Cool Cat Toys - Part 8

This is a must have cool cat toy!!!

Cat furniture towers are a great place for cats to play which will discourage them from jumping on your furniture when they are bored or playful. The average cat tower is a tall structure that is perfect for your cat to jump and climb on. They often provide little cubby holes that your cat can curl up and sleep in when they are tired out from all of their playing. Best of all they are covered in material that is perfect for scratching so your cats will spend their time sharpening their claws on the new tower rather than clawing your furniture to shreds.

Cat towers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes so you do not have to worry about buying something that is too big or too small. There are cat furniture towers that are perfect for one cat and some that are designed with two or more cats in mind. They also come in a wide variety of colors and materials so you do not have to worry about settling for something that will clash horribly with your own furniture. These days' cat furniture towers are designed with the cat owners wishes in mind in addition to the cats. Many pet supply retailers now offer cat furniture towers that boast attractive designs that all cat owners would be proud to display out in the open.

Best of all, cat furniture towers are extremely affordable. Even cat furniture towers that are tall, elaborate, and meant for multiple cats are reasonably priced. Cat owners do not have to worry about breaking their budget just to save their furniture. Also, since cat furniture towers are reasonably priced, they can be replaced as often as necessary without causing financial hardship to the cat owner. Even though cat furniture towers are made to last and are much more durable than most people realize they will, eventually, start looking a bit threadbare. Thanks to the great prices charged by most retailers online and off-line cat furniture towers can easily be replaced with newer, fresher, looking towers whenever the owner feels the need.

Here's more idea on getting cool cat toys for your lil furball...

If you have a cat as a pet, you might have observed that they usually have different play styles than their canine counterparts. Toys are very important for cats than they are for dogs. Cat toys help fight boredom and it also gives them an outlet for their instinctive prey chasing behaviors. Playing with your pet can also be a bonding experience for the two of you.

However, when you are planning to buy a toy for your pet, you should make sure that the toys you are buying are safe for them. The type of toy that you buy depends on the size of your pet, their activity level, and preferences. You should also consider the environment that your pets play in or spends their time in as well. Here are some tips that you should consider in buying a cat toys.

Remember that most cats are attractive to things that are dangerous to them. So the first thing you have to do is to cat proof your home. You should remove string, ribbon, yarn, rubber bands, plastic bands, plastic milk jug rings, paper clips, pins, needles, dental floss, and anything else that can be ingested. These things are dangerous to your pet.

In buying a toy, you should avoid those that have ribbons, feathers, strings, eyes, or other small parts that can be chewed and ingested. Alternatively, you just avoid those that have these things. You could buy stuffed animals that are labeled as safe for children less than three years of age and that do contain any dangerous fillings like nutshells and polystyrene beads. It would be better if the toy can be machine-washed. The toy should be soft as rigid toys are not as attractive to cats.

There are different categories of cat toys. They can be active, comfortable or filled with catnip. Active types can be round plastic shower curtain rings, plastic balls, or you can put a ping-pong ball or plastic golf ball in a dry bathtub to keep your mind occupied. Paper bags are also good for pouncing, hiding and interactive play.

A toy for comfort can include soft stuffed animals, which serve several functions. The stuff animal should be small animal to be carried around. Alternatively, it should be the same size as the cat for it to wrestle it around with. You can also consider buying a toy with legs and a tail, as this is more appealing to cats. Cardboard boxes are also comfort toys for your cat.

You can also consider buying catnip filled soft toys. These are fun to kick, carry and rub. It is also perfectly safe as it is not addictive and cats can roll in, rub in or eat. Catnip can also be crushed and sprinkled on the carpet. Or, you can put it on a towel placed on the floor so it will be easy to clean as catnip oils can stay in the carpet. However, we might not see the oil, but your cat will be able to smell them.

You can also get the most of your toys by rotating your cat toys weekly or by making only a few available at a time. Keep different types easily accessible. Alternatively, you can leave a toy that your cat loves available at all times. Make sure that the toys are of different uses like a toy to carry, a toy to wrestle with, one to roll, and one to baby.

