What toys can I make for my cat to play with using house hold items?
My cat is nearly 3 years old ( in November) and she gets lonely and bored alot of times when I’m busy and can’t play or pet her. She doesn’t like marbles or balls, she grew out of them, and I want to make her her own toy she could play with on her own and have fun. I can’t buy any toys because my parents won’t take me but I really want to make her something special so she won’t be bored and lonely.
But she’s afraid of almost everything so it can’t be that big.
Cats tend to be so fickle, that it’s usually best to NOT put that much effort into it! Try out a few things to see what grabs her attention:
- Dangle a shoelace or string
- Attach a bell (or something with a little noise) to a stick
- Try a bow used for gift wrapping
- Toss her the cap of bottled water/milk
- My cats love to carry around hair binders
- Make a ball out of gift wrapping paper (so it crinkles)
- Blow bubbles near her
- Any flash light or small laser light can provide hours of entertainment
Good job looking after your cat’s needs
