Shop Chasers & Teasers for Cats in Mascoutah

Cats are fascinated with toys. If you were to close your eyes and think back on your happiest moments with your cat, chances are that the images that come to mind are your cat(s) playing. Hunting, pouncing, overpowering, and hitting toys around offers cats and their people tons of joy - so why do cats so often disregard the toys we bring home for them?

There is one very simple rule to consider when getting toys for cats: cats want a variety of toys. They like a selection of interactive cat toys that use each of their hunting skills. If you have enough toys, you can rotate your cat's choices so they can hunt for a preferred toy. Just don't hide a favorite toy away for good. Make sure your cats have opportunities to enjoy all of their toys often.

What are the types of cat toys? Here are just a few:

Balls and chasers entice your cat to chase with feathers, fun noises, and uncommon shapes.

Chew toys are a great choice for cats that love to chew. They also help to keep your cat's breath fresh and their teeth clean.

Interactive and electronic toys bring out the best in your cat's hunting skills.

Plush and mice toys end up being cherished toys that can calm and ease your cat when it's time to go into the carrier.

Scratcher posts and mats are a must for all ages of cats, from kitties to older cats.

Teasers and wands are wonderful toys for sharing playtime with your cat.

Tunnels become the hiding places where you can easily find your cat.

And variety packs help make sure your cat always has a fun toy.

Cats prefer toys that are light and small enough to be whacked without a lot of effort. They also like toys that are small enough to be grasped. And their favorite toys are objects they can engage with in several different ways.

When you are trying to find toys for your cat, you need to be sure they don't have any strings that could be pulled off and ingested. They need to be large enough that your cat won't try to eat them. They must be made from non-toxic materials. Tiny button eyes and button noses are cute, but anything that can be bitten off and swallowed is dangerous for your cat. Cats of all ages can be hurt by toys with sharp points and edges. At Dog Day Afternoon, we only offer toys that are safe for your cat.
