There are more and more toys for cats, but some toys are not suitable for your cat to play with, otherwise dangerous situations will occur in the process of playing. So what should you look for when choosing toys for your cat?
- Be firm
If it can withstand shaking, throwing, biting, scratching, patting, kicking, licking, many times running and not loose, can be said to be a good cat toy. Cat toys filled with catnip are easy to get your cat interested, but most cats eat the catnip in the toy because they like it. Catnip toys made of thin cloth or felt turn into rags in less than a week and can get into your cat’s belly. The same goes for plastic or vinyl toys that can be easily bitten or damaged. - No parts that fall off easily
Catnip mice with wire tails, caterpillars with inlaid eyes, oversized stuffed wasps with patterns and plastic tennis balls with seduction balls are four of the most popular cat toys. But they have a common disadvantage: small size, parts easily fall off. If you can tear a decoration off a cat toy, so can a cat. Examine existing toys in this way. Instead of taking the cat’s tail out of the cat’s belly in the hospital, it’s better to use the cat’s tail to reduce catnip mice. - It’s also fun
A cat toy that the cat is not interested in is not a cat toy. Many cat owners have encountered such a situation: the cat toy spent 100 yuan, not as attractive as the small paper balls, ping-pong balls. Cats like to use the skills they are good at: climbing, running, jumping, hiding and scratching. Choose toys that stimulate these behaviors, and the cat will like them. This is the beauty of the ping-pong ball: when the cat pounced, it would “bounce” away, prompting the cat to pounce again. Cats are more likely to see things that move, so they prefer toys that sway, jump up and down, and run around because these toys bring out the cat’s hunting nature.
