Title: Keeping them amused?
Post by: summerleft on January 03, 2009, 21:04:32 PM
OK  now we have moved to the estate from a countryside place, the kitties are becoming increasingly bored, theres nothing to kill kill kill

not even a mouse, so my hair bands, bottle tops, PC keyboard etc get a battering or stolen  :innocent:  so what can i do to give them something to do?

My boys go off and come in and sleep but the girls are the ones who wont wander off, Ive purchased toys but they dont want them typical!

Going by a lot of posts on here a cardboard box seems to be a novel way of keeping them amused or paper bags, sorry noy much help im afraid :hug:

Have you purchased any of the toys from the shop on here?  The cubes, Da toys and curly purries have particularly delighted my cat and others report the same.

The small tiny mice keep mine amused - think over the years we have gone through thousands - somewhere there is a huge stash of them :evillaugh:

The little balls you can put cat treats inside .... OK a few cat treats escape but soon get munched!!

What about a cat-tree climbing frame thingy ?

pingpong balls floating in a shallow dish of water (with a wide heavy base to prevent accidents) also work well (if the dog does not decide to join in). Because they are so light they will move of their own accord in an air current, thus attracting the cat back to play with them again and again. ;D
