3 Sports to entertain your Cat

Filed under: Off the Wall — umwsc @ 10:05 pm

If you happen to be a feline lover, then from time to time it’s a good idea to play some games and sports with your cat. Playing with your cat or kitty is not just “play” to a him or her but gives him important mental and bodily stimulation, which is vital to the health of all animals, including humans. Remember good cat health is not only about what cat food you give them – although this too is key and requires some attention, but it also requires tending to your animal’s other needs. Speaking of other needs, I strongly urge you to obtain a premium cat food like Life’s Abundance for your precious friend if you are truly interested in his or her well-being. A premium cat food is critical in this day and age. The pet food recalls confirmed that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now back to the article:

To give your feline the required amount of entertainment, you need not spend much. As a matter of fact you can use some imagination plus household items to give the animal a little fun. Here we have enclosed a number of tips below which we hope will get you started:

1. Scrunch Up a Piece of Paper and Throw it to Them
One of my cats prefers a scrunched up piece of paper to any store bought toy, period.
Again, it’s the noise of the paper moving along on the floor, and the irregular shape that seems to draw my cat to the paper. She’ll run around with this piece of paper for a good twenty minute stretch.

3. Go Fishing with a String
Find a long piece of string and on the end place an object that your cat is attracted to – such as a balled up sock or stocking, tie it to your belt, and walk through the house. Cats love chasing things that are being dragged, and they will be intrigued by your new accessory.

4. Create a Tower
You don’t need to go to the pet store and buy a $70 cat tower to amuse your cats. You probably have the makings of a tower in your home or garage. Go and find some sturdy cardboard boxes (a few will do) and either place them side by side or stack them one on top of the other. Cut windows so that the cat will be able to move from one to another. Also make windows so that they can see outside. Place it up against a wall, and secure with furniture or masking tape to the wall, whichever works for you. Just make sure your base box is big enough to support and balance the two other boxes above it. Introduce your cat to the bottom box and watch Kitty explore. Note: If Kitty is hesitant to go in you can entice him in with a little cat food trail or cat food treats. I don’t know about you, but I think that there’s nothing better than watching a happy cat explore.
