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, jumping, overpowering, and hitting toys around offers cats and their people tons of joy - so why do cats so often disregard the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very basic rule to remember when getting toys for cats: cats want a variety of toys. They like a selection 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 search for a beloved toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away permanently. Ensure that 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 peculiar shapes.
Chew toys are a great choice for cats that love 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 beloved toys that can relax 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 fantastic 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 smacked 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 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 must be made from non-toxic materials. Tiny 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 harmed by toys with sharp points and edges. At Adventure Pets Covington, we only provide toys that are safe for your cat.
