Cat Toys

Cats are very playful animals. Kittens spend most of their waking hours playing and an adult cat of any age will still enjoy a silly moment or two and will enjoy playing with cat toys.

Cats Play

Kittens practice their predatory skills during play. Cats are by nature are hunters and kittens are learning skills they would need in the wild for survival. The play they engage in usually consists of stalking, pouncing, ambushing, tossing, biting and wrestling.

You must be careful playing with young kittens as they can become a little aggressive and act like little tigers sometimes scratching and biting you. Teach kittens not to scratch and bite you when they play

 

Toys you can make for your cat

You don't have to spend a lot of money on toys, you can make your own. Cats will get as much pleasure from homemade toys as they do from shop toys. Listed below are some ideas.

Cardboard boxes are irresistible to cats. Cut out a door and window for more fun.

 


Pine Cones are great fun. Attach a piece or string or yarn to the cone for even more enjoyment. Usually the simplest ideas are the best.

 

Silver Foil Ball.  Make a ball out of aluminium foil. For even more fun work a pipe cleaner into the ball. (A mouse tail)

 


Make spiders from the ties that come from bread wrappers. You can also use pipe cleaners to make an awesome spider.

 


Newspaper. Just open up a few sheets of newspaper on the floor and watch your cat have hours of fun diving under it.


 


Fold a small piece of newspaper and tie it to the end of a piece of string or yarn. Whiz it around the room. Your cat will go crazy chasing it.

 

 

Make a 'Fishing Rod' toy. Attach a small plush toy to a piece of string then tie the string to the stick. Dangle in front of your cat.
