[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 642127, member: 1233"] Cedar, is your cat happy? If so, let her live her own life. I had several cats who didn't play but were perfectly happy with their lives. I also had a couple who were miserable and had to be trained to behave well. Eventually they too were happy. The best cat friend my dad EVER had did not play. He came to us after leaving a grad student and his abusive girlfriend. They moved away an left him. He was nearly feral, but bonded with my dad over several months. I was terrified when Wiz was born because he was so hateful at that time to all but my dad. By the time Wiz could crawl, they played tag together on the chairs under the dining table. I had zero worries by then because he was so protective and sweet to Wiz. He never played with a cat toy in his life that we saw. But he was happy and the head of the household. Have you tried using a laser pointer to play with your cat? You may need to find a favored treat to help her learn to play, but it can be done. FYI, those cat towers have been ignored or hated by many of our cats. Mostly they use our furniture. Of course few of our cats think they are not human. ToK, Thomas sounds adorable. You can get organic catnip very cheap at many organic food stores. It is often with bulk spices or teas. It is often used as a tea for people with stomach issues. It was MAGIC for Tyler back when he had colic and then when he had acid reflux as a toddler. [/QUOTE]
