The choice of toys available for your cat these days is vast, and is a booming market. We all want to treat our kitty’s from time to time, but is it really worth and necessary to spend so much money on these?
Cats can be compared to children, in that they go through phases and get bored easily. There are a few suggestions here for appropriate toys that won’t cost the earth.
It is a cats natural instinct to climb and claw at things, unfortunately this tend to mean your soft furnishings and blinds or curtains. If you get them a cat tower they have their own private climbing area and yours will be forgotten. You can get these in varying heights to amuse your kitty all day.
A stuffed mouse is a perennial favorite and it’s easy to see why. They can throw them, chew them and bash them around to their heart’s content. There are various kinds of stuffed mice and by process of elimination you will find your cat’s favorite.
Toys containing catnip are also very popular. Although the presence of the cat nip can get your kitty in very high spirits, they will tire quicker. Giving them it to play with before bedtime will keep them asleep at the same time as you.
You shouldn’t give them the catnip toys regularly, as they can develop a kind of addiction which makes them badly behaved and bad tempered. Once in a while is safe, but certainly not every day.
If you enjoy watching your cat play, you will be in hysterics if you give them a tatty old stuffed toy to play with, especially if it is bigger than the cat. My family have cried with laughter at our cat doing battle with a large teddy bear, and he wore himself out very quickly too.
By giving your cat the opportunity to play with these toys, he will have a lot of fun.
