Your cats toys

Giving your cat toys, facilitates physical and mental exercise for them. This also leads to a healthier, and better behaved cat. It will strenghten the bond between owner and cat as well. Cat toys are only limited to the owners imagination, just make sure they are safe.

Your cat will play with almost anything, the key is to make sure it's safe. They are construed to prey, so anything that moves, they love. Anything that is moving gives them the chance to not only prey but to pounce. They also like toys that sit and are idle, that they can engage when they become curious of it.

Cats most enduring toys are strings, from yarn, twine, shoelaces or anything you can think of that is string form. Dragging them along the floor or draped over the edge of your couch will offer facilitating play. Some cats even enjoy strings with big knots in them.

Even a simple toy made from the owner using a flashlight or laser pointer makes great entertainment for a cat. These two toys provide play for hours. The rule of thumb is never aim the light source at your cats eyes. Moving the light source back and forth, up and down walls gives them endless play.

Another great toy idea is to sprinkle your catnip along the edge of a cardboard box or scratching post. It's very amusing to watch your cats reaction to this. Just use the catnip sparingly, as a special treat. Also it is easy to grow your own catnip in a small planter.

Last but not the least cats love fabric toys. This gives them the chance to use their claws as well as their teeth.

This is a form of rougher play however, but sometimes they need to use these type of toys so they don't use your furniture.

What every toy you use for your cat, just make it a safe one.
