7 . You won’t need to spend lots of money keeping your cats happy. These DIY cat toys are guaranteed to be satisfying. Here are some good ideas for common household items that can easily be turned into fun toys. You can visit our web page to find out the details.
Egg cartons (硬纸盒)
These can quickly be changed into a food puzzle for your furry friends. Simply put in some of your cats’ favourite biscuits and treats, and then close up the cartons. Place them on the floor and watch as your cats smell out the food and figure out how to get all the tasty snacks.
Cardboard boxes
We all know just how much cats love boxes. Your cats will naturally jump right in and claim the boxes for themselves, but you can take the boxes to the next level. Just add in an old towel or a blanket, and your cats will have a cosy place for sleep.
Old socks
Put those old socks to good use and keep your cats entertained for hours. Fill your socks halfway with balled-up paper or other material, and add in a little jingle bell for extra excitement. Then tie off the end with a string, and your cats’ new favourite toy is complete.
Plastic water bottles
Another creative idea for DIY cat toys is using empty plastic water bottles. Simply remove the cap and the label, and wash the bottles thoroughly. Fill it with a small amount of snacks, and let your cats bat it around to get the snacks. The noise and movement of the bottle will engage your cats’ natural hunting instincts and provide entertainment.
