Creating your own cat toys

E-Mail Print

Here are some inexpensive ideas for cat playthings, most of which start with common household items. Remember, always supervise your cat when he is playing.

Darken a room and use a flashlight on the wall to get your cat to move around and follow the light.

Ping pong balls make fun toys as they are lightweight for your cats to bat around and they won't scratch your furniture or floors.

Use an old but clean sock with a knot in it to play with your cat. You can also put catnip in the sock to make it more fun.

Make a small fishing pole out of a stick (or use a child's plastic pole) and attach a fabric mouse or a feather at the end. They will love chasing the mouse or feather around as you move the bait.
