About this episode

Dr. Adam Christman discusses feline enrichment strategies with Tabitha Kucera, focusing on practical ways to engage cats at home.

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.
