Automatic Cat Toy: Cats Lose Their Minds for These!

By

A cat’s LOVE for chasing and “play hunting” is legendary. The look of concentration they get in their eyes, their “don’t pet me now, I’m busy” vibe, and their single-minded pursuit of what they’re after all amuse and astound me.

Such predators!

Interactive toys like this one prove especially interesting and challenging to them – emotions that are especially beneficial to indoor cats who, usually, don’t have a great deal of opportunities to exercise their hunting skills.

This wonderfully colorful (and very affordable) automatic cat toy (Amazon link) would make a perfect gift idea for any cat in your life – whether the gift is for Christmas, a birthday, or simply a “thank you for being mine” gift.

My favorite kind to give!

This Youngever Set of Cat Toys (Amazon link) is exactly what our cats would ask Santa for. So much colorful fun just waiting to be had! Two way tunnel (love the bright, fun color), feather teaser, fluffy mice, cat string, fun balls to chase after…

What’s not to love?!

This set of cat toys is 24 pieces in all. Our cats love sets like this. When they come in the Amazon box, I call them into the room and we open it up together. Then they act like human kids on Christmas morning! Speaking of which, this set would be purrfect for any cats on your list as well as any cat lovers.

After all, we cat lovers are never happier than when our babies are happy and playing.

Cat Toys: Best Variety Pack I’ve Found is on Amazon

By

Huck with Toy

A few years ago I found a way to BOTH make Christmas last all year long AND be able to actually afford to get the things for my family (with fur and without) without breaking the bank over a span of two months: I buy things throughout the year and hide them safely away. Most of my shopping is done on Amazon – which is where I bought this great Cat Toys Variety Pack from.

I intended to save it for Christmas morning and open it for our cats… but… well… as you can see, things don’t always go as planned.

When UPS brought the Amazon box, the cats came running. They know that an UPS delivery always, always, always means they get a new box to play with. When they gathered around, I couldn’t help but think what a fun afternoon it’d be if I gave them this gift early.

As you can see, the thought of it was more than I could fight off and we had a little Christmas in May party right then and there!

Dokkie and Cat Toys

Their excitement and joy was palpable and reminded me of kids… the ones that walk on two feet (generally) and aren’t covered with hair… on Christmas morning. Furry kids get just as excited – going in circles, not knowing which toy to play with first.

If you have cats, you know exactly what I mean when I say that I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – them or me.

Babies with Toys

This is a wonderful Cat Toys Variety Pack – it was even better than I’d expected it to be. For such a great price (between $12 – $13), I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect from each individual toy. I was surprised and delighted to see that the quality was excellent. Each toy is very, very well made and is standing up to intense play perfectly!

Cats with Toys

 

Features:

  • Contains Assorted 20 toys.
  • Keep your cat busy when you are away.
  • Give your cat a way to release his energy with this combo pack of entertaining toys. Featuring feathers, balls and catnip, mice and more this pack is the perfect choice for your furry friend.
  • supervise your pet. For play only. Not a child”s toy. Toy should be removed and replaced if excessive wear or damage occurs.
  • Holiday, birthday or everyday, this cat treats/toys gift set is just what your kitty ordered.

I tried to take several pictures to show off the variety of toys – as well as our babies enjoying them… but it’s very difficult to photograph excited, fast-moving cats!

Delilah, Dokkie, and Huck with Toys

The picture at the bottom is of Nacho and was taken a few hours after the toys had arrived and had been played with fiercely. Each cat was worn out (just like human kids!) and had found their own favorite place to recuperate and conserve energy. Nacho was in his favorite bed, resting up from all the activity – I pranced one of the toys in front of him and he sat right up.

Sure enough, he hopped back up and decided it was playtime again. The girls (one at a time) all joined in and we had another round.

In the weeks since, the toys are played with again and again. I like to gather them all together and present them like I did that day – the excitement is the same each time.

Again… I am not sure who enjoys it all the most, but I think she might just be typing these words.

Collapsible 3-Way Cat Tunnel: One of Our Favorite Toys for Cats and Kittens

By

Two of our cats recently had kittens – you can surely imagine the crazy fun we’ve had the past few months! All of our cats love to play, but kittens treat playing like oxygen – if they’re awake, they’re looking for something to get into.

We bought them a collapsible cat tunnel and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bigger hit. Kittens and grown cats, alike, are losing their minds over this tunnel! They carry toys into the tunnel, run through it top-speed, hide out inside the tunnel (their hide and seek games are especially epic), and even fall asleep inside – right in the middle of playing.

I’ve gotten a kick out of watching the kittens play with it, but I think I’ve gotten even more joy from watching the older cats “become kittens again” by playing with it. Tunnels like this stimulate a cat’s creativity and heighten their shenanigans. Trust me, it’s really something to behold.

Playtime isn’t just fun for your cat (and you), it’s wonderful exercise AND keeps his/her mind active and keeps them from becoming bored. A bored cat is a miserable cat – toys are the best way to keep that from happening.

Tunnels have an advantage on a lot of cat toys – they can be enjoyed (and will be enjoyed) by the cat even when its humans aren’t home.
