The best toys for cats are often home-made and only need YOUR interaction.

My favorite is "fishing" with a piece of string or a stick. Holdrepparttar string/stick aboverepparttar 139355 head of your cat pretending its a fishing rod. Your cat will delight in jumping and swatting, especially if you let her catch it once in a while.

Another favorite with my cats is to crumple a piece of paper. Justrepparttar 139356 sound ofrepparttar 139357 paper seems to get them excited. Showrepparttar 139358 catsrepparttar 139359 ball of paper and then throw it for them. Watch as they chase it roundrepparttar 139360 room in delight.

Some toys, such as lures attached to string should only be played with when you are there to manipulate it. If you leave it set up for her while you are gone, there is a chance she could become tangled inrepparttar 139361 string and choke. Pet supply stores carry some captivating self-play toys, such as a ball inside a track that will keep your kitty safely content while you are away. A kitty condo or carpeted tree is good investment. The multiple levels encourage climbing, whilerepparttar 139362 hiding holes allow your cat to indulge her stalking instinct. Toys need not be expensive. Create a cat puzzle by taping a toilet paper roll tube torepparttar 139363 floor and placing a cat treat inside. Your cat will enjoy trying o getrepparttar 139364 treat fromrepparttar 139365 tube.

Be sure that you remain in control during playtime. If your cat starts to play roughly, rub a stuffed animal against her belly and quickly withdraw your hands. This directs her aggressive behavior ontorepparttar 139366 toy and away from you. If she ignoresrepparttar 139367 toy and continues to play-attack you, endrepparttar 139368 play session and walk away. Come back in a few moments and try again. After awhile, she will learn that you controlrepparttar 139369 level of play, not her.
