Cats are fascinated with toys. If you were to close your eyes and think back on your happiest memories with your cat, chances are that the images that come to mind are your cat(s) playing. Hunting, attacking, overpowering, and hitting toys around offers cats and their people lots of joy - so why do cats so often ignore the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very simple rule to keep in mind when getting toys for cats: cats enjoy a variety of toys. They like a variety of interactive cat toys that use each of their hunting skills. If you have enough toys, you can rotate your cat's choices so they can hunt for a favorite toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away forever. Make sure your cats have chances to enjoy all of their toys regularly.
What are the groups of cat toys? Here are just a few:
Balls and chasers entice your cat to chase with feathers, fun noises, and unique shapes.
Chew toys are a great choice for cats that enjoy to chew. They also help to keep your cat's breath fresh and their teeth clean.
Interactive and electronic toys bring out the best in your cat's hunting abilities.
Plush and mice toys become cherished toys that can calm and ease your cat when it's time to go into the carrier.
Scratcher posts and mats are a must for all ages of cats, from kitties to senior cats.
Teasers and wands are great toys for sharing playtime with your cat.
Tunnels become the hiding places where you can easily find your cat.
And variety packs help make sure your cat always has a fun toy.
Cats favor toys that are light and small enough to be whacked without a lot of effort. They also enjoy toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can play with in various different ways.
When you are searching for toys for your cat, you need to make sure they do not have any strings that could be pulled off and ingested. They need to be large enough that your cat won't try to eat them. They need to be made from non-toxic materials. Little button eyes and button noses are adorable, but anything that can be bitten off and swallowed is risky for your cat. Cats of all ages can be injured by toys with sharp points and edges.
