Cats like to play. The owner may not have as much time to play with the cat when he has to go to work during the day. He would buy all kinds of toys for the cat. But our cat owners sometimes don’t even pay attention to the toys. Sometimes they play a few times and then they’re not interested. The officers were confused. Using these cat toys correctly is a science!
Pay attention to the time and frequency of use
Cats are very curious and love new things, so don’t let them play with toys for too long at a time. That way, the next time the cat takes the toy out, they’ll be willing to play.
As an extremely “old and new” creature, it is unthinkable to use toys to solve problems. So keep more toys for your cat to keep it fresh
Pay attention to usage
For cats, there is no toy, only prey! The process of play is the practice of cat hunting. A cat’s vision is not sensitive to static objects. What gets a cat’s attention is a moving object. Something that can move at high speed is better because the prey is moving.
So when we use a cat toy, we can use the toy to mimic the actions of the prey and get the cat’s attention.
How to choose a cat toy
First, be firm. Cat toys should be able to withstand a range of actions, such as cat scratching, biting, lunging, throwing, licking, and shaking. It is best not to have small, easy to fall off things, easy to be swallowed by the cat!
Second, be fun. Owners may have faced this dilemma: neither ping-pong balls nor paper balls are attractive to a 100 yuan cat toy. Cats like to use their catching, jumping, lunging, and hiding skills in games, so objects that stimulate these skills are more popular, such as ping-pong balls that can be danced all the time when touched.
Third, fill with edible catnip. Catnip can be very attractive to cats. But most cats will bite the toy because they like to eat catnip, so the toy has to be solid.
Fourth, feathered ones are more popular. Cats like to catch birds best. Every year, hundreds of millions of birds around the world fall prey to cats. So cats like toys with feathers or fur.
