Types of Solo Toys
There are so many options to give your cat the need for independent play. Well review some of the popular ones here.
Crazy Circles & Ball in TrackThese kinds of toys drive cats NUTS. The basic idea is to place a ball that wont come out in a circular or path design and have the cat go at it. These are great for kittens, smarty pants cats that like a good puzzle, and cats that need more playtime.
Cat n** Mice and Assorted Small: Appease the HunterCat n** mice are great additions to any cats life. I refer to catnip mice as all those little things that the cat can toss, stuff under the couch, and the human can step on. These are generally: the mice, mylar balls, little cloth filled things with bells, etc. The cat can stalk, hunt, toss and generally drag these through out the house.
Puzzle ToysDo you have one of those cats that tend to be off the walls when no ones home? The little smartypants that will wreck the bathroom tissue roll? Knock down lamps? Cause chaos and distruction? Invest in a puzzle toy (or several). These kinds of toys build off the intelligence of felines to keep them entertained. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes and of varying difficulty. They come in the form of feeders or hider type toys. (see feeders in the Cat Essentials Sub Forum). These can get your kitty moving if he needs to lose some added weight, and can perplex a cat to no end.
*Disclaimer: I have not yet found a puzzle type toy that has outsmarted my Freyja*
