Cat toys provide essential mental enrichment and encourage physical activity for indoor cats. They are also a great way for you to strengthen your bond with your cat through playing together. A lack of mental stimulation and enrichment in cats can lead to problem behaviours such as scratching furniture and inappropriate urination around the house.
At Pet Circle we stock a huge selection of cat toys available - from interactive cat toys to laser pointers and kitty tunnels - you can find be sure to find something for your pet.
Indoor cats benefit from toys that cater to their natural instincts and keep them engaged as playing is crucial for cats as it promotes physical exercise, mental stimulation, and overall well-being. Interactive toys, such as puzzles that provide mental stimulation and cat feather wands offer physical activity and interactive play. Balls, especially those with bells, and motorized toys like robotic mice, also help to stimulate their hunting instincts. For longer lasting play catnip-filled toys can captivate cats for extended periods.
People often ask why their cat won't play with the toys they have just bought for them and it can be frustrating when your cat isn't showing any interest in your new toys. This is because cats can have very different individual preferences when it comes to toys!
Toys are designed to provide cats with mental and physical stimulation, mimicking a variety of natural activities such as hunting that would occur outdoors. Cats and kittens that are more food-orientated will love treat dispensing toys such as the Catit Senses Food Tree. While cats that like to hunt and interact with you may enjoy teaser toys like the Dr Noys Swizzle Bird. Sometimes your cat may also need you to show them how the toy works and capture their attention. Experiment with different toys to see what kind of toys your cat takes to!
Cats can also get bored of toys quite easily. To prevent your cat from getting bored make sure you have a selection of different toys that you can rotate and put away after a play session with them. This keeps the toys fresh and exciting for the next time.
