I Love My Cat

Types Of Cat Toys

Picking cat toys off the shelves at any pet center or website can be an adventure. Here are some suggestions that might help you overcome the cat toy maze.

Recommendations:

# Da Bird looks like a fishing rod with attachable feathers on the end that can be replaced when worn. The package bills this toy as the #1 cat toy on the market and says it is recommended by veterinarians as an interactive exercise toy. Alert: “Hide this toy when not in use or cats will love them to pieces.”

# Cat Dancer is an interesting toy made from a looped wire with rolled cardboard pieces about 1/2 inch attached at the end of the wire. The package says “Hold Cat Dancer lightly between your thumb and forefinger and play with your cat.” Look for the stand that goes with this product so kitty can play when you’re not at home.

# A-Door-Able Bouncing Mouse is a furry catnip filled mouse attached at the end of an elastic cord that hangs over any size door frame that will jump and bounce as the cat swats the mouse.

# Kitty Glow Balls has two balls to a bag. The balls glow in the dark making for nocturnal amusement for your cat. Most cat owners will sleep through this one. Each ball has multi-colored yarn that sticks out from inside the ball making it more interesting for the cat. Beware: Make sure the yarn is only two inches long, in case it becomes detached from ball. String or fibers can be swallowed and become wrapped in your cat’s intestines.

# Kitty Roller is a colorful plastic cylinder with geometric shaped cutouts that kitty can roll and bat around the floor. There is a ball inside the cylinder and a bell inside the ball.

# Crazy Circle is two pieces of plastic that look like a tire shape with a medium- sized ball inside so when kitty bats the circle the ball inside runs around the large tire shape.

# Diz Wiz is a bright colored plastic bowl with a 10-inch plastic stick that attaches inside the bowl. At the other end of the 10-inch stick is a swivel-jointed stick that has a string with feathers attached to the end. This toy looks like a spinning top when the bowl wobbles and spins around. Beware: Care should be taken to make sure the spring doesn’t become dislodged from plastic.

“Cats seem to get bored with the same old toys and like a little novelty,” says Ehrenberg. “They like high shelves, climbing trees and posts. Some cats like to chase those laser pointer toys, too.”

Toys Found Around the House

Toys don’t have to be expensive for a cat to have fun. Sometimes cardboard boxes or large paper bags will do or something as unceremonious as a wadded up piece of paper will keep kitties amused for hours. A preference for play toys is very individual according to each cat’s likes and dislikes.

Now if we could just find the secret to teaching our favorite felines to pick up their toys when they are done playing, then everybody would be happy.
