We tried out the newspaper dance and she loves it! Best results with sending her wind-up rolling mouse under the newspapers. My cat loves it when I blow bubbles for her to pounce on. The first time I blew bubbles at her she ran away in fear, but the next time she made it into a game. I play where is the cat kibble. I use two small cups and hide a kibble under one cup.
The cat has to point or knock over one cup to look for the kibble. If he misses then he has to realize it is under the other cup and touch that one to earn a kibble.
It was a step by step process for him to learn but he did learn to play the game. Be careful with string - if they swallow it can easily kill by entangling in the intestines.
It's one of the major reasons why cats have to be put down early. You're welcome, Samantha. I don't have a laser pointer, but I have tried those toys that light up and flash angry bird images when you turn it on.
One of my cats actually jumped on the angry bird when I flashed it on the floor. It was hilarious! Nice comments. My cat loves the hide and seek and will chase me and I chase it too.
It will hide under the curtain and poke its head watching me and then will scare me with her sudden run and little 'tag' and then she will peg it.
She also loves her fishing rod and her long cuddly snake which she loves 'killing' and booting to bits with her back legs. Her new favourite has been the cheapest, free in fact. A long piece of sellotape srunched together into a ball shape which makes a crackling noise. She just loves playing footpaw with it and loves chasing it when I flick it across the hall.
I will be getting a few ping pong balls which she will love I am sure. I love playing with my cat! She gets overly excited with toys, especially those little pom poms lol. Our cats absolutely love the hair scrunchies. The ones that look like a rubber band but covered in fabric..
They love to bat it around the room and pounce on it It's funny to watch because they're all over the room batting at it and following it to wherever it goes. My cat Bazooka Zookie likes to bite my toes when they stick out from under the blanket while i sleep! Hi, Graciiacey. Has she already gotten comfortable in her new surroundings? Cats won't play when they are cautious and unsure. But they're also naturally curious and playful so she should warm up to playtime in the future.
I just got my first cat and I've been trying to find toys for it to keep entertained with. Trouble is, no matter what I try, my cat, Percy is 1 and a female by the way doesn't attempt to engage anything I put in front of her. I try to "teach" her how to play with the things, but for some reason she won't play. It almost seems like she doesn't know how. I love my kitty and she is a very affectionate girl and is always willing to cuddle with me though.
Do you know why this may be? I am honored to have your approval, Luci. Your human is very lucky to have you. Oh yeah, one of my cats loves the scrunchy sound of that plastic seal from bottles. She bats it around and even carries it to bed with her. I told my human to look at this website, and we had a good 2 hours of play, and half an hour of me trying to get out of the bath Anyway, thank you soooo much, I was getting so tired of playing with pipe cleaners!
Anyway, must go and find my human, we're playing hide and seek!! My cats all 14 of them come running from wherever they may be in the house when they hear the opening of a new milk carton or sports drink. I pry the little plastic ring left on the container, throw it on the floor, stand back and watch the games begin. Keeps them entertained for hours and hours.
How simple can it be? My cat used to love the paper bag game! One thing I always had to warn guests though - when he can see your hand he knows it's a game - when he's in the bag he can't and the claws come out! You have to be quick otherwise you will get scratched!
We had wooden floors and it was quite funny to see how far the bag would slide once my cat jumped in it! Hi, stylezink.
One of my cats does the same. He even gets this crazed look on his face that just makes me burst out laughing all the time! Ah, the good times we have with our cats. I really like your hub! Many people don't realize that cats can play around just like dogs. I have done everything you listed except the ping pong ball. You have my wheels turning, ha ha ha. I have the perfect long hall way that I can use to have the ball bounce like crazy!
I can't wait to try it! My cats likes to chase me too! One of them makes these crazy sounds and his hair gets all puffy in from the excitement. Check toys regularly so ensure nothing has become loose or worn or have any sharp edges. Never leave plastic bags around, they are sure to be curious with the rustling noise and start investigating. Ensure there are no small items such as small plastic pieces, elastic bands, old balloons etc around. If you make a home-made toy, ensure all materials used are safe and nontoxic.
Avoid adding any small decorative pieces which could come off when played with, your cat may swallow them. Anything that rolls can be fun! Small balls, a cotton reel, a cork, a Christmas bauble or some foil scrunched into a ball are all great to use as long as they are clean and safe in case your cat tries to lick it.
Send it rolling across the room and let your cat chase it. After a few chases let your cat enjoy the ball in her possession. A toy mouse at the end of a wand with string are always great fun. Try to move the mouse to mimic real life movements of a prey. A wind-up toy is great too, wind them up, watch them race off on their own with kitty in hot pursuit.
There are even remote-control mouse toys suitable for cats on the market too. Cats can rarely resist anything that dangles or moves so anything tied to a piece of string — a colourful feather, a cork or even a ball of paper — can create a great prey catching playtime. Some cats cannot resist shredding some newspaper to bits! The crinkly noise of the paper is fun and interesting.
You can get involved too by rustling a pen or pencil underneath the paper or start moving the paper slowly if she is sitting on it. Pompoms are so easy, and fun, to make. If you have children as well as cats, making pompoms is a great activity for a rainy afternoon.
The pompoms could be in for a rough time therefore ensure the centre of the pompom is tied securely. There are also plenty of readymade versions available to buy if you prefer. The bright colours and the lightness of the pompom ball is usually a big hit with little kittens. Supervise your cat at all times with pompom play and ensure pompoms are kept out of reach when finished.
Do not let your cat chew the wool. In our household we gave our cats our baby activity mat after it was no longer needed for the children. A great use of toy recycling. Your local charity shops may have such toys for sale or simply make your own!
Simply attach small toys securely to lengths of ribbon or string and attach to something solid. Or just relax in a fun cat game for kids here on Silvergames. You can choose to play as a cute little kitten, that wants to cuddle and be your pet. Or you can elect to become an imposing lion that is hunting wild animals. It is no secret that everyone, be it girls or boys, enjoy free cat games. One reason being, that the variety of cat games out there is huge.
You could spend hours upon hours trying them all out, and not get bored. Looking for a more straightforward object to entertain your cat? Some crumpled paper will do the trick. Just crush a piece of paper into a ball that can be rolled across the floor. Cats love to chase after the ball as much as they love the sound crumpled paper makes. Just be sure to keep the ball of paper away from your cat when you're done playing, or you might quickly have a confetti-covered floor.
Along with being lots of fun, these games offer your cat the necessary exercise. Try out each of these activities to see which one they enjoy most, and play with them a few times per week for a happy kitty. Keep your feline busy with these stimulating activities.
