Cat Toys

Cats are easy to amuse. There is very little that could not serve as a cat toy in a pinch. In many households, commercial cat toys gather dust while the cat enjoys everyday items they find around the house.

What may be considered garbage to you, such as bottle caps, paper bags, and boxes, can be an exciting toy to your cat.

You do need to pay special attention to the household items your cat is playing with. Make sure that bits and pieces item can't get chewed off and swallowed because they could become lodged in their mouth or throat. You also need to make sure that small pieces don't get caught on their claws and prevent them from retracting. If you have doubts about the household item your cat has chosen to play with, discard it to avoid problems.

Look carefully at the commercial cat toys you purchase. Make sure that the toy fits the cat's personality and your cat can have hours of safe play time.
