A Guide to Cat Toys

When choosing a toy for your cat, you want one that is safe and good for getting your cat to exercise. You can buy some of these toys at the store, and you can make some at home.

1. Balls:

Cats love to chase balls. Almost any ball will do. Ping pong balls are great for their size. My cat has even played with my kids’ balls from his ball pit. The balls are safe because they cannot be chewed open or swallowed whole. For added pleasure, give your cat a ball with a bell inside. Then when the cat hits the ball, he will hear the bell. This only works with cats that are not skittish. One last ball option is to crinkle some aluminum foil into a ball. Most cats like shiny objects.

2. Thread with a feather attached to the end:

Use this toy only when playing with your cat. Don’t let the cat play just because the string can snag around the cat’s neck and suffocate it. Hold the string in front of the cat and slowly pull the string away from the cat. The cat will jump to the pen. This is a hunting reaction that a cat would have in the wild. It will pounce on the feather as if it is catching its prey. It’s a great way to stimulate your cat’s natural instincts and promote exercise at the same time.

3. Buy a mouse with a remote control:

This is a fun toy to play with and also helps to encourage a cat’s hunting skills. You can use any remote control toy, but a mouse is a more natural choice. Use your remote control to move the object around the room. Stop when the cat catches you so you can feel a sense of accomplishment. Then start over. Play while the cat is interested. This is a great way to get your cat to exercise.

4. Buy a bag of catnip or make your own:

Make a pillow out of burlap and fill it with a cat. Then sew it. Cats go crazy from the bite and will want to play with the toy when they smell the smell. If the cat becomes too crazy and tries to open the burlap, you will have to remove the toy. However, most cats should be fine with that.

5. Buy or make a climber:

Cats love to climb on top of everything. This is why many of them get stuck in the trees. A climber is essential if you don’t want your cat to start crawling through the curtains. You can buy some that are fairly inexpensive, or you can make your own out of wood. Simply staple the mat to each step of the climber so that the cat does not jump and slide off the smooth wooden surface. Make sure the climber is secure and does not tip over when the cat is playing with it.
