Kittens are extremely playful. You will build a much stronger relationship with your feline if you play with him or her daily. The tips in this article will help you to pick the most entertaining cat toys.

How do you keep your cat amused? Most cats are not like a dog that you can play catch and fetch with. To keep your cat captivated and interested in playing with you, you want to have a stimulating and dynamic environment. One way that you can accomplish this is to only have a few toys out at a time and then rotate the toys periodically to keep your kitten’s interest. Expensive toys are not necessary. String, spools, balls and boxes make great cat toys.

Kittens use play to learn about their world. Watching your kitten stalk a ball, stop, and then pounce on it is fun. You may find balls rolling all over your house! Two kittens are even more entertaining as you can watch them play with each other, toys, and anything that moves.

Make sure that the toys you give your cat are safe. Even though most cats are not destructive like dogs, felines can manage to tear toys apart and possibly eat the pieces. The toy should be made of nontoxic materials, and have no small pieces that could easily fall off and choke your cat. Be sure that there are no sharp parts that could injure your cat.

Technology is making its way into cat toys. One example is remote-controlled mice. Many kittens do not like the sound of such toys, so don’t be surprised if your cat does not like them. Laser pointers offer hours of kitty fun. Your cat will chase that red light all over your house for as long as you are willing to play. Too much of this type of play may only serve to frustrate your kitten since there is nothing to sink claws into. You can even find cat videos designed especially for felines. Before buying these videos, you might try a human video you already have that features cats like Milo and Otis. Your kitten may find these flicks equally entertaining.

Provide toys that allow your kitty to jump and climb or get your feline to move around These types of toys are often favored by cats. Other contraptions like the ball that rolls around inside the round tube without letting your cat capture the ball will keep your kitten intrigued for hours.

The secret to entertaining your kitten and stimulating its mind is to continually provide both physical and mental challenges. Look for safe toys that promote activity and/or stimulate their minds to keep your kitten entertained for hours.
