DIY Cat Toys

 

Cats (especially kittens) are known for their playful nature, and as a cat owner, it’s important to keep them entertained with toys. However, store-bought toys can be expensive and not always suitable for your cat’s preferences. That’s where DIY cat toys come in handy.

 

How to make your own cat toys

 

Here are some ideas for fun and easy-to-make DIY cat toys:

 

Feather Wand Cat Toy

 

A feather wand is a simple and classic toy that most cats will enjoy. All you need is a stick, string, and a feather. Tie the feather to the end of the string and attach it to the stick. Then, wave the wand in front of your cat, and watch them chase and pounce on the feather.

 

Cardboard Box Fort

 

Cats love hiding and playing in boxes, so why not create a cardboard box fort for your cat? Collect several cardboard boxes, cut out some holes, and stack them to create tunnels and hiding spots for your cat to explore.

 

Sock Cat Toy

 

A sock toy is an easy and inexpensive toy to make. Fill a sock with catnip or other fillings, tie a knot at the end, and let your cat bat it around. You can also add some bells or other small objects inside the sock for extra stimulation.

 

Catnip Pillow

 

Cats love catnip, and a catnip pillow is a great way to provide them with a safe and fun way to play with the herb. Cut out two pieces of fabric in the shape of a pillow, and sew them together, leaving a small hole to fill with catnip. Then, sew up the hole and let your cat play with their new toy.

 

Toilet Paper Roll Ball

 

A toilet paper roll ball is an easy and fun toy to make. Cut the toilet paper roll into small rings and glue them together to create a ball shape. Then, place a small treat or bell inside and let your cat play with it.

 

 

Scratching Post

 

A scratching post is an essential item for cats to scratch on, and it’s easy to make one yourself. All you need is a piece of wood, a carpet remnant, and some glue. Cut the carpet remnant to fit the wood, glue it on, and let your cat scratch away.

 

Cat Treat Dispenser

 

A cat treat dispenser is a fun way to keep your cat entertained and mentally stimulated. Take an empty plastic bottle, cut out some holes, and fill it with treats. Your cat will have to figure out how to get the treats out, keeping them occupied for hours.
