Playtime is just as important to the overall wellbeing of your cat as a trip to the vet. There is no need to spend a lot of money on cat toys. Most of the time, your cat will find many things in your house to play with. Whether you spend a lot of money on the toy or not, it won’t make a difference. Why buy an expensive toy when you have so many free options readily available?
Cats love to climb and rest in places where they can see outside. A sunny window could be their favourite place, and if the windows are high, the cat gets some well-needed exercise jumping from shelf to shelf to get to their spot. Cats also love boxes. Much like children, a cat can occupy itself for hours playing with a box. You can cut holes in it, line it with carpeting or old towels, and your new kitten will love it. Take a few boxes, tape them together, and build your cat a fort. Catnip toys are easy to make too. All you need is a little bit of cloth or furry material to sew into a pouch. Fill it with catnip and stitch some Velcro on to hold it closed. You can make it into a size and shape that appeals to your cat. Don’t worry, catnip is perfectly safe for your cat to enjoy. And if you have one of those laser pointers, your cat will enjoy chasing it. Just make sure that you don’t shine the laser directly into your cat’s eyes.
Toys don’t have to be fancy or expensive at all and aren’t a reflection of your level of cat care. The only investment required is your time. And if your cat loves to be outside, take the time and go for a walk with them. A pet carrier can be a perfect gift for them. Fresh air, new smells, animals around, it is a lot of excitement for your cat.
