Cats are captivated by toys. If you were to close your eyes and think back on your happiest times with your cat, chances are that the images that come to mind are your cat(s) playing. Hunting, pouncing, overpowering, and hitting toys around offers cats and their people lots of joy - so why do cats so often ignore the toys we bring home for them?
There is one very straightforward rule to remember when buying toys for cats: cats enjoy a variety of toys. They like a selection of interactive cat toys that use all of their hunting skills. If you have plenty of toys, you can rotate your cat's options so they can hunt for a preferred toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away for good. Ensure your cats have opportunities to enjoy all of their toys frequently.
What are the categories of cat toys? Here are just a few:
Balls and chasers entice your cat to chase with feathers, fun noises, and peculiar shapes.
Chew toys are a great choice for cats that love to chew. They also help to keep your cat's breath fresh and their teeth clean.
Interactive and electronic toys bring out the best in your cat's hunting skills.
Plush and mice toys eventually are treasured toys that can relax and ease your cat when it's time to go into the carrier.
Scratcher posts and mats are a must for all ages of cats, from kittens to older cats.
Teasers and wands are terrific toys for sharing playtime with your cat.
Tunnels become the hiding places where you can easily find your cat.
And variety packs help make sure your cat always has a fun toy.
Cats prefer toys that are light and small enough to be knocked without a lot of effort. They also like toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can interact with in various different ways.
When you are shopping for toys for your cat, you need to be sure they do not have any strings that could be pulled off and swallowed. They need to be large enough that your cat won't try to eat them. They need to be made from non-toxic materials. Tiny button eyes and button noses are adorable, but anything that can be bitten off and swallowed is dangerous for your cat. Cats of all ages can be harmed by toys with sharp points and edges. At Healthy Pet Products Florida, we only offer toys that are safe for your cat.
