Playing with your pet, whether it’s a dog or cat, is very important to their development. It keeps them in shape mentally and physically. It also helps to keep them out of trouble. When my cats don’t feel that they are getting enough attention, they will intentionally do things they know they will get in trouble for. Our one cat will get on our kitchen counter, which is a big NO-NO, and stay up there until we go by her; and then she runs to her toy! My friend’s puppy will also misbehave for attention. She will start to nip at different things (blankets, clothes, fingers) until she gets played with.
Our cats are very picky with what toys they will play with, so here are a few recommendations if you find yourself searching for the perfect toys. Pouncer’s favorite toy is a fuzzy pink glove. She has had this glove for 10 years and still carries it around everywhere with her; throwing it, attacking it, and howling at it. Isis’s favorite toy is a string from a hoodie. She will also carry it around with her and hide it from us until it magically reappears somewhere. Pyrrha’s favorite toys are bottle caps and this string attached to a plastic stick with leather strips attached to the end (I will be posting a picture with her and this toy). This toy is also my favorite because it requires minimal effort from me. I can sit comfortably while I play with her, or I can wedge it between the couch cushions and let her play with it by herself.
