Question
One of our cats (male, 3yo) is very energetic and almost dog-like, personally I love it! Our other cat (female, same age) is quite the opposite, she is far more sedentary and gets quite annoyed when our male cat tries to chase after her and play with her.
That said, does anyone have suggestions (store bought or homemade) for cat toys that would both entertain and exercise our male cat such that he might not have as much of a tendency to chase our other cat around.
Any/all suggestions are appreciated, thanks much!
Answer
A few options I can think of:
Wireless cat mice - this one you can control
HEXBUG mouse - this one moves on its own
Petsafe Pounce - mouse moves randomly in a circle
Petsafe lazer toy - lazer moves around for you
Petsafe food dispenser - Ball you put food in and the cat has to bounce it around to get the food out.
Exercise wheel for cats - Will need some training for it - hamster wheel for cats!
Cat Towers - great for climbing
Catnip - Sprinkle catnip on a towel and watch him roll around!
Toys to avoid are ones with string or elastics, cats tend to swallow these things giving you an expensive surgery to prepare for.
