Aren't cats suppose to run and play like their wild ancestors did. The key is to have lots of things for them occupied. I've got 5 of all ages so I need things for all of them. I've got condos, beds to hide under, outside time when we can. I let my critter on my furniture, so that's somethingelse for them to play on. I could have my husband tell you his story of trying to sleep on the couch. Seen the movie Gremlins? He said it was like all those Gremlins running around in the living room. Some jumping over him the full length of the couch, some not quite making it, but off they go again. He hasn't slept on the couch since1
