Choosing cat toys that are fun and safe!!...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. emeraldeyes (2732) 6 years ago

"Cats love playing with toys. Choosing cat toys (http://www.petsupplies4ypc.com/cattoys.html) can be interesting because there are so many to choose from. You may have to buy several cat toys to find a few that your cat really enjoys.

You want to make sure any cat toys you buy are safe for your kitty. Sometimes this depends on the size and age of your cat. Your cat's activity level is another consideration.

Many times the things that a cat most enjoys playing with are the most dangerous. Take tinsel or string for instance. Unfortunately most cats loves these items but they can swallow them and this may lead to serious problems with digestion. Cats are also interested in playing with rubber bands, paper clips and ribbon. These are unsa fe cat toys and you should keep them away from your cat.

Even when you purchase cat toys you may need to remove parts that can become dangerous. If feathers, strings, eyes or other small parts are not firmly attached they may be unsafe for your kitty.

When purchasing soft toys, look for the ones that are machine washable. When you buy cat toys that can be washed it will be easier to keep the toys clean. If small children have access to the cat toys (http://www.petsupplies4ypc.com/cattoys.html) you will want to make sure the toys are not filled with things that can be dangerous to them. There are cat toys that are filled with crushed nutshells and tiny beads.

Most cats do not like cat toys that are rigid. Cats often love toys that can be cha sed or hunted. Look for at least one cat toy that has an object on the end of a stick. When you play with your feline you can drag the object along the ground and then hide it so your cat gets to feel like a hunter.

Find cat toys that are safe and fun for your cat. And don't forget to take a little time to play with your cat and his new toys. It's a great way to bond and have a good time together."

Our cat loves strings with balls in the end. Our cats want to play also with our slippers that have stuff toys. I even have a kitten who likes to play with my kids' dolls. It does not destroy the doll and simply play with it using her hands.

I guess we have smart cats. They spit out the feathers of the birds so I never considered the few feathery toy for my cats. They also don't care about the little heard pebbly thingys that fall out of some toys we find.

Appealing to the hunter inside your feline friend is the absolute best way to play with them. They are after all predators that share our homes. Our cats don't seem to play as much now that they are older. We have quality time just petting and taking care of them on their level. Amazing creatures that I am blessed with sharing a home with.
