There are many cat toys available in the market but sometimes they become unreasonably expensive. Your cat certainly needs a toy to play with and at the same time to kill time. Toys do amuse them and fill their time or keep them out of trouble. If you find the toys that are available in the market a bit too expensive for you then, you can always make a cat toy by your self.
There are many things lying in your house that you can make something for your cat. Here are some tips you can follow to make some toys for your feline friend. Though it may take some time but it will make your cat happy.
Toys from box
For this you need an empty small cardboard box. Seal it all and then, cut a hole in a circular way in one end. Make the hole a bit bigger than the cat’s paw. Put some catnip or balls either by making it from small tissues. They will love to take out those small balls or treats out of the box with their paws.
Dangling cat toys
Cat loves to play with anything that dangles. It is very easy to make the dangling cat’s toy. If you have any old small toys then, attach it to a string and put it in a door knob. Try to attach the toy to the string in a strong grip so that it does not fall out while your cat is playing it.
If you want to make the dangling toy more fun then, take a piece of bamboo or any stick. Tie elastic in the end of the stick and on the other end of the elastic tie the old toys. You can put this in front of the cat and see how they play.
Toys from kitchen rolls
You can make any toys from the kitchen rolls. Take the inner roll and seal it on one end. You can put some dry treats, catnips or small toys inside the tube. Before you give it to the cat just shake it once and mixed all the goodies. Place it on the floor and see how your cat takes those goodies out by playing it and also having the treats at the same time.
Scratching logs
Get a dry log with barks still on it. Sprinkle some catnip on it and see how your cat loves to scratch it. Keep it in a corner of the house just in case you don’t want to fall on it.
Toys from foil
Take about 6 inches aluminium foil in a square shape and put some catnip in it and then crumple it into a ball. Most cats will prefer this than any expensive cat toys.
