- Hello everypawdy! 🐾
In this video we are showing you the bad and the good way of stimulating your cat. Not playing enough, or not doing it the right way, can often cause some problems with your cat, those may include: aggressive behaviour, scratching on furniture, peeing outside the litter box, keeping you awake at night and many more. Of course it is not always due to this reason, however most often than not, it's because of accumulated stress and energy that needs to be released in one way (playing) or another ('bad' behaviour).

Aww I don’t know why this channel only has 2.6k subs because everything is so high quality! These videos really help me prep for when I pick up my new Ragdoll kitten.
Thank you so much! Glad you like them! 💕 You will LOVE your kitty!!
This is brilliant and just what I needed. I have my beautiful boy home now (2nd day) and he has been biting a lot when I play with him which I thought was just ‘normal kitten behaviour’ so was accepting it. But really good to see this video and get such great advice. You are my go to people, for helping me make my gorgeous boy happy and healthy 💓
Thank you! And so glad it was helpful! 💕 yes, it's definitely best to try and stop biting straight away, it won't take long for your kitty to learn and your hands will be scratch free 😂❤
Yes that would be nice 😃👍😘
My cat loves the bed playtime too. If she's not in the mood to chase around for anything, I call her to the bed and move a string around the duvet or the blanket. Instant fun
Yes! Playing on bed just always works for us too 💗
I totally believe from the bottom of my heart that your cats are paid actors. 😂
Hahaha 😂💕
I was just about to post that same thing 😄😂
Such happy beautiful cats, wonderful to watch them playing, you are a lovely family 💖
Thank you so much! 💕😊
Can you please make a video on how to convince your parents to get you a cat? I love your channel
This is so helpful! Thank you! Will have to keep this in mind when I get my ragdoll kitten this Fall :)
You're so welcome! 😊
So cute and lovely ❤❤😘👍
love your videos! Super high quality and I wish you the best with your channel growth! I really want a ragdoll and Im figuring out my possibilities for a ragdoll in a year or two!
Thank you so much!! We hope you can get one in future 💙🐾
B E A U T I F U L kitties omg
Thank you all so much!!! O
I was designated to be the "newst" owner of a 1/2 Persian & ???. His name is THOR. I'm learning alot in your content. I'm totally NOT cat person, but Don't Mess With My Cat!!! Giggles. I'm totally in ❤️ 💙 ❤ with His Majesty. (BTW he is scrolling right now on my cell. He hates it when I'm on the phone.) Again thanks! 🎉
Excellent video, just when I thought my cat has grown out of playing and would rather sleep than play. Thanks sooo much!
Thats not possible, cats always want to play no matter their age. They cant grow out of it, because in the wild that would mean grow out of hunting and getting food.
thanks for this video!!! Perfect timing 💕
Hope it's helpful! ❤
Hi! I see you reply to most comments, I have a stray cat I adopted a few weeks ago and she’s super energic, but I feel like some toys over excite her. I have 4 wands I use and a few others (a ball with a bell and a small mouse) but she only really enjoyed the fluffy one, the others really frustrate her I can tell by her behaviour. She obviously gets bored of the toy she likes but it’s very difficult to find similar toys for her. Any advice on a very excited cat? (She’s about a year and a half) I’m playing with her for about an hour before she gets tired really. She also eats on a schedule with weighted out meals.
so cute 😺😺😺😺😺
I've tried it, my cat won't play. We have mutiple toys and I try to play daily, but he barely interacts with them. The laserpointer is the only thing that works
Something we recently discovered is a MEASURING TAPE! The dress making type one, a soft, long tape. They go absolutely mad for it 😂 give it a go if you have one :)
Great video !
How many minutes/hours a day should you play with your kitten and how many sessions per day?
All depends on individual cat's energy levels and age. When it comes to kittens, they can be quite hyper and I would say that you should play with them minimum two to three times a day, until they're exhausted😂 now that our cats are a little older, we play with them once a day usually, again, depends on their level of activity 💕
That cat is so big
I love the toy box, I’ve been looking for one for my kittens toys, may I ask where’s from?
Also where are your toys from? I want everything you are showing :)
This box is from Ikea, we keep it under the coffee table :) when it comes to toys, they come from lots of different places! Zooplus, Amazon and our local pet store
Where about did you get that first toy you had on a stick (yellow one) always looking to add to my kitten shopping list
Long story short, we got similar ones with a kitten pack from our breeder. They got them from a stand on a cat show. We were looking for these for SO LONG! and found them on Amazon. Controversially, we think these are real fur (any maybe that's why they love it so much), so I won't link them, but we are still searching for a similar, synthetic alternative!
