7 Toys To Keep Your Cat Happy And Engaged

Ever seen your cat sit, meow and stare at you as if you’re the one who’s invented boredom? But then again, they’re not completely wrong. Our kitties originated in the wild and when we brought them to our homes as the most cherished family members, the responsibility of finding them different sources of fun came to us.

Cats need more hours of stimulating playtime than you think. Their idea of fun is to run around, catwalk, think about their next prey and finally use their kitty claws and canine to do what they do best – hunt. Cat toys help tap into these instincts, keeping them happy, engaged and satisfied.

Here are 7 cat toys (in no particular order) that we consider the best to keep your cat waaaay away from boredom:

1. Meowspin Interactive Toy For Cat With Sensor

Playful paws aren’t satisfied with the normal. They need something more to keep their clever minds happy.

Plus, it’s made of tough stuff so it can handle those enthusiastic pounces. With two cute feathers to catch your kitty’s eye, it’ll bring out their inner hunter and keep them active and entertained.

Tip: First, offer your cat a variety of toys so you can see which type he or she likes best. Toys that your cat can catch are preferred

3. Meowspin Interactive Cat Toy – (With Catnip Inside)

4. Squeaky Tennis Balls For Cats

What’s commonly unknown is cats adore balls of different sizes, just like dogs. They might not fetch it for you, but they LOVE to chase after them. Squeaky Tennis Balls For Cats aren’t your ordinary tennis balls. This set of 4 bouncy cat balls comes with an in-built enticing squeaker that encourages active play, gets them to do some physical exercise and enhances your cat’s overall well-being.

5. Meow Mix Play Pack Assorted Catnip Cat Toy – Pack of 10

Engaging, captivating and 10 times the fun! For cats who live for the joy of play, our Meow Mix Play Pack Assorted Catnip Cat Toy comes in an assortment of 10. It has everything your cat will purr for – catnip balls, cosy felt toys, soft spike balls, crinkle paper balls and more such sensory delights! Happiness does come in small packages, after all.

Tip: Some cats react to catnip while some cats don’t. Here’s a small experiment you can conduct at home. Before introducing a catnip toy to your cat, try feeding them a little bit of catnip (non-toxic shrub). Observe how they react to it. If they like it, only then invest in catnip toys. If you see your cat not showing any reaction to the catnip, chances are they do not have the genetic receptors to feel its effects.

6. Whirlwind Matatabi Interactive Cat Toy

For it’s made of matatabi sticks that produce a scent so captivating and calming, that cats can’t simply resist!

Tip: If your cat suddenly becomes a whirlwind of energy right before dinner, it’s a sign that playtime might be in order! A lively game is the perfect appetiser to build up their appetite and make mealtime even more enjoyable.

7. Tinkle Tail Matatabi Wand Cat Toy

How can we talk about cat toys and not mention the magic wand that makes your cat’s wishes come true with just a swish and a flick? Tinkle Tail Matatabi Wand Cat Toy brings out your pet’s most instinctive reactions as it mimics playing with a real bird. As you wave this magic wand over them, you’ll find their paws get active, eyes all excited and butts wiggling with anticipation as they finally pounce.

The wand features matatabi, which is sure to grab your little hunter’s attention and help reduce anxiety. The hanging part of the toy, often designed as a small animal, insect, or feather, serves as the “prey” that cats love to catch with their paws. The wooden part of these toys acts as a barrier, keeping the “prey” out of reach and your hands safe from your cat’s playful claws.
