- RELEASE YOUR CAT’S INNER TIGER
Toys that move like the Da Bird help to stimulate your cat’s predatory response. Other predatory toys include Ba -Da-Beem Rotating Laser Cat Toy, Frolicat laser toy, Feline Frolic, Da Bird, Smart Kitty toys, and Kong Kickeroo.
- MAKE IT NEW
Rotate your cat’s toys so that each day your cat has something new and fabulous to explore. A good general rule is to give your cats 3 new toys per day per cat. That’s right…3 cats = 9 toys per day!
- TURN ON THE TV.
Some cats love to watch television and play video games just like your human kids. Turn on an animal television show or download a video game made for your cat. Make sure to purchase a protective case for your iPad!
- GIVE YOUR CAT A JOB
Teach your cat to work for her food by using food toys to stimulate her. Some food toys examples include: Delidome, Sense IT line of cat toys, Kitty Kong and Pipolino.
- YOU DON’T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY.
Cats don’t care how much you paid for a toy. They are just as happy with a ball of paper or a cardboard box. Add some catnip and let the fun begin!