@@PixieandBluebell I found these on aliexpress. Mine came in orange fur so I don't think it is a real fur. :)
Are your kittens the lilac colour?
Pixie is blue colourpoint and Bluebell is blue bicolour :)
You don't sound so British like your wife. Where are you from?
We are both from Poland :)
I was worried my cat wasn't very engaged when I played with him, so I found your video and tried out your methods mimicking a prey animal with slow movements on the floor. The results were immediate! My kitty and I thank you very much for this very helpful guide!
Related... My ragdoll just birth n I have to stimulate well for them next.
Tried this with my cat yesterday, and the behind things tip worked! We played for so long for the 1st time. Thank you so much
You guys make great videos, so informative and accurate. The cats are adorable and cooperate so well. I love the way you explain things so well. Keep up the great work and much love to the kitties ❤
Thank you so much!💕
As always love you guys! 💖💋💞😘🥺.
Where did you get the first toy from? 😘♥️
By the way the name of the video says “how to play with YOU cat the correct way! (It says you instead of your)
The first toy is from AliExpress, I think you can find it on Amazon too. We are not sure if it is real fur though, so we are looking for a similar alternative :)
And thank you so much for pointing that out!!! ❤
I had never known there was a right and wrong way to play! This is brilliant!
This is very helpful thanks. I’m wondering when to stop playing with my cat? Or are there any signs tell me that the cat doesn’t want to play any more? Had enough or it’s time to eat the hunt!
most of the time they will just go away, or if they pant like a dog you should take a break. But after a few minutes (if they haven’t fallen asleep yet ;)) you can start to play again. They just need a quick minute to cool down, and their battery is full again :)
Aww the kitties are just too cute for me 🐾 💙
I would love to have a cat that plays so actively. My cat doesn't react to these types of toys, not even laserpointer works anymore. If I buy a new toy, my cat will lose interest quickly. The only way I can get him to play is with a towel, and a little paper stick below it which disappears every few seconds under the towel. That way, he gets a bit mental stimulation, because he won't run around anyway, unless it is evening or night, when he is most active. I believe he associates playtime with stress, because when he does play, it looks like he is in this constant fight or flight state, evaluating whether he should hunt the "prey", run away into the bedroom, or just lick himself to release stress. Playing barely looks like this comfortable fun activity it is supposed to be, but rather like much stress.
Thank you for this
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! 🥰
My kitty love Da Bird toys and attachent! The wand and feather attachments even makes me think there is a real bird in the room lol!
We definitely need to check it out, thank you! 😍
Some people don't know how to engage their kittens, thank you for posting
Yes, correct way of playing is important, thank you! 💗
Hello, I just discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago while getting ready for getting my kittens, and I'm really enjoying them, particularly this one! I'm collecting my two female kittens in a couple of weeks and after watching some of your older videos I believe they actually have the same mother as Pixie and Bluebell (she is a bi-colour called Alice) :). It's a small world! They are both bluepoint girls, so mini Pixies!
Wow! Yes, Alice is our kitties mum! 😍 how amazing! 💕
@@PixieandBluebell thank you, I'll try this to the cat in our office. She sleeps all day over the printer.
thank you i have learnt alot thanks i will subscribe
The cycle - Hunt catch kill eat... do you do that before breakfast too?? Trying to get myself up, prayer time, play time, making breakfast for my husband and I - that's a lot first thing in the morning. Just wondered your opinion.
NOT blonde downstairs!!!
gonna try this when i visit my friend's house the next time :)
You guys are a wonderful couple, how long should you play with your cat? Because I've been playing with my cat for hours and he's still going!!
Thank you 🤍 It really depends on a cat and their age. Recently, Bluebell wants to play even 3 times a day!! But other times he's very relaxed. If you have a young kitten, they generally do need a lot more play time. Maybe look into getting a Catit play circuit, that way your cat will be able to play on its own sometimes too :)
Hey! I absolutely love Your Cats and channel :) im getting my own ragdoll kitten after 5 weeks so obviously i am obsessed with videos of ragdolls :D anyway i needed to ask you guys your opinion on cat litter. I have heard that there are many many options and since you guys are very good at this stuff i tought you could have some great advices :) maybe a video about it or something would be great! Thank you, i will continue the video now :D
That is awesome! We're very excited for you! 💕 We use litter caller Breeder Celect. It is made of recycled newspapers, and it's one of the non-clumping ones. We found that it works better for our cats than fine litter, cause it doesn't get stuck in their tufts (they have fur at the bottom of their paws). It is very personal choice and you'll have to see what works best for both you and your kitty ❤ We would suggest to first use the same litter as what your kitty is used to (ask your breeder what they use), at least at the beginning, and then you can change it if you want to try something different! Hope this helps!
