16) Homemade Cat Toys (DIY!!)
Cat’s can be very picky when it comes to toys- they have different preferences each day and can quickly get bored. You might find yourself spending lots of money on toys just for your cat to play with once and never touch again. So making your own enrichment games for your feline friends can be a game-changer, especially when buying new toys isn’t an option.
- Cardboard boxes: Had a recent amazon delivery? Gift the box to your cat! Cats love boxes and even the biggest cats will squeeze themselves into a shoe box.
- Puzzle feeders: Simply put some treats into a toilet roll tube or egg box, close them up and throw them to your cat.
- Cat wand: Tie or glue (using non-toxic glue!!) strips of fabric and string to the end of a stick or wooden dowel.
Choosing the right toys for your cat can enrich their days with activity throughout the summer. By understanding your cat’s preferences and introducing them to a variety of stimulating toys, you’re not just providing them entertainment but also enhancing their well-being. The most important thing is to remember that no toy is indestructible. Ensure that your cat is under supervision when playing to avoid the risk of them choking or swallowing any small attachments. And be sure to check for any wear and tear on your cat’s toys regularly.
Here’s to a summer filled with fun, exploration and plenty of purrs!
