When it comes to finding a cat toy your cat will play with, the best advice anyone can give you is ‘good luck!’ Cats are notorious for being super-picky about what they eat, let alone what they’ll play with. Sometimes you’ll find that perfect cat toy and know they’ll play with it whenever it strikes their fancy, but others they wouldn’t play with even if it was covered in catnip. But finding the best cat toy for your cat can be accomplished.

The first thing you have to do is see what gets your cat going. Cats like things that move and jump around. They want to chase and pounce on their ‘prey’, but finding exactly what your cat wants to jump after is really a matter of trial and error. But be patient. Once you find what they want to play with, you can get all kinds of toys of a similar nature and they’ll love it.
Some cats like little stuffed toys, like a stuffed mouse. Many times, a stuffed mouse with a squeaker or a bell in it will be everything your cat could ever desire in a play toy. Some cats will even get it in their mouth and go from room to room with it, announcing their conquest.

Other cats want to play with a ball. Something that’ll move and give them a challenge when they smack it. Balls can have tinkle bells in them, but some cats simply prefer a plain ball they can bat around the room that will continue to move farther than a stuffed toy or feather will.

Speaking of feathers, some cats really love to bat at things that dangle like feathers or toys on a string. They’ll sit and bat at it for minutes, even hours sometimes, getting an endless amount of enjoyment out of watching it swing back and forth and trying to catch it.

Interactive cat toys may actually be the best cat toys. These are the kind where we get to play too, whether by dangling it over the cat, controlling it by remote control or flashing the light on the floor for the cat to chase. While its great to have toys cats love to play with, its even more fun when we get to be part of the entertainment process. Not only do we get enjoyment out of playing with the cat, the cat knows we’re playing with them and that gives them even more enjoyment too.

Finding the best cat toy will depend on your cat, but there are lots of great choices available. Check out all the great cat toys out there and find the ones your cat will get hours and hours of entertainment out of. You’ll get hours of entertainment out of it as well, watching your cat enjoying life.
