The truth about cat toys

Facts
Boredom, loneliness, and a lack of challenge can be extremely stressful to cats. The feline by nature is inquisitive, social, and playful, and when their lives become so isolated, without adventures to observe or participate in, and without any trouble to get into or new things in their environment to explore, they can get depressed, and perhaps even feel no sense of purpose to their lives. This of course, can lead them to becoming lethargic and more susceptible to illness.

Options
So, what are the options available for providing more stimulation for your own indoor cat?? The two key words that most feline behaviorists agree upon seem to be: "variety" and "randomness". Remember that indoor only cats left alone all day don't get to hear their humans voices, observe their humans interacting, witness visitors, hear appliances, phones, etc., or even receive those pats on the head and cuddles.
  • Quite often a relatively simple solution is to - get another cat!! Taking care of 2 felines is really not much more work than taking care of one, and they can definitely keep each other company when their humans are away by wrestling, chasing each other, grooming each other, talking to each other, sleeping together, etc.
  • Another solution is - TOYS!! A variety of toys, given sporadically, then hidden for awhile so they don't lose their novelty is a MUST for indoor cats.

What kind of toys
This will be answered in the next posts :)

The truth about cat toys
Part I: 15 - 18 february 2007​

Clasification
Every cat is different of course, and what works for one may not work for another - sometimes even in a multiple cat household! But, by careful observation, the shops are selling now two different kind of toys: play alone toys and play togheter toys.


Play together toys
Laser mouse toy
1_8829_FS6678.jpg

Properties:
*Elusive laser toy drives cats wild
* Highest quality - all brass construction
* Satisfies your cat's stalking instinct


This tantalizing prey just can't be caught! Point it across the room, make it scale walls, or jump from one surface to another. Laser Mouse has a small laser-beam aperture at the front end. When shined upon surfaces, it produces a small red laser light. What makes it so fascinating to cats is the erratic movement (which you control) and the fact that your kitty can never quite catch this prey.

Ba-da beam laser toy
a_481_main-4.jpg


Properties
*rotating laser
Simply the most amazing, automatic, mesmerizing cat toy ever! Just put it on the floor, open the lid to aim at the floor or wall, look out. Cats simply never tire of BadaBeam’s automatically moving and stopping laser. BadaBeam genuinely engages cats for hours on end. Fresh, exciting, and bold, BadaBeam reinvents the entire cat toy category.

Danger : DO NOT shine directly into your cat's eyes.

thanks for info about toys - i had no idea cat toys had gone hi tech!
my question is about the laser toys. how dangerous are they - i mean if you move it fast and your cat moves fast, it could strike his eyes - would it do harm? (i am very clumsy).
 
lol ive already tried the laser thing with my cats ;D
They look so funny running after it ;D
But I have two problems rite now
1. I can't find my laser pen :X
2. My camera is being stupid :raging:
which means i have no pics :( lol

Catnip toys

Kitten Mitten
ktn_910.jpg

Properties:
*Catnip-scented glove
* Fun play...for you and your cat

p_9824_18316.jpg

One of the first rules in training kittens is "do not teach them that hands are toys." The Kitten Mitten, with its 9 1/2 inch fingers is a perfect compromise for those people (usually men):rolleyes: who want to be personally involved in playing with cats.
Dazzle your cat with the Kitten Mitten. She will be entranced by your 9-1/2" fingers and love your jingling, catnip-filled pom-pom fingertips. 100% cotton canvas gloves feature plastic-reinforced fingers. Choose the "Original" Kitten Mitten in assorted colors, or for an extra wild time, the "Wildlife Collection" Kitten Mitten in fleece prints. Please specify Leopard or Tiger. Available in right-hand style only.

WOW :eek: So many different toys for cats!! sometimes I buy those stuffed mouse toys for my cats but they always rip them up to pieces ;D;D

And I loooooooove that Norwegian cat Masha'allah. I want one!!

My cats are soooooo lazy most of the times though :rollseyes: I hang around them with a camera in the hope of catching them doing something interesting for once, but it seems that the only thing they are interested in doing is sleeping most of the time :uhwhat:

We tried the catnip and masha'Allaah they love it.

If you tickle them in the tummy they curl around your hand and kick it with their feet lol subhan Allaah its well cute.. but as they get older they become aggressive sometimes and their teeth get sharper so its better not to do that when their older.

I used to do that alot to my kitties when they were younger and they used to love to kick and nibble on my fingers.

But these days they make my hands bleed and they dont want to let go! :cry:
