• Without appropriate outlets, cats redirect hunting behavior to hands and feet
• Wand toys, small mice, and fuzzy balls redirect play away from human body parts
• Rotate toys every 2-3 days to maintain novelty
• Routine play schedules reduce unpredictable attacks
• End play sessions with a treat to wind down hunting behavior
• Outdoor enrichment (catios, harness walks) satisfies hunting instincts
• Food puzzles channel hunting drive into foraging behavior
