Automated Cat Toy: Endless Fun and Entertainment for Your Cat(s)!

By

Okay, this is ingenious! The BurgeonNest Automated Cat Toy (Amazon link) is perfect for cats who love to play and be entertained (almost all of them, in other words). I can see all of my own cats loving this toy!

Like many cat families, we have inside cats as well as outside cats. The prime “indoor” living arrangement is a “first come, first inside” thing in our family. The ones who live inside with the family have been around longer and, frankly, have said “NO MORE ROOMS AVAILABLE,” so the rest of the family live just on the other side of the door in wonderfully constructed cat houses, a patio, and a carport all their own.

The indoor cats have some advantages and the outdoor cats have some advantages. One of the biggest advantages the outdoor family members have is endless entertainment, mental stimulation, physical activity, and an ever-changing environment to keep them sharp, engaged, and interested.

When it comes to indoor cats, we have to stay on our toes by providing similar advantages for them. Frequently adding new toys (and taking old ones in and out of the rotation), moving toys, new games, etc. help immensely. Busy, entertained, and mentally stimulated cats are healthier AND happier.

Interactive Catnip Rug: Colorful, Fun, and Downright Ingenious

By

My grandbabies have a few interactive toy rugs they LOVE…. and the adorable thing is, so do our cats! When the babies leave their rugs spread out on the floor and wander to another room, inevitably a few cats come to check it out and stay a while.

That’s why I searched out play rugs just for cats a few days ago on Amazon. I was THRILLED to find this Interactive Catnip Rug (Amazon link) and knew I had to add it to the 2021 Christmas Gift Ideas for Cats lineup!

This colorful beauty is just perfect in every way. The interactive play mat is “inspired by the magic of a nighttime garden” and it’s simply beautiful.

The soft and cushy catnip playmat is actually a stroke of genius and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more like this before. When we buy catnip, we always sprinkle a little bit under the blankets on our cats’ favorite beds and resting spots. They love it and it’s great fun to watch them enjoying it BUT it’s unbelievably messy! Having a ready-made, neat and tidy catnip rug is ideal and I can’t wait to see our cats enjoying it!

  • The scratching post is well integrated into the cactus and is ornamental. It adds a touch of green to your corners and also adds a fun place to your cat.

I Threw These Catnip Toys RIGHT Into My Amazon Cart…

By

Like most cats, our perpetual toddlers are obsessed with catnip toys. We buy them frequently for them because they get almost as big a kick out of playing them as we do watching them play.

I was on Amazon, earlier, looking at French Butter Crocks of all things when the “inspired by your buying history” got me sidetracked with (shocking!) cat toys. As soon as I saw this set of 5 Catnip Toys (Amazon link), I just threw it right into the cart… it landed right on top of the French Butter Crock.

They’re available in three different multi-color combinations and each is great-looking.

I love the size of these catnip toys – they’re bigger than a lot of toys and I know our cats will get a huge kick out of them. I also love that they come in a pack of five – if your house is a multi-cat house, like our house, you’ll love having plenty to go around. If you have one spoiled rotten baby, you’ll have a nice rotation of catnip toys for him/her to enjoy that’ll last for months.

Features:

  • Perfect Gift: The cat chew toy has catnip inside a breathable fabric, allowing cats smell the catnip easily.
  • Bite resistant: Fine suture of this cat toy makes it durable for biting.
  • Safe and High Quality Material: More Durable Cotton Linen
  • Stuffed with Soft PP Cotton and Natural Catnip
  • Helping reduce your pets’ boredom and separation anxiety by killing time with the chew toy and the catnip toys for cats are ideal for cats to play indoor or outdoor.

Of course you buy toys for your cat(s) for Christmas – those of us blessed enough to have cats in our lives treat them like the tiny furry children that they are!

If you’re anything like me, you not only buy them toys for Christmas, you’re often guilty of giving them some of their toys early!

Cat Tunnels: Endless and Exciting Fun for Cats!

By


All good cat parents know just how important it is to provide plenty of fun and excitement for their “babies.” Cat boredom is a very real and very sad reality. A healthy and happy cat is one who doesn’t have a boring day in his or her life!

Naturally this means making sure our cats have interesting toys, furniture of their own, and different opportunities to explore and play.

Cat tunnels aren’t just fun for cats, they’re CRAZY fun for cats. The 3-Way Leopard Print Cat Tunnel pictured above is available in the leopard print as well as a variety of other patterns/colors.  Floral and giraffe print are just a few of the others.

 

A Few Tips for Providing Exciting Fun for Your Cat:

  • Rotate your cat’s toys (keeping their absolute favorite toy available at all times, however!). Tuck some away and bring out new ones – this keeps your cat interested and excited. It also helps the toys last longer.
  • Buy some catnip spray to add a little extra fun to your cat’s toys. Catnip Spray is also great when introducing your cat to a new bed, cat tree, or scratching post.
  • Always, always, always keep safety in the front of your mind. Check and double-check all cat toys to make sure there are not parts that can get stuck in your cat’s throat. Also, keep in mind that gift wrapping ribbon is a huge chocking hazard.
  • Never underestimate a good old-fashioned cardboard box. My cats often enjoy the box their toys or furniture arrive in as much as the gift, itself. Fortunately, the toys and furniture last longer… they look a lot better too!
