Cat Toys
Cat Toys For Healthy Play And Exercise.
Cats
kept mainly indoors should be compensated for their loss of natural
hunting instincts by providing them with suitable cat toys and
preferably joining and playing with them.
While there are numerous
small cat toys available in the local stores it is often the most
simple of home made cat toys can keep your cat active and attentive for long
periods of time. A cat toy made from a simple piece of string with a furry item,
feather, ball or twisted paper on the end dangled or pulled around
will tempt hunting instincts of most cats and, preferably involve
you with your pet.
One
area of caution though! Just because your cat exhibits exceptional
acrobatic tactics in chasing and jumping for these form of cat toys
don't do as some silly folk do and forever tempt the cat to perform
more and more extremes by jumping up for the cat toy.
Cats certainly have a wonderful muscular
system but can and, certainly with older cats, hurt themselves if
pushed to far leaping up and around to catch such a cat toy. If you love your cat then let commonsense apply and
be firm likewise with children who may innocently be tempted to
exert itself beyond reason in attempting to jump high and twisting
to cat the cat toy.
While some suggest that dogs are more loyal than cats this writer,
from experience, knows that happy, healthy cats can establish a very
strong bonding with their owners. With the right treatment
your cat or cats can come to adore you. They will come when called,
play with you and cuddle up providing love and devotion.
