QUESTION: My cat always tries to escape. How do I keep him happy indoors?

ANSWER: Create an appealing interior from a cat's perspective with plenty of toys and play time. Cats love a high vantage point, so create ledges where your cat can climb. Sunny spots to nap, scratching posts and plush cat condos sold at pet supply stores can help too. Keeping him indoors is essential to a long, healthy life. But a rich life indoors requires more help from you.
