Hi all

My 2 fur babies are 4 months and seem a bit bored of there toys at the mo. Just wondered what sorts of things your cats like to play with? and if you have any homemade suggestions??

Thanks

Kerry

Hiya, I spent a fortune on my kitties even though I said I wouldnt and they rarely seem to play with their toys now!

They do however love to play with string and balled up bits of paper! I usually give them an empty crisp packet to play with as they seem to love it! and I also had a cardboard box which I cut out holes in so they can play in that which they went crazy for! lol

My cat spends the majority of his happy life outdoors so toys would be of little interest to him.

However I did grow catnip in the garden which became his local 'Korova Milk Bar' !!!

I made Aber a few toys out of some fur fabric and felt. I put OHs old (but clean!) socks and catnip in the middle.

This is the mouse I made with pompom ears (well stitched on!)

Zelda has of course come along and ripped the mouse to shreds but I can soon make another

Rubbish, quite literally! Empty loo rolls, screwed up balls of paper, old cardboard boxes ... he's pretty easy to please. One of his favourite things is having a ball of paper thrown up & down the stairs for him to chase after ... it tires him out nicely, too!

Ours love paper hehe

Twist a strong paper flour bag and tie it with ordinary string to a sratcher or bannister so that it can swing.

Kitchen foil balls go down well. Cardboard boxes of different sizes with and without holes cut in.

Buy dryed catnip - a little goes a long way and the packet lasts for ages - can be bought in P@H.

Check out if your local park has a duck pond. Often goose/swan/duck feathers can be picked up and you can tie these to string and a bamboo cane to make an improvised fishing rod toy. (or if there is a city farm)

my clothes horse full of clothes seems to be the best thing in the world... NOT TO ME!!!! when i wake up in the morning and my clothes still aint dry cos they have been scrunched up on the floor lol... thick pens... stuffed teddies... my toes... my throw that has tassles on it... and the best entertainment that seems to tire my kitties out is watching my huge 4ft ffish tank or the hamster... They dont attack either of them or try and get in... but if i hold them gentle supporting there bums they will sit there watchin the hamster go round and round or the fish go back and forth... not make a noise or move just gentle fall asleep purring lol... or if im not there to hold them they will sit on the side closest to them and fall asleep lol bless them

Cardboard boxes and screwed up bits of tin foil work a treat! It seems to be these simple things that Tilly loves the most, despite all the money we have spent on her fancy un-played with toys!)
