An active cat has more opportunities to move, explore, stretch, and satisfy its natural curiosity. Cats enjoy having room to jump, run, climb, stretch out, and investigate their surroundings. Physical movement and mental enrichment can add variety to a feline’s daily routine while giving them opportunities to use their natural agility and senses. A stimulating environment, freedom to move, and engaging activities can help make everyday life more interesting for indoor cats.
At Absolutely Precious Feline Boutique & Cattery™, our Exercise Programs are adapted to each feline’s individual needs, activity level, and goals. Whether the focus is encouraging movement, supporting an active routine, or adding variety to a cat’s day, we use positive methods such as games, treats, clicker training, and repetition. We encourage participation without forcing an activity, recognizing that every cat has its own pace, preferences, and time for play, rest, and sleep.
Cat Leash Walking – Leash walking can provide a new way for cats to explore their surroundings while adding movement to their routine. Learning to walk on a leash takes patience, consistency, and gradual training from both the trainer and the owner.
Exercise Wheel or Flat Treadmill – Exercise wheels and flat treadmills can provide opportunities for supervised movement once a cat has learned how to use them. With proper introduction and positive training, some cats become familiar with the equipment and choose to use it regularly. Rates may be based on time. Owner supervised: 1 hour = $35.00. Trainer supervised: 1 hour = $45.00. Exercise wheels may also be available for rental or purchase through the Feline Boutique Cattery.
Swimming – Some cats may enjoy water-based activities, while others may prefer to avoid them. Where offered, swimming is introduced gradually using warm water and a life vest with continuous supervision. The activity is never forced, and each feline’s individual response to water is respected.
Holding Your Cat – This session helps owners learn safe and appropriate ways to hold and handle their feline companion. Since not every cat enjoys being held, our trainers demonstrate handling techniques that can encourage better cooperation while respecting the cat’s comfort level and body language.
Backpacking With Your Cat – Backpack training can help a feline become familiar with riding in a secure pet backpack for walks, outings, or other supervised adventures. The process is introduced gradually so the cat can become accustomed to the carrier and movement at its own pace.
Outdoor Play – Time spent exploring a secure outdoor environment can provide cats with new sights, sounds, textures, and scents. Outdoor play can add both physical movement and mental stimulation to a feline’s routine while giving them an opportunity to investigate a different setting under supervision.
Each feline at our Boutique & Cattery is assigned a specific trainer to concentrate on the cats’ training & progress & to interact with the owner to help in the learning process. The training doesn’t stop once the cat leaves. The owner must follow the trainer’s recommended suggestions to make the owner’s cat stay on point with the requested behavior adjustments. Cats are difficult learners, and it is important for the trainer and the feline owner to work together for the best results.
