Playing with your cat is a fantastic way to bond, laugh, and keep your feline friend happy. Every cat enjoys different types of play, so discovering what excites your cat is key. Here are seven tips and ideas to ensure your cat has a blast and stays healthy.
1. Play a Fun Cat Game with a Cat Toy
Keep a basket of cat toys at the ready and spend at least 15 minutes at a time, two times per day, playing with your cat. This provides them with physical exercise and mental stimulation, helping to stave off boredom and obesity.
Try a variety of cat toys to keep things interesting:
- Cat wand toy: A string-on-a-stick teaser toy like the Eco-Kitty Catcher.
- Laser pointer or light toy: Stimulate your cat's predatory instincts.
- Fishing rod toy: Engage in an interactive hunting game with the Eco-Cat Fisher.
- Jingle bell cat toy: Let kitty watch, plan, chase, and capture toys like the Eco-Catty Pillar and Eco-Kitty Comet, which are made from wool and have a fun metal jingle that keeps your feline intrigued and playfully stimulated.
Make sure they end with the satisfaction of a good catch whenever possible.
2. Hide-and-Seek
Engage your cat in hide-and-seek by either hiding yourself and calling them or stashing their favourite toys or treats around the house. This game can stimulate their hunting instincts, providing both mental and physical exercise. Hide one of your cat’s favourite toys to make the game even more exciting.
3. Watch “Cat TV” Together
Either put on an aquarium or bird channel on your television or set up a bird feeder in front of a window to entertain the kitty. Watch kitty’s show along with them. There are many videos online created specifically for cats—just play one and watch your furry child become captivated.
4. Use Catnip Toys
Try to choose natural or organic catnip toys. They can help maintain your kitty's interest and ensure safe play. Our Eco-Mouser, created from natural hemp canvas and stuffed with natural catnip, is a perfect example. Just remember, not all cats react to catnip, but those that do will have endless fun.
5. Blow Bubbles
Bubbles aren’t just for kids. Cats love to chase and pop bubbles too. Use pet-safe bubbles to create a fun and interactive playtime. Watching your cat try to catch all the bubbles can be as entertaining for you as it is for them.
6. Buy a New Toy
