Cats are known to be more reserved than dogs. But that doesn’t mean they are not as fun. If you take time to innovate interesting games for your feline pets, they will reciprocate by being naughty and playful. For cats, you can create games and toys with just about anything at home.
The best way to choose or create a toy for your cat is to see what attracts him. Notice your cat’s behavior at home. There must be something in the house that will catch his fancy. If you can create a game on that basis, nothing like it. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Rubber Ball: Fix a pet-safe rubber chewy or a ball with an elastic cord and hang it from a curtain rod. Now watch your pet cat jump up and down, grabbing at and playing with his new toy.
Old Sock And Catnip: Can you spare an old sock? Perfect! Fill your sock with catnip and roll it up into a ball. Catnip is a herb known to have tiny white and purple spotted flowers. This herb has a peculiar smell that attracts cats. You can check for catnip at a pet store.
Cardboard Box: Cats love playing in boxes for some reason! Get a big cardboard box and fill it up with shredded paper. Throw in a couple of squeaky rubber balls and watch the cat hunt for the ‘mouse’. You might end up with a royal mess, but also one very happy cat!
