Does your cat love toys?
It provides them with exercise!
Most cats love to play. They manage to find everything amusing. A moving curtain, bed sheet, small insects, and nearly anything that they can
bat at, pounce on or chase after. Most cat owners like buying their cat toys to keep them entertained. Small balls to chase after,
or hanging objects from a string that they can chase or jump provide immediate amusement.
Toys are not only good for amusement but for providing a form of physical activity. If the cat is an indoor cat, most likely they engage in very little activity. Unless they are a kitten, for the most part, cats sleep a great portion of the day. Since cats come from a family of hunters, staying indoors with nothing to do but wait for their food bowl to show up causes weight gain as they age. Having a play-exercise routine can often provide the activity and stimulation they need. Of course, most importantly, not giving in to their food demands is top priority!
Cat toys can sometimes be expensive, but if you have the room, sometimes multi-tiered climbing poles can provide a cat with a great place to hang out and enjoy climbing. Small balls are a favorite for chasing after. If your cat is bored and you have no toys, you can even grab a sheet from a notepad and wad it up into a ball and throw it, works every time! Another favorite household cat game (if you have women in your house) is the ever popular “blush brush”! Just throw it on the floor and watch them bat it all over the house.
