Ideas


Has anybody got any toy ideas for indoor cats, as my two are indoor cats I am always trying to find ways of keeping them amused?

All ideas greatly received!

Re: Ideas


Ours are indoor kitties, so I do havee some ideas.

-Wrapping paper works well, especially in this season

-Some foil, crinkleled up with a string tied to it, and dragged around is great fun.

- A empty film case with the top still on makes for hoursof play when you have a cat who likes batting things around. You can also put a hole in the bottom and tie a piece of string to it and pull it around for the cat.

- The traditional ball of yarn is great fun, especially when the person at the other end is trying to roll it up or untangle it.

- The inside of a toilet paper roll.

- Some fur (rabbit is best) tied to a piece of string and hung up somewhere so it dangles. If you are lucky enough to get a whole pelt then you may see the cats jump for it and dangle madly in midair

- A smallish bouncy ball, like a pingpong ball, is fun.

thats all I can think of at the moment hope it helps

Some fab ideas Kate - thank you so much - I like the sounds of the empty film case - we have wodden floors so I think they will love that as it will fly across the rooms!

Will update on you on the outcome.

Kate seems to have covered quite a few but I still say the best thing to keep your cat occupied this time of the year is a.............

Abbi I just thought my MIL's kittens are indoor cats.

They've wound a piece of string around an empty kitchen roll and at the other end they have tied a tied a crumpled up piece of paper. They go nutts for it.
