Cats are athletic creatures with amazing strength and agility. Nature made them into perfect machines for leaping, jumping, and dashing. Just because your house kitty doesn’t have real prey to chase doesn’t mean she can’t act out her inner predator.

Cat toys and regular playtime are part of providing your cat with a stimulating environment, which makes for a happy and healthy cat. Play gives them an outlet for their energy, mental and physical stimulation, the opportunity to satisfy their instinctual hunting drive, and a chance to bond with you.

Cats have an instinctual desire to watch cracks and crevices, especially when they know that something is hiding just beyond their sight. The Peek-and-Play Toy Box is designed to build on your cat’s instinct by partially hiding some of your cat’s favorite toys, and your cat will go crazy fishing them out! Peek-and-Play is especially great for those times when you have to leave your cat home alone, because this toy will keep your cat occupied for hours.

Cats are also experts at amusing themselves. It takes very little a crumpled ball of paper, a pen left on a desktop, a newspaper spread open on the floor to engage your kitty in what, to her, is the most fascinating of games. Your cat’s imagination can turn almost anything into a wonderful toy that she’ll bat around or chase to her heart’s content. Typically, cats most enjoy playing with small, light objects that are “flickable,” such as a cork or a Ping-Pong ball, which they can swat and then chase. Cats also love empty paper bagsto investigate and “hide” in.  Empty cardboard boxes are also popular with cats.

A variety of cat toys, given sporadically, then hidden for awhile so they don’t lose their novelty is a must for indoor cats. Toys don’t have to be expensive, either. Most cats love to chase wadded up aluminum foil, and chomp on plastic drinking straws. You can try hiding your cat’s favorite toys before you leave in the morning, and create a sort of “treasure hunt” for him, which will engage his love of the hunt.  A special new toy with fresh catnip will often keep your cat entertained for hours.

Many cats also enjoy climbing in and out of small cardboard boxes. If you have a small stuffed animal you are willing to sacrifice, especially one with legs and a tail, you just might find your cat adopting it and mothering it!! A good rule of thumb with toys is to always have a toy for “babying”, a toy for “killing or stalking” and a toy for “carrying” at any one time, rotating them for variety. Many happy hours are spent hiding and stalking prey and then pouncing and chasing the prey around. All of this is for homing in on their hunting skills.

New Kitty Cat to Our Home

There are lots of things one needs to consider when bring a new cat home to be with the family.

• First, select a veterinarian to help you care for your cat. Set up an appointment for his/her physical to have a clean bill of health and a schedule for boosters shots, spaying and other things your feline friend will need to be a healthy cat.

We would like to wish all of our customers, family, friends and our adorable feline pals a happy 4 of July 2009 in celebrating our 233 years of Independence in the United States of America.  This is also the time of year we need to concern ourselves with our feline friends safety  With so many cities having fireworks displays and our neighbors setting of fireworks in their yards,  your cat will certainly be frightened by the the noise and excitement.
