Indoor Cat Enrichment
Indoor Cat Enrichment Ideas for Small Apartments
A practical starting order for owners who feel like their cat is bored, not just "being a cat."
Environmental enrichment is one of the top preventable factors behind indoor-cat behavior problems, per feline veterinary guidance. In a small apartment, that means building vertical territory first, adding foraging second, and window access third, in roughly that order of impact.
The short version
If you can only do one thing this month: add wall shelves for vertical territory. Everything else compounds on top of that.
