I wonder what the equivalent advice for humans would be?Where a cat spends much of its time may influence its chances of developing the disease.
"Cats restricted to indoor living are some five times more likely to develop urinary problems than cats that are allowed outdoors," Buffington said. "I'm not debating whether cats should be housed indoors or outdoors, but owners who choose to keep their cat inside should create an enriched, stimulating environment for their pet.
Boredom may stress house cats, so owners need to make sure their cats have an environment that is engaging and interesting

I think a better word than "boring" is "stressful".Richard.N wrote:It would probably be something like not sitting on your arse all day doing a boring job and especially not in a confined space (office/driving).
The mention of adrenal glands may explain the link to CFS.
