Our expert answered:

Power walking - try taking your cat out for a walk on a harness (yes, a harness!). Cat harnesses are available from your pet shop. While you're out, encourage your cat to jump and play using natural 'toys' like piles of leaves.

Toys - homemade or pet shop toys help to encourage your cat to get moving.

'Catch the Light' - shine a white light torch on the walls and let your cat play (do not use a red light laser as it can damage your cat's eyes).
