikemukakan ulama yang melarang jual-beli kucing ini kemudian dibantah oleh Jumhur ulama, bahawasanya kucing yang dimaksudkan dalam hadis tersebut adalah kucing liar, kerana tidak memiliki manfaat.

Ada juga yang berpendapat bahwa kucing yang dilarang untuk diperjualbelikan dalam hadis tersebut adalah kucing yang bukan milik penjual, atau kucing yang tidak ada manfaatnya bagi pembeli.

Berdasarkan huraian di atas, jual-beli kucing peliharaan hukumnya Harus, sebagaimana pendapat Jumhur Ulama. Akan tetapi, sekiranya pemilik kucing rela memberikan kucing peliharaannya kepada orang lain secara percuma, hal tersebut adalah lebih baik, agar keluar dari perbezaan pendapat ulama yang melarang jual-beli kucing. Wallahu a’lam.

RAGDOLL

If you’re looking for a large, affectionate cat that can go with the flow, look no further than the Ragdoll cat. These cats simply go limp with pleasure when they’re being petted, giving them their name. This cat breed is one of the largest out there, but don’t let that intimidate you. Their big blue eyes and loud, throaty purr let you know that these cats are just big softies. This cat is notoriously social, making them a good fit for bustling homes with plenty of activity.

This cat is very new compared to many other breeds. The Ragdoll cat breed was created in California in the 1960s. A cat breeder named Ann Baker wanted to create a beautiful cat with a loving personality. Ann started using domestic medium-haired cats of unknown origin. Josephine, the original mother cat of the breed, was white. Though it took a few generations, Baker eventually produced the first cats that were called Ragdolls. These cats were appreciated for their non-matting fur, large size, and outgoing personality.

The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) began registering Ragdolls in 1993. Today, Ragdolls are the fifth most popular cat breed registered by the CFA.

The Ragdoll has a silky single coat (meaning that it doesn’t have an under layer of fur). It’s meant to be lower-matting than other medium-haired cat coats. That said, this breed still requires brushing at least twice a week to help avoid matting.

Ragdolls are also energetic, social cats. They need regular playtime using wand toys or other interactive cat toys. Most also benefit from being fed out of a feline puzzle feeder. Don’t just leave toys around for your kitty, get up and play with her! This will help keep your cat’s weight down, avoid behavior concerns caused by boredom, and build bonds within the family.

11 THINGS ONLY CAT OWNERS UNDERSTAND

Kitties have many characteristics that we all know and (mostly) love: They're cute, they're cuddly and they're incredibly judgmental, just like your best girlfriend.

But there are also things about cats that only cat owners can truly understand. Some of those things are totally gush-worthy and some of those things are totally disgusting (hello, your cat could be p**ping in a box somewhere in your house this very moment). Together, these things make up the joy that is cat ownership.

NUMBER 1 : You're Never Not Covered in Cat Hair
Trying to keep your clothing free of cat hair isn't worth the effort anymore. After so many attempts at lint rolling, purchasing special vacuum attachments and avoiding dark-colored clothing, you just stopped caring. And, anyway, when your clothes are covered in your cat's hair, it's kind of like taking your kitty with you wherever you go, which is kind of sweet ... right?

NUMBER 2 : You Stopped Putting Any Item on Any Surface
If the internet has taught us anything, it's that cats will knock literally any item off of literally any surface. Want to set up a stylish vignette on your coffee table? Nope, your cat will squash every one of your interior decorating dreams. Putting some fresh flowers on the kitchen counter? Think again. Left your iPhone perilously close to the counter's edge? Hhmmm.

NUMBER 3 : You're Unfazed by Cat Butt in Your Face
There's no other way to say it: Cat owners get up close and personal with their cats' butts often. Despite being a little bit gross, it's actually a good thing if your cat sticks her butt in your face. In fact, it means she likes you!

NUMBER 4 : You Have to Hide Toilet Paper From Your Cat
Whether you buy the bargain brand or invest in the cushiest toilet paper out there, if you want to avoid being stranded on the toilet without toilet paper, you know it's vital to hide your toilet paper from your cat. Ponder this: Do you think he knows what he's doing and just likes to watch you struggle?

NUMBER 5 : Cats Sleep Constantly ... Except Between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.
It seems like cats are snoozing in a sunny spot on the floor constantly. When aren't they snoozing in a sunny spot on the floor? Approximately one to three hours before your alarm clock is supposed to go off. That's when she likes to get her daily exercise, scratch at the walls and climb on your face.

NUMBER 6 : You Forget Your Cat Is Literally Pooping in a Box Somewhere in Your House
We humans would never think about p**ping in a litter box (unless the situation was very, very dire). But it's totally acceptable for your cat to p**p in a box somewhere in your house ... and leave it for you to clean up. And maybe even track some litter around the room, for good measure. Think about it.

NUMBER 7 : Your Cat Loves Cardboard Boxes More Than His Expensive Bed
You spent such a long time choosing the perfect bed for your cat. You read thousands of reviews, chose organic cotton that wouldn't irritate his skin and maybe even added some kitty-sized throw pillows, so he'd feel a little extra comfy and stylish. But whenever a Shopee/Lazada shipment arrives, your cat makes it very clear that a lowly cardboard box is like, one thousand times better than the bed you worked so hard to pick out.

NUMBER 8 : Your Cat Eats Better Food Than You
You'll eat whatever mass produced, conventional food that's on sale at the grocery store. Your cat only eats the highest caliber, gluten-free, non-GMO, organic, raw food sold at your town's farmer's market. And sometimes throws it up on the area rug to show his appreciation.

NUMBER 9 : You've Accepted That Your Cat Is Boss
Don't even bother pretending. In a cat house, we all know who's the boss. Hint: Her favorite pastimes include knocking items off of counters, sitting on your laptop when you're trying to work and meowing incessantly at things that aren't there.

NUMBER 10 : Cats Have No Sense of Personal Space
Cats put their butts in people's faces to show them they like them. They give you zero personal space to show you they love you, but also to remind you that they're in charge.

NUMBER 11 : You Never Know If Your Cat Wants to Cuddle You ... or Bite You
There's nothing better than cuddling on the couch with your kitty ... until you make a single wrong movement, she freaks out, bites you and skitters into another room.