Our cat is around 6 months old and we’ve had him since he was maybe 2. Is there any way we can train our cat to stop trying to play with hands, arms, or legs? We unfortunately knew nothing about cats, so we let him play with hands willy nilly as a younger kitten @_@ Not sure if just taking away hands will work now since he tends to pounce and latch on if you do.
I don't think it could ever be too late, it will only require a lot more work to correct the bad/undesired behaviour. I would say as soon as he does that stop him and get a toy so he can release the energy on something else than you. You may also want to watch our video on how to stimulate the cat, this should definitely help. 💙🐾
@@PixieandBluebell Thank you so much for the advice, I’ll do my best ^^
This is a bit controversial and should not be overused, but you can give them a bap on the head. Of course you would not injure the cat, or do it more than once, but it really works for my cat. I find it more effective than a spray bottle (I dislike them and have never used them but the rest of my family used to) because a bap will simply just be weird for them and an obvious negative reaction. But the negative with spray bottles is that your cat will just become fearful of them and run away. It doesn’t really fix the issue it just makes them scared of water/spray bottles. They don’t get a message of “stop doing this” because they’re scared of the spray bottle and think it’s just a threat, it’s not really you punishing them, or they’ll even realize it’s you and noticeably hold a grudge.
Also they can learn words if you use the same ones often, like “get down” (my cat knows what that means and obeys) or “come here” (I say that every time I pick her up, so she lifts her arms now when I say it.)
What also worked for my cat was, when a cat like randomly attacks your feet or hands, to just (no matter how much it hurts) not react whatsoever. Usually after a few seconds they’ll just run away, my cat doesn’t do this anymore, but I remember a bap also works but isn’t necessary. Hope this helps discipline your kitty 😇
Hi! Where did you buy the cat tunnel from?
It's from Zooplus :)
This video helped a lot ! Especially because my kitty was getting pretty bored
😍
Thank you so much for this important video! Saw some of my mistakes.
Glad it was helpful! ❤
Is everyone ignoring the fact she hit her cat
Sorry?
This is very informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
im getting my ragdoll kitten in 2 weeks and your videos have been so helpful!!
I'm so glad! You must be very excited now! 😍
Pixie and Bluebell yes!!💗
I love your videos! another great one :)
Thanks so much!💕
My cat only plays when I’m not watching
I GOT A KITTEN TWO WEEKS AGO AND I KNEW NOT TO ROUGH PLAY WITH MY HANDS EVEN THOUGH IT'S SO SO TEMPTING...I ALWAYS HAVE A TOY AND IF SHE DOES IT TO MY HANDS, I WALK AWAY AND WON'T ENGAGE...SHE'S A 3 MONTH OLD RAGDOLL...PART HUMAN AND DOG...
Did you know there’s actually a button on your keyboard to turn off caps lock?
@@uglyrobot1975 IS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU? I AM HARD OF SEEING....OKAY? SIR? MASTER?
@@strawberrytart321
It was meant as a lighthearted joke 😅
@@uglyrobot1975 COOL
Thank you! I had been watching Jackson Galaxy, but your video is so much more helpful for me.
Thst was a very informative video and fun to watch. I am waiting for the same cat tree you have to arrive and was pleased to see how steady it is when your furballs take flying leaps on to it. wow ! thanks !!!
How long should you play with your kitten/cat a day?
It's hard to say how long in terms of minutes, I would say just play with them until they get tired and loose interest in the toy 💙
Love watching g all ur videos. I'm going to pick up my Ragdoll kitten in about 5 weeks and I can't stop watching videos. I can't wait to see him in person!
That is awesome! You will have so much fun with your kitty! Time will come very soon 😍

U are my favorite Yts is ever
❤
I love u guys tooo bits I am in Greece it is sooo sunny ☀️
Guys I've been watching your videos for a few months now and really enjoy them. I'm getting my first ragdoll in approximately 4 weeks and so excited. Your videos are very informative and they've made me realise that I need to do a lot of preparation prior to my kitten arriving and lots of work once it's here! I have a quick question and apologies if you've already covered this topic in one of your posts:
In terms of furniture and other household items (settee, curtains, chairs, table, clothes, shoes etc) what should I do to prevent the kitten from playing with these things instead of its toys? Sorry if it's an obvious question but any tips/advice would be very appreciated!
Hey! That's very exciting! The best advice we can give is to have cardboard scratchers and a quality cat tree at home ready for the arrival of the kitten. Cats love to scratch but if they also love their scratching posts, then they will most likely gravitate towards these things 💕 some damage is unavoidable, so you just need to accept that, but as long as you redirect the kitten's attention from furniture to the cat tree/ scratching posts, they will learn quickly!