Cool Cat Toys - Part 4

This article may not be concentrating on cool cat toys that you can buy or make for your favourite furry friend. But it can give you an idea on what to get for your "baby" for this coming holiday season.

You may want to go with the traditional cat toys depending on the age of your cat. Older cats may not enjoy these as much as a younger one. Please consider what energy level your cat has before purchasing a bunch of toys that will not be used upsetting you and your older feline.

However, if you have a younger cat or one that thinks they are a mouser even though they probably have never see n a mouse in their lives these toys are great fun. The more you can do to get your cat active the better they will be off. Cats like all other pets need exercise and these toys are a great way to get them moving. Another idea is a new collar with fresh name tag. Once again if you have a cat that is not use to having a collar this may not end well.

Maybe if you have more than one cat you may want to invest in a kitty apartment for them to play and relax in. If you are looking for something a little different you might want to try on of the water purifying cat dish that keeps that cats water cool, clean, and has a falling stream of water for your cat. You may want to look at a cat bed a special place for your cat to go and relax. With the cat bed there are no guarantees that your cat will stop sleeping well everywhere else.

Here are more example of cool cat toys that you can play with your favourite furry feline:

When you return home, your cat may be watching for you at the window. Tracing your finger on the window can be great fun.

Forget the myth that says cat hates water. Believe it or not, some cats love being around water. You might see if they are interested in fishing for your toes while you’re taking a bath, or in bobbing for floating plastic bottles.

Yes, you can teach your cat to fetch. As many of us know, cats sometimes like bringing us "presents" of something they hunted. With a bit of regular encouragement, you can get them to bring you soft balls or mouse toys.

Balls of every type and anything that rolls is fun to a cat, but balls of yarn are among their favorites.

Some cats love a challenge. Try putting an object they want or a treat inside a plastic jug or box that has holes cut in it, or place a jingling ball inside a clear, roll-able, plastic container.

Play hide and seek when they are following you all around the house. Pick up your speed and duck behind a door jamb. When they get close, jump out and say "BOO!" and chase them making game noises. Then go back on your route, and jump out again when they follow you.

"Twitch the Hair" is played when they are sleepy and lying near you. Ever so lightly, with your finger or other object, move very lightly across just a few hairs. Usually the lower back, ear tufts, and hair on the under paw works best. You’ll know you’re in the right area when they start to twitch. When they open their eyes, pretend like nothing happened. Let them close their eyes and begin again.

Cool Cat Toys - Part 2

There are so many cool cat toys that you can play with your cat. A few tips before starting: If your cat accidentally hurts you, let them know your disapproval by saying "ouch!" or "no!" and quit playing with them for half an hour or more. If you do this consistently, they will learn to be more gentle with you.

A classic cool cat toy or game is to have them "hunt for burrowing mice." Just run your hand underneath a blanket and let them pounce on top.

Another example of a cool cat toy are the brown paper bag. Most cats can’t seem to resist a brown paper shopping bag left on the floor, but if yours need a little enticing, try scratching your finger at the back of the bag when they are near the opening.

Fishing poles also make a cool cat toy. All you need is a stick, a string, and some small, soft, bauble at the end like a knotted handkerchief or a stuffed mouse toy.

Showdown is a game for a confrontational cat, once they know they can trust you. It’s best played once they know your signal of when to stop and how to be gentle. When they are batting at your legs or otherwise in a hunting mood, wave your arms up and down in front of them and make your playful fake fighting sounds. Don’t frighten them, and watch that they don’t get too serious, and it can be a fun game for both of you.

Similarly, you can play, "en garde!" Find some object like a ruler or a pencil or hairbrush. That and their paws are the foils in your swordplay.

If you want a fancy and cool cat toy, find a small laser pointer and watch your cat go wild trying to catch the dot of light. Do not let them stare directly into the laser source, but you can point the dot to a wall, or it’s particularly fun if you can sit in a position where you can point the laser from one end of the house to the other and back and forth. You won’t get tired, but they will get lots of exercise!

Cats love being in the same room with you, and are sometimes waiting for your return just on the other side of a closed door. If there is a gap under the door, try poking a pencil or some other object underneath and see if paws appear when you pull it back.
