CAT TOYS
Through play with cat toys, kittens discover the world around them and
learn basic rules that will govern the rest of their lives.
Kittens
spend many hours playing games, especially those that simulate
hunting and violent competition with other cats.
As they grow up, cats
become calmer and are not as often excited by stimuli. House cats,
however, normally like to continue to engage in some sort of play.
The toys that cats
love most are those that tap into their natural curiosity, their
quickness and agility, and their technique of catching their prey.
Choosing Safe Cat Toys
There are an assortment of cat toys displayed in pet shops and wholesalers,
and whilst they are
are wonderful amusements, cat toys
should be chosen carefully.
Use these tips:
- Avoid toys that have sharp edges or parts that your kitten
might swallow
- Choose soft toys that bounce
- Beware of yarn and toys with strings. Yarn or string is
dangerous if ingested. Supervise all play with these toys.
Cat Toys with Catnip
Choose from a wide range of catnip filled kitten and cat toys available on the market, like the adorable
soft towelling cuddly toys below.
Other catnip products include catnip beds, bags, pillows and socks.
Interactive Cat Toys
Shaped like a real computer mouse, the Cy-Purr Mouse features
technology that comes alive and keeps your feline guessing.
Cat dancer wire cat toy is an interactive
cat toy with spring steel wire, and rolled cardboard creating an
irresistible lure for cats.
Cats are crazy about these particular cat toys because they simulate their favorite
games-stalking, hunting, and chasing prey.

Caution: Supervise pets when playing with any toy. Check toys
regularly for any loose parts which may be ingested. Discard any toy if
it becomes chewed, broken, or damaged.

Balls
Cats never seem to tire of this tried and true favorite.
Cats find it very hard to resist a ball as it catches their eye,
rolling or bouncing on the floor.
Many balls like the the caged variety (pictured below)have a small bell in them or
are made in such a way that
they make a sound as they roll.
Plastic balls in particular, bounce and roll, providing
hours of stimulating exercise and fun, and come in a variety of different colours,
shapes and sizes.
If you're looking to build an arsenal of surefire toys for your cat,
a ball is a must have.
Toy Mice
Fur toy mice are a real
attraction for some cats. Some are even stuffed with catnip.
Others are sold with a stand to
which they are connected with a spring.
As well as the classic fury toy mouse, wind-up toy mice are now
available in shops with spring mechanisms that will run in circles
on the floor.
Homemade Cat Toys
Excellent toys can also be made at home.
However,it is important to check these "toys" to make sure they are not
potentially harmful to your cat.
Making a Cat Toy: Pom Pom
What you need:
- Cardboard
- Wool
- Scissors
- Elastic
- Little Bell
Cut two pieces of cardboard into two
circles. Put the two pieces together
With a ball of wool, start looping it through the centre of the
circles. Make the balls of wool small enough to fit through the
hole.Wrap the wool around the loop so it covers it.
Once you've finished wrapping the wool around the cardboard, cut the wool
all around the outside. Then tie the
centre of the pom pom with another piece of wool so it stays
together.
Now remove the cardboard. Attach the elastic and the bell - and you have a pom pom!
