Unless your house is home to a bunch of kittens, your pet must get lazy and lonely because of lack of playmates. It’s unfair to deprive your kitty of some healthy playtime activities. Although adopting another cat is a bigger commitment; if you can’t do that, all you need to do is craft some toys for your kitty.
Here are some creative ideas to make toys for your cat.
Toy Mouse
If all those episodes of Tom & Jerry have stuck with you, you’d know that a kitten loves nothing more than a rat to play with. While it’s a myth that cats love to prey on rats for just meals, they like to play with their prey as it’s a primary predatory instinct.
This is why you should try creating a toy mouse for your cat. All you need is a softy cloth or felt paper. Stitch it into a small pillow with our sewing materials. Fill it up with stuffing and give it the shape of a small round body of a rat. Knit a long, thin tail with wool or thread and attach it at the end. Add details like googly eyes to give the toy a more realistic appeal and let your cat enjoy!
Pom Pom Delight
Cats will lurch at anything and everything that’s small, moving and peeking in the corners. You would’ve noticed how they jump at tassels hanging from clothes and entangle their claw nails with them. That’s all you need to make the perfect toy for your kitty.
Take a few colorful pom poms from our art supplies and sew them together in any arrangement. Add a few beads so that they dangle from them. Leave a long trail behind so that you can control and move the toy and play with your pet!
You’ll see how excited your furry friends get to see those fur balls. They’ll keep playing with them for hours until it’s time for you to make a new toy.
Muslin Dolls
As long as it’s soft enough for your cat to dig their nails into, it’s perfect for their purr-y playtime. This is why our muslin dolls are perfect as cat toys. You can go as creative as you want with them and you’ll see how wild your kitty goes with them. Cover them with sequins, pom poms, or wool. The fluffier, the better.
The best way to get your cat sprinting across the floor to reach out for the dolls is to hang them at a teasingly low height. This will motivate your cat to show some somersaults while trying to grasp the toy, and you to capture them in boomerangs!
