My kitten has one toy that he plays with regularly, and he is not interested in all of the others that we have bought for him. Does anyone have any toy suggestions for a finicky kitten?
Answers:
If you buy milk jugs (not cartons) you should let your kitty play with the little zip ties on the top that you pull off to open the milk. I've never seen a cat who doesn't enjoy playing with a milk tab.
A fake mouse - it will build up his instincts - add a little catnip to it - it will get him stoned, too
what kind of toy does he have? try the feathers on a stick that you can buy at the pet store, my cats go CRAZY for it, i don't know if you have fake mice, but the small ones that are really hairy seem to work the best,
Yes..Look at the local pet Supermaket for these nifty stuffed critters which are stuffed with CATNIP. The nifty thing about these is that it comes with EXTRA catnip and the bottom of the critter opens so you can put more in anytime you want. My 3 older cats went bonkers for these when we brought them home.
yes try putting cat nip in a sock they love it
Get him plenty of what he likes.
Here are a few of our kitties' favorites:
Furry Ball (made by Zanies)
Interactive wand with feathers %26/or mylar. A bell attached also attracts them!
A circular tube with a ball or mouse inside. They reach through the opening and it rolls around. They love this!
My cat loves anything with feathers on it, also a crumpled up piece of paper is a good and cheap toy most kittens like.
try some catnip toys my kitties love them. particularly the ones where you can refill the the catnip. or make a catnip toy with an old sock and a plastic baggie. just make sure you supervise his or her playtime.
Tape a saw blade onto the floor in front of your kitty's water bowl (a metal bowl is preferred) - then plug two wires into an electrical outlet - one wire to the saw blade and the other to kitty's water bowl. Watch kitty have loads of fun when his nose touches the water !
One toy I have found that they will play with a lot is actually the rubber thing around a gallon of milk. So all you need is a gallon of milk and when you open it just give it to him/her .
Cat's like simple things in live.Take a string tie it to the bottom of a chair and he will have fun forever.
Fake mice are fun, and the rings you get off of milk cartons (the whole round ones not the break away ones)
A laser pointer is good too.
You've got to get "Da Bird". I never met a cat who didn't love it. It's basically a rod with a string at the end of it. At the bottom of the string are these 2 feathers. When you wave the feathers back and forth using the rod, they actually spin and make a fluttering noise! Cats just go bonkers for it. Check it out on Amazon. They even sell replacement feathers for it, because most cats love it so much they eventually tear the feathers to shreds! LOL! Enjoy! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/b.
Our cats will play with golf and tennis balls, wads of paper, and this squishy ball I bought for them some time back. I also got them a ball that twitters when it rolls, and they love that too. The trouble is, they keep losing it!
shoe strings, those always worked great on my cats. Those little laser pointers are great too if you dont mind buying the batteries for them.
Do you know what everyone says about cat toys? "Instead of playing with the toy, my cat played with the box that the toy came in!"
Cats love free stuff. Give them bottle caps, rubber balls, empty boxes, shoelaces, balls of paper or foil, a piece of fabric with a few knots in it. anything at all. My cat is obsessed with cloth hair ties ("scrunchies.") You don't need to spend money on cat toys, but catnip might be a good investment :-) Have fun!
My cats love balls. We have some that have bells in them, some with a tail of feathers, some that belong to my kids (such as their baseballs). They also love any toys that my 6 year old leaves laying around on the floor!
My cat has been begging for his very own hamster. Of course Santa won't bring him one because he drank the milk %26 ate the cookies %26 left his own brand of "cookie" for Santa. So he makes do with bottle caps %26 foil balls - he hates store bought stuff - go figure!
