Hi everybody,
Today we’ve teamed up with Dezi & Roo to speak a bit concerning the function of cat toys! Their beneath publish initially appeared on their very own weblog here.
Toys are supposed to be performed with. Cat toys aren’t any exception, particularly the Dezi & Roo brand. Their toys are all made along with your cat’s pure instincts in thoughts. But have you ever ever thought of why?
One of the primary causes they maintain speaking about toy rotation on this weblog is that cat toys rack up some severe put on and tear. It’s essential to modify out your cat’s toys to maintain them engaged, but additionally as a result of, over time, their toys will put on out.
And that’s okay.
If you’re budget-conscious, it may be tempting to purchase something touted as “indestructible” or that comes with a “lifetime assure” however half the enjoyable to your feline pals is within the destruction.
Buying an “indestructible” cat toy is like shopping for a toddler a doll to placed on show however by no means performed with. But the enjoyable of dolls is in dressing them up and pretending. Toy vans are solely enjoyable if you happen to can run them up and down the wall, bannister, and windowsill. Isn’t it extra entertaining seeing it crash and burn than taking a look at it from afar?
We’d by no means count on kids to play with the identical toys their whole childhoods, so why ought to our cats be any completely different? They want selection. They want worn-out toys changed. They must play.
If you’ve ever watched a cat outdoor, you’ll discover they are going to sharpen their claws on a tree trunk, make a comfortable mattress in a pile of pine straw, and shred falling leaves. She makes use of the issues at her disposal and adapts to make them her personal. That’s as a result of even these extremely stimulated out of doors kitties must play, and sure, they’re damaging whereas doing it.
For indoor cats, it may be a matter of offering quite a lot of toys that they’ll “kill.” This will encourage your feline buddy to avoid furnishings (and also you) to play with the extra simply captured “prey” of their toys. Scratchers and play tunnels, even kickers and wand toys—they’re all made to be performed with, and meaning over time they’ll want alternative.
But that’s okay. If you’re shopping for toys to final eternally, you’ll in all probability solely purchase a couple of and by no means want new ones. And we all know that cats want selection of their play. Change it up and watch what occurs.
