Fun Interactive Toys for Adult Cats

Even as adults, cats continue to enjoy playtime. It not only provides the health benefits of exercise, but also nurtures their primal hunting instincts. That's why it's important to provide the right toys. Interactive varieties are great since humans aren't required to make them move, light up, or whatever they do.

My cats, Teddy and Mitsy, are young adults now, and they love playing with their favorite toys while the humans are asleep. The upstairs hallway becomes a hockey rink, and they bat around and chase balls, springs, and whatnot. During the day, they aren't nearly as active and often show signs of boredom. By signs, I mean meowing to get my attention. That's why I began searching for interactive toys for adult cats. 

My Cats Love Their Interactive Play Mat

I spent a lot of time searching for interactive rechargeable toys for cats, and the one I chose was a hit. Teddy and Mitsy absolutely love this play mat, and I love that it doesn't require batteries! It has several different speed and pattern settings, and the feather wands are replaceable. Because it's rechargeable, it eventually pays for itself.

A Toy That Adult Cats Love

My cats spend countless hours by the door watching birds, and they'd love nothing more than to nab one. Buying an interactive flying bird toy is a better alternative to letting them hunt. First of all, my cats are strictly indoors because I don't want them outside. It's too dangerous! Secondly, I love birds, and I don't want them harmed. As you can tell from the photo, my cats have plenty to eat and don't need to hunt, but they still have that innate desire. 

Check out the *Ad - CATPICK Automatic Flying Bird & Mouse Doorway Hanging Toy. It's amazing! My two cats get lots of exercise jumping and trying to catch the 'prey'. It comes with two birds and one mouse attachment. They don't seem to have a preference and love playing with both. 

How Does This Automatic Flying Bird and Mouse Toy Work?

Like the other automatic cat toy I suggested, this is also rechargeable and includes a USB cable. It has a retractable line that moves up and down to encourage play hunting. Best of all, if kitty feels like playing and touches the bird or mouse, it turns on automatically. It securely attaches above the doorway, and it doesn't leave marks on the walls or wood trim. 

My cats have owned these fun interactive toys for several months, and they're still in great shape. They're great for those who work or can't provide the necessary playtime. The battery savings will also pay for this one very quickly.

Can't Reach Clothes in the Bottom of the Washer

Image
My blog is primarily about cats, but I have to discuss a problem that I can't help but think must be common. I can't reach the clothes in the bottom of the washing machine. Do you have that issue too?  Deep Drum Washers and Struggling to Reach the Clothes After getting my new machine, I began by washing my cat's blankets and a few furniture coverings, and the first thing I noticed was the super deep drum! I'm about 5' 4" tall, and my arms are either short or manufacturers aren't considering height when designing these products.  A Reacher Grabber Tool is Safer than a Stool or Chair My first inclination was to stand on my little *Ad -  wooden stool , but I immediately envisioned falling into the drum and getting stuck with my legs up in the air. I have a good imagination, but I am more cautious these days. My mind went back to when I stood on the arm of the couch to reach a plant, and the padding shifted. After a two-second life review while falling to the ...

My Cat Has a Feral Accent

Image
From the time my previously feral cat was tiny, her form of cat speak was atypical. Since ferals aren't around humans, they communicate differently than their domestic counterparts. They make a series of trills and other vocalizations, some without opening their mouths.  I call Mitsy 'my cat with a feral accent'. The sounds she makes are far different than any cat I've had in the past. She can meow, but she had to learn how by observing my senior cat Panda Bear. She had lots to learn! Mitsy's First Meow I hadn't really thought much about Mitsy not meowing, even though just about every sound she made came from her throat and through a closed mouth. One morning, she let out a big, loud meowww that surprised me and scared her! She wanted food, and she knew that she had to speak up.  Mitsy's eyes looked as big as saucers after her very first word. She learned by observing Panda Bear communicate with house-humans through meows. Since human beings are vocal creat...

My Cat Chewed Ficus Tree Leaves and Survived

Image
My Aldi ficus tree was doing remarkably better - until my cat started chewing on it. Yes, I know that ficus is toxic to cats. I keep my bedroom door closed now. She didn't suffer any ill effects, and my title was dramatic, but I wouldn't risk it now that I'm aware of the dangers. Besides, the leaves are now riddled with puncture marks, and I'd like it to survive another 15 years.  That plant was about six inches tall and started as a bonsai when I bought it a decade and a half ago. It started out with a neatly braided trunk secured with gold twist ties. Unfortunately, one section didn't grow tall like the rest. I quit trying to keep it braided after it became obviously shorter.  Toxic Plants and Cats Back to the subject of my post, since I am covering the dilemma of my cat chewing on my ficus tree. Many houseplants are toxic, including common ones like poinsettia and lilies. You must keep the cat and plants separated or opt for other varieties. If you can't keep...
