Despite their reputation as lazy animals, cats need playtime. It's hard-wired into their basic instincts. Experts have observed that wild cats often play with their food (think small rodents and birds) before consuming it. Cats need things to pounce on, bat and bounce around to get their exercise and stay healthy. Playing helps with their mental and physical development, and allows them to bond with other cats in your household. In addition, if you have an indoor cat, playing will relieve boredom and stress.

Basic cat toys for cats include things that are small, easily moveable, and often make a jingling or shaking sound. You can buy cat toys just about everywhere including pet stores, discount department stores like Target and Wal-Mart, grocery stores, pharmacies such as Longs and Walgreen's, and possibly your vet's office.

The following are some tips for how to buy cat toys.

  1. Check the cat toys carefully before buying them. Gently pull on them and make sure they don't come apart in your hands. The last thing you want is your cat to swallow or choke on something they shouldn't.

  2. Many cat toys come scented with catnip, or actually contain catnip. If you've never seen a cat respond to catnip, you're in for a treat. Catnip is actually a mild hallucinogen to cats. Many cats will respond to a catnip toy by sniffing, licking, drooling and chewing the toy, batting it around, and rubbing their chin, cheeks and body up against it, usually while purring loudly. Male cats tend to like catnip better and not all cats respond to catnip. In addition, cats less than three months old will probably not respond to catnip.

    However, two cautions about catnip. If your cat ingests a great deal, they may be at risk for vomiting and diarrhea. The other warning is that some cats drool excessively over catnip and can actually create small puddles on and around catnip-scented toys. If this disgusts you, catnip-scented toys may be something to avoid.
