Cats are captivated by toys. If you were to close your eyes and think back on your happiest times with your cat, chances are that the images that come to mind are your cat(s) playing. Hunting, jumping, overpowering, and hitting toys around gives cats and their people lots of joy - so why do cats so often disregard the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very practical rule to consider when getting toys for cats: cats want a variety of toys. They like a variety of interactive cat toys that use all of their hunting skills. If you have enough toys, you can rotate your cat's options so they can hunt for a favorite toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away permanently. Make sure your cats have chances 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 peculiar 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 skills.
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 kitties to more mature cats.
Teasers and wands are great 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 swatted without a lot of effort. They also enjoy toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can engage with in various different ways.
When you are looking for toys for your cat, you need to be sure they don't 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. Little 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 Pet Supply Warehouse, we only provide toys that are safe for your cat.
