01.06.2024 15:23

In modern pet stores you can find a lot of different toys for cats. Such a variety cannot but please, but the price for them often causes exclusively negative emotions.

Therefore, if you want to save money on buying toys and not let your cat get bored, prepare some entertainment for him with your own hands.

How to make a puzzle for a cat

To make cat puzzles, you will need a wide food container or a box with low sides. Cut holes in the lid of the product that are large enough for the animal's paw to pass through. Then fill the container with rustling, rattling, and rolling objects.

Remember that only those items that the cat cannot swallow are suitable for filling the container.

The principle of using the puzzle is that the cat will stick its paws into the holes, trying to get the prey.

Instructions for making a labyrinth with toys

This time you will need four plumbing pipe corners from the hardware store. All four elements are connected together and several rattling balls are placed inside (Kinder Surprise "yolks" with a "filling" of cereal will do).

Then you need to cut holes in the pipes through which the cat can play with the "prey". It is important to make the holes even so that the cat does not get hurt on the sharp edges of the plastic.

How to Make a Cat Fishing Rod

Cat lovers can avoid scratches by making a small fishing pole from a plastic or wooden stick about 50 centimeters long, strong rope or ribbon, and cat bait.

A soft felt or wool toy decorated with feathers, strips of fabric tied into a knot, an old sock with fabric scraps, or a wine cork with braid or ribbons can be used as bait.

Earlier we listed the signs that indicate that your cat has become attached to you.
