Cats love toys. If you were to close your eyes and reflect on your happiest memories with your cat, chances are that the images that come to mind are your cat(s) playing. Hunting, pouncing, overpowering, and hitting toys around offers cats and their people tons of joy - so why do cats so often overlook 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 an assortment of interactive cat toys that use all of their hunting skills. If you have plenty of toys, you can rotate your cat's options 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 categories 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 option 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 eventually are treasured 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 older cats.
Teasers and wands are fantastic toys for sharing playtime with your cat.
Tunnels become the hiding places where you can quickly 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 knocked without a lot of effort. They also like toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can engage with in several different ways.
When you are looking for toys for your cat, you need to make sure they do not have any strings that could be pulled off and swallowed. They need to be large enough that your cat won't try to eat them. They should be made from non-toxic materials. Tiny button eyes and button noses are cute, but anything that can be bitten off and swallowed is dangerous for your cat. Cats of all ages can be hurt by toys with sharp points and edges.
