Best Toys For Lonely Cats. Find A Cat Toy To Keep Your Cat Happy
Do Cats Get Bored?
Is your cat's middle name "Trouble"?
If you have an energetic indoor cat who frequently misbehaves by scratching where it is not allowed or playing with whatever is in sight, this may be a sign of boredom. Does your cat wail a lot?
Our Burmese has an extremely loud meow which gets even louder if she is ignored! Boy, can she wail when ignored!!! Pick her up, stroke her and give her some attention and she purrs like crazy.
An indoor cat can get lonely and bored when you are not at home.
So, what to do about it?
To start with, make sure your cat has all the essentials such as food, water and a clean litter tray. Having a window to watch the outside from would be good stimulation. Use a cat tree near a window or two for your cat to have a high perch. Try leaving some boxes and paper bags around for it to play hide and seek in. Attach a fluffy ball or catnip toy to a string and suspend it from the ceiling for your cat to play with. Experiment with various small toys to find a cat toy or two that your cat likes to play with and then leave them scattered around the house such as on a tile or wooden floor, top of a box, on steps, etc. A good scratching post is a must. Try leaving the radio on softly. These are just some ideas for you to try. Maybe think of getting a companion for your cat.

Watching your cat chasing the light and never getting frustrated by not being able to "catch" the light is priceless.

Small Toys For Lonely Cats
Every cat has its own personality so it will be trial and error to find the toys that suits your cat.
For example, our Burmese loves playing with catnip toys but our big male cat could not be less interested. He prefers to just sit and watch!
Try a variety of small inexpensive toys to get an idea of what your cat is interested in playing with. Remember to try it out over a week or two as your cat may initially show interest and then dismiss it as not worthwhile!!!
For instance, the Bergan Catnip Hurricane Cat Toy ,which comes with catnip and 2 small balls, is a great idea for entertaining your cat. Just place the catnip in the center of the toy and give the 2 balls a whirl - the balls' rotation circulates the catnip's captivating aroma into the air. Now watch your cat sneak up on the balls, pounce and chase them back and forth.

Play Time!
Cats do not just need toys to play with, they also need somewhere to jump on, hide in, scratch and sleep.
If you do not want your curtains or carpets scratched to pieces, a suitable scratching pole would be advisable. Choose something tall enough so that they can stretch up while scratching. Our Burmese likes to scratch while almost hanging from the post!
The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post is simple in design and 32 inches high.
If you have limited space and want something for your cat to climb, scratch or play on, the
SmartCat Multi-Level Cat Climber is ideal as it fits on any door - easy to take off and put on.
The all in one Go Pet Club Cat Tree cat play house is perfect for placing near a window.
If you prefer a taller all in one, then the Armarkat Cat Tree is for you as it is 68 inches high. Perfect for exercising and entertaining your cat.
Interactive Cat Feeding Station
Entertain Your Cat While Feeding With These Cat Feeders
Another way of entertaining your cat is to make meal times fun by using an interactive feeder. With these feeders your cat has to "hunt" for its food. This means your cat will have fun trying to get every morsel of food.
Our cats love the Stimulo Cat Feeding Station and Activity Center and have great fun trying to get the food out of the containers with their paws. Even our lazy cat enjoys playing with this feeder.
Another choice is the PetSafe SlimCat Interactive Toy and Food Dispenser. Rolling the ball releases the food in small quantities. Great for overweight cats or cats that eat too fast.
The Catit Design Senses Treat Maze is another good feeder for overweight or fast eating cats as it makes them work for their food.
The Good Pet Stuff Pavlov's Cat Scratch Feeder Interactive Treat and Food Dispenser is a clever scratch release feeder. Scratching the pole releases the food.
