Game one of the basic needs of cats. Growing kitten needs to play to train your hunting skills, because every cat is by nature a predator.

Playing the kitten develops and strengthens muscles.

But adult cats are not averse to frolic. Some do it only if the owner does not see, so as not to spoil its solid image. Others do not give up and play in his presence. The main thing that was, with nothing to play! Otherwise, a toy can become the hands and feet and the owner of valuable items to use. But before that you should not bring.

 

stores the goods for animals offer a huge range of toys for cats. It has everything that can please the beast ЂЂЂ very similar to real fur mouse, the mouse is easier, but with a squeaker inside, variegated marbles and balls, with harsh ringing serdtsevinkoy and soft rubber, fishing rods, teasers, balls with holes, into which You can run a paw, and then hidden away something that so hard but so want to get. Some of the toys are impregnated with substances which attract the cat. The choice is sufficient to satisfy the most picky pet.

 

But they are not self-serving, our cats. They do not expect us to spend a fortune on toys. All these things are more designed for pet owners than for themselves. You can never tell exactly what the subject will attract the cat anymore, and it is possible that she indignantly reject only bought at the pet store today and take the ball to jump over fallen from a feather pillow.

 Just like in a pet store, only cheaper: make a toy for a cat with his own hands  

Of course, not every toy from the pet store, you can repeat at home, but the cat, in general, not very important similarities. The main idea ЂЂЂ. For example, do with their hands out of bait you can stick (suitable for single-use stick sushi, ruler, pointer), a piece of string and scraps of paper rustling better. Teaser can be drawn from the same stick to sushi and a few pieces of ribbon or a thin belt, fasten it with tape. Instead, pet stores can give a mouse a cat a piece of fur from old coats. "Secret Ingredient", which is imbued with some store bought toys are also available separately from them. This is catnip, which can be bought at a pet store in dried form (and fill her homemade toy) or as a spray (which you can spray with a toy).

 

But in most cases, these simple steps for the production of toys will be unnecessary. The best cat toys are derived from the fact that we happen to forget or have not yet had time to throw. Or the fact that is bad.

 

Our cat loves the sausage sticks from ice cream. Find one of them allegedly accidentally casually posited on the table, slyly and begins to drive vykradet the room. And if you stick to tie the rope begins an incredible, because it ЂЂЂ only for what this dignified and noble lady in general can jump. Especially on a vysotuЂЂЂ

 

Candy wrappers, tied to a string, will be for any cat ЂЂЂ pleasant surprise of course, if you do it to play. For such a wonderful rustling gizmo can wear forever! A foil from the chocolate and do not attach enough ЂЂЂ roll of the ball and throw it was waiting for this moment the cat. Plastic from the middle of a chocolate egg can also be a great cat toy, if you put into it a few peas, bean and pour the finer grits. Roars and rolls, but that still need to be happy?

 

How much happiness for the cat carries a cardboard box from under the medium-sized household appliances such as vacuum cleaner! Leaving her well, at least for a few days, we can make these days unforgettable for the cat, is not it nice to jump into the box and back, and if you have done in the walls of the box openings through which the cat can go in and out, delight will be complete.

 "There was in the house mice, and had a lot of pencils"  

Pens and pencils ЂЂЂ a real find for the cat. Only it's unlikely you'll be able to find these items if they fall into the clutches of a cat. In the best case ЂЂЂ the next general cleaning. Therefore, having a house cat, the better to hide things, "betraying" her a few toys as well, except ЂЂЂ sorry for your favorite kisuli?

 

one of the few items with which the cat will never tire of playing ЂЂЂ this beam of light, which is impossible to catch. For the red dot from a laser pointer our pets are ready to be worn indefinitely, trying to catch it, but whether it is useful to them? The laser pointer is dangerous because the beam can reach the eyes of animals and damage the retina. It is much safer to replace it with the sunbeams, which use mirrors can be done in countless.

 

walk in the park or woods, do not forget the abandoned house fluffy darling. Pick up for it a few acorns or small bumps, and you will see how it will be grateful for the opportunity to drive through the apartment these wonderful gifts of nature. Just remember to wash them before you give a cat to be torn apart.

 But in general, anything!  

clothespins, lids from plastic bottles, potatoes and walnuts in the shell, so even simple pieces of paper can become great toys for your pet. You do not need to invent a subject to offer your cat to play. It will find its own, and believe me, you do not ask.

 

Keep in mind that all the toys for cats and ЂЂЂ purchase, and hand made ЂЂЂ can be divided into two groups: those with which the cat can be allowed to play one, and those with whom it is better not to leave the cat alone, or even give it to play with them only from the master's hand. For example, the rod and tied on a rope items, teasers, mahalki with feathers and other small details, you should not leave the cat when you're not next to it. Carefully inspect the purchased toy, and not finding it in small parts, winding the rope which can randomly unwound, the parts that can easily be Gnaw and swallow safely let her pet. The rest, play, put them in a safe place.

 

Do not allow the animal to play with dangerous items (such that you can swallow or which may get lost), even in your presence. Avoid playing with electric cables (if the kitten tries to play with them, apply the repellent from the pet shop or a means citrus juice, and the best option to remove the wires ЂЂЂ in special boxes), with plastic bags and balls of yarn. Do not leave dangerous items that a cat may want to play, within her reach, when you leave the house for a long time. Teach your children than you can play with the cat, but it is better to keep away from her.

 

Do not forget that the best cat toys do not exist. In the game you need variety, so in order that the animal was moving and playful, it is necessary again and again for him to invent new opportunities to realize their needs in the game. In addition, old toys, especially my favorite, very quickly fail, because the claws and teeth has not been canceled.
