Cats are captivated by 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 provides cats and their people tons of joy - so why do cats so often ignore the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very simple rule to consider when buying toys for cats: cats enjoy a variety of toys. They like an assortment 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 hunt for a beloved toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away forever. Make sure your cats have chances to enjoy all of their toys frequently.
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 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 skills.
Plush and mice toys end up being 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 kitties to more mature 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 ensure 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 enjoy toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can play with in several different ways.
When you are searching 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. Tiny button eyes and button noses are cute, but anything that can be bitten off and swallowed is risky for your cat. Cats of all ages can be injured by toys with sharp points and edges. At Braxton's Animal Works, we only provide toys that are safe for your cat.
