And is boredom in cats even a thing?
He absolutely no trouble sleeping the whole day.
Does not even matter if he is outside or inside he will sleep through the apocalypse.
As long he has a few ours of activity every now and then he is absolutely fine.
Which usually means strolling around in the garden and playing with the neighbors cat or his humans.
If you have a cat and you have to leave it alone for days you should not have a cat. Half a day is usually totally fine
My cat does like to snuggle up at night in the couch or sneak into the bedroom. (To sleep under the bed).
It also depends on the age of the cat and the way they are raised of course. My cat is 16 years old now, and quite happily sleeps for most of the day in a sunny spot inside our home. Whilst she used to always like wandering around outside when she was younger.
or something like that idk
1) Move things from tables and shelves to floor
2) Chew on stuff
Finding non-destructive activities is a challenge, new toys work for a bit until they're not exciting anymore, then it's back to destroying things.
The fact that cats "don't get bored" is a huge misconception!
PetMD says "Our misunderstanding of cats as ‘low-maintenance’ pets has led to cats that are bored and stressed. This has resulted in an epidemic of feline obesity as well as stress-associated diseases”
Besides that, we are definitely targeting indoor cat owners. People who can't give their cat the luxury of an outdoor life. This is not for people who leave their cats alone for days, it's for people who leave their cats alone when they go to work. 8 hours alone is stressful for the indoor cat. So we built them Mew and Me!
Only thing I'd say is make sure that the screen you run it on can't be easily knocked over by a cat pouncing on it as they try to catch what's on screen.
Not sure how I'd feel about my cat continously jumping on my device though. Nevermind just letting it lie around the house for her to play with.
But that might have more to do with the behaviour of my cat! :P
Many of our users use old devices or screen protectors. Eventually, we'd like to be able to offer physical smart toys too!
