What makes cats love cat toys?
Im doing a 7th grade science research project…… What makes cat toys so special? Like theres the colors.. scent.. etc…?
Although dogs have been bred for many purposes (herding, hauling, guarding, etc.) cats have been used by humans for one primary thing, hunting rodents to keep them out of homes and food supplies.
Cats are excellent hunters. They are patient, quiet, fast and deadly. Therefore, toys that mimic hunting are the most natural toys for cats. Cats want movement that is irregular as if from a living thing so the best cat toys are the ones with a person on the other end.
Some cats will, in a pinch, play with stuffed mice and balls but they are essentially dead things and nowhere near as interesting as toys with live movement. Some cats will play with images on the TV and laser pointers but neither are a good substitute for physical toys and, in the case of lasers, can be dangerous to their health.
