Ethical Pet A-Door-Able Bouncing Mouse

Product Information

You can swap around the toys in the box although only smaller ones would work. If you wanted to treat your feline pals, you could always swap the toys for some of the best cat treats, which will be a delicious incentive. Bring out the hunter hiding inside even the most adorable ball of fluff with our great selection of cat teasers and toys. Just attach it to a door handle, pop in three AA batteries (sadly not included) and the string will wiggle around while moving in and out of the casing. It's simply like pulling a piece of string away from a cat and watching them pounce and chew. Using toys is a great way for a cat to use up some of their energy, keep fit and healthy and keep their brain alert and active,” affirms Daniel Warren-Cummings, Cats Protection’s Central Behaviour Officer. “It’s particularly important for kittens as it teaches them the skills needed for life and lessons about the world around them.” The toy works by attaching the string to a moving elastic conveyor belt but there's no assembly required and the string is sewn for you. There are also two speeds which not only provides an additional challenge but ensures the toy doesn't become too predictable. Just be sure to keep an eye on cats while they play with the toy.

You'll find that the banana is made from heavy duty cotton twill, so it should be tough enough to withstand some pretty rough play, although a few testers have reported the toy being ripped open at the seams. As with any catnip toy, damage is possible if a cat gets a little too enthusiastic so it’s always best to supervise their playtime.With feathers to hunt, balls to bat and flashing lights to attract attention, this three-in-one electronic toy from Orsda will get even the most disinterested moggie up and playing. It's programmable too, so you can set it to come on at set intervals to ensure your kitty is getting much needed distraction when you aren't there to play with them. Every now and then, you may wander over to your cat's bowl and find a toy bobbing in the water. Sometimes, you may even find one in the toilet. But why? “The reason is unknown but there are a few theories,” says Daniel Warren-Cummings, Cats Protection’s Central Behaviour Officer. There are many reasons why a cat may not show an interest in toys and much depends on the type of feline you have. Indoor cats often react in different ways to outdoor cats, for example. “Indoor cats need more entertainment than outdoor cats who will often engage in hunting activity or will play with fallen leaves or grass blowing in the wind,” confirms Daniel Warren-Cummings, Cats Protection’s Central Behaviour Officer.

Not only are scratching posts a great way to keep your cat entertained, but they also provide a great way to keep their claws the right length and to distract them from the act of ripping your soft furniture and wooden fittings to shreds! Treat dispensers and items stuffed with catnip will also make superbly popular additions to your cat’s possessions! Keep your cat engaged and exercised with help from the super-affordable range of toys and accessories available in-store at B&M. Finally, on a practical level, ensure the toys are robust, unlikely to fall apart under heavy play and free of small pieces that could come away and be swallowed. As vet Dr. Joanna Woodnutt says: “A common danger is swallowed string from wand toys – if you allow your cat to ‘catch’ the toy, be sure to remove it before they chew through the elastic.” Why does my cat not show interest in toys? Help to exercise them and enable them to expend some energy with both handheld and stand-alone options - including battery-operated products that move independently!We also have a range of gorgeous soft plushies, ball chasers, specially designed balls of wool and laser pointer toys to excite and stimulate your pets. One of the problems with giving a cat a ball to play with is that, with an ill-timed swipe, it's easily lost. By ensuring a ball is sent along a structured path, a cat can repeatedly enjoy all the thrill of a chase. You won't be on your hands and knees trying to rescue a ball from beneath the sofa with this toy.
