Questions
How much should I play with my cat?
Most cats do well with two or three short sessions a day, 10 to 15 minutes each, ideally before meals. Tumble's play goal starts there and adjusts.
Are laser pointers OK?
Use them sparingly and always end on a toy your pet can actually catch, or a treat. Tumble's games end with a real catch.
Do I need to buy toys?
No. Many games use things you already have: a box, a towel, a muffin tin, a paper bag.
Fill today's basket.
Every lesson, game, walk and meal you log drops a toy in the basket. Six toys and the day is done.
