Summary

In this episode of the Vet Blast Podcast, Dr. Adam Christman sits down with Tabitha Kucera, RVT, VTS (Behavior), CCBC, KPA-CTP, FFCP to talk all things feline enrichment. Kucera shares practical, low-cost strategies for letting cats express their natural instincts at home, from scent enrichment using silver vine and catnip to puzzle feeders that tap into a cat's innate hunt-seek-forage behavior. She emphasizes the importance of tailoring enrichment to the individual cat — including those managing obesity or chronic pain, and reminds caregivers that enrichment doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive.
