Posts Tagged ‘cat toys’

I think most cat owners will agree with me when I say there is a pitiful range of interesting toys available for cats! Although a quick search on Ebay reveals a huge range of scratching posts, of a range of shapes and sizes, that’s about where the market stops. There is a huge gap in the market for more interactive toys; why won’t one of those Dragon’s Den type people invent some!

In an attempt to find something more interesting for my cats, I recently purchased a Panic Mouse for them at great expense. However, as excited as I was at this potentially intriguing toy, the same can’t be said for my cats, who took more interest in the noisy motor than in the mouse itself! After a few days of nothing interesting happening at all, apart from the wind-up mouse nearly taking my cat’s eye out (making me very glad I had pet insurance), I resorted back to laser pens and tin foil tied to string – they love it!

If you are after an interesting interactive toy, Zebedee mice are a classic, cheap and effective way to guarantee good results! Mice with catnip in them, cats go nuts for them, where they stare with blank disinterest at normal toy mice that smell of nothing!

So, this is an appeal to the market – will somebody please make some interesting cat toys!
