When a kitten appears in the house, the loving owner must take care of the toys for the baby. If this is not done, the kitten will turn your clothes, shoes and furniture into toys. Toys are needed for the physical development of the kitten, for entertainment and communication with the owner through joint play. In addition to the benefits that everyone understands, the toy should be safe enough. It should not have sharp edges and small details that easily break off. It would also be nice for the kitten to play with her on her own when the owners are not at home.
DIY kitten toy
How to make a
toy for a kitten yourself? There is nothing easier. The first thing that comes to mind is to twist a bow from a piece of paper, tie a thread to it and hang it so that it does not reach the floor a little. The rustling of a bow will constantly attract a kitten. You can make the same hanging toy from a box on an elastic band. Put a few peas inside the box so that they rattle with each movement. Perfectly suitable for such toys are plastic boxes from Kinder Surprise. You can sheathe them with fabric to serve your pet longer, and look more beautiful. Instead of elastic, you can use a long spring, then fix the toy well on a horizontal surface.
You also need a soft
toy for a kitten. It’s very easy to make a mouse out of dense fabric
with your own hands . Fold a piece of cloth in half. Draw the contour of the mouse’s body, cut it out. To make the mouse seem plump, put something soft between the two cut pieces: pompons from the old hat, a big ball of cotton wool. If you work with felt, felt, dense drape, then the edges can be glued, but it is still stronger to sew the upper and lower body of the mouse with threads. We sew eyes firmly so that the kitten does not bite them and does not choke by accident. Make them out of fabric for safety too. Do not forget the tail. It will be especially interesting to drive such a mouse on the floor, if something rumbles inside too.
DIY interactive kitten toy
Interactive animal toys do not require human intervention. They are very good for satisfying the hunting instinct of kittens. For example, a transparent tunnel with balls inside and holes on top, so you can stick your foot in and try to get the ball out. If you do not have the skills to do this, make a similar toy out of a flat cardboard box. Make round holes in it over the entire surface, inside very well fasten balls, balls or pompons on long elastic bands. The kitten will diligently catch these tangles and pull them through the holes, hooking them with claws. It will be a cheap interactive toy for a kitten, with your own hands you will make it from improvised materials.
What toy to make for the kitten, choose for yourself. It can be a teaser toy, a rattle ball, an interactive toy, maybe a whole game complex, combined from cat slides, claws and sunbeds for relaxation. So that your furry baby does not get bored, play with him. So you show your love for him. The attention you give the kitten daily, playing with it, will help you raise an obedient pet.
