Cats are fascinated with toys. If you were to close your eyes and reflect on your happiest times 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 lots of joy - so why do cats so often dismiss the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very practical rule to keep in mind when buying toys for cats: cats love a variety of toys. They like a variety of interactive cat toys that use each of their hunting skills. If you have plenty of toys, you can rotate your cat's options so they can search for a beloved toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away for good. Ensure that your cats have opportunities to play with all of their toys regularly.
What are the types of cat toys? Here are just a few:
Balls and chasers entice your cat to chase with feathers, fun noises, and unusual 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 become beloved toys that can soothe 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 kittens to senior cats.
Teasers and wands are wonderful 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 like toys that are light and small enough to be knocked without a lot of effort. They also enjoy toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can interact with in various 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 ingested. They need to be large enough that your cat won't try to eat them. They should be made from non-toxic materials. Small button eyes and button noses are adorable, 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. At Moore Equine Feed & Pet Supply, we only provide toys that are safe for your cat.
