Feather Cat Toys

It's important that kids become comfortable around pets at a young age. Allowing your child to grow up alongside a cat or dog can help teach them responsibility and provide them with a lifelong friend. To get your child interested in these little critters, try giving them some cute books on the topic.

The most popular cats books targeted toward kids right now seems to be "Pete the Cat." There are "Pete the Cat" books for every age range and the antics of this cat will have your child giggling nonstop. Cats are already curious enough as it is, so allowing your child to have a glimpse into their endearing behavior will be beneficial. These specific books also teach important lessons to children and talk to them about the care of cats. Your child will soon find out that he or she is more likely to see a cat climbing trees, than one swimming around in a pond. One of the books in the "Pete the Cat" series addresses this fear of cats, which many children may not even have known about.

For older children, there are books like the "Warriors" series by Erin Hunter. These books deal more with cats in all their fierceness what life is like for them when on the hunt. These books might explain to your son or daughter why so many cat toys out there feature furry stuffed mice or feathers to attract the attention of the cat and satisfy that hunting instinct. These books give children a glimpse into the nature of cats, helping them to understand the reasons for some of their behavior. In addition, these are the best children's cat books and they certainly are entertaining!
 

 

Does your furry friend deserve the best cat toy out there? Or have you got a wild one desperately in need of some entertainment while you juggle a busy daily life? Well, here's Vee PURRfect Leather Bouncer Cat Toy for him. This simple toy will provide hours of endless amusement. Unlike most cat toys, this one features a strap that is a combination of leather and plastic rather than a string attached to a rod. If you've used one of the string toys with your cat, you know they don't last long and can even be dangerous. There have been numerous reports of cats accidentally swallowing the string, and trust me, nobody wants that kind of thing to happen.

This toy features a 6" flexible cable attached to an 18" wand. When you buy Vee PURRfect Leather Bouncer Cat Toy for your little one, you will get a bouncer toy with your purchase. These bouncer toys, however, aren't completely necessary. Having the leather straps at the ends of the cables provides a lot of entertainment for cats as it is. The bouncer toy is merely a little something extra. Unlike feather cat toys, you won't have to worry about your cat ingesting pieces of the product or making a mess of it. In this way, you'll get to tease your kitten and get him the exercise he needs without having to be concerned for his safety. Even veterinarians have recommended this as a superior cat toy, and it won the Editor's Choice Pet Business Award in 2009. One might even go so far as to say that it's "PURRfect."
 

 

Cats everywhere just love Da Bird Cat Catcher Cat Toy. It is one of the few discount cat toys out there that is good quality and is sure to catch the attention (and a claw or two) of your little friend. This toy can be found all over pet shops or online. It comes in various colors (one for everyone) and features a flexible wire connecting the rat to the wand. This is great because if you have experience with these types of toys, you know cats love to chew on any soft fabric string used instead. Many of them will chew until the toy is pretty much destroyed, and they have a wad of string in their mouths. This is an obvious no-no, and is another reason why Da Bird Cat Catcher Cat Toy is high on the list of good toys.

As far as feather cat toys go, this one takes the cake. It is simple, yet provides a lot of activity for you and your pet. The price of the item is incredibly reasonable too, which can sometimes be hard to find. Not only will your cat get enough exercise using this, but you probably will too. The tiny rat tied at the end is made of a feathery material with little feathers coming out of it. Cats love these furry features, which make them feel as though they are hunting for prey. This, in turn, gets them even more riled up and introduces some activity into their otherwise sedentary indoor lives. If you are having a problem finding this item in the stores, try looking for cat toys online.
 

Age 7 purebread Ragdoll, neutered male Indoor cat.   Clover is used to having his claws clipped and only uses his scratching post to scratch.  He eats only hard cat food and drinks water.  He does not like people-food.  He always uses his litterbox.  He has an average temperament and is a lazy about 75% of the time, but does love when you play with him & his favorite toy, "da bird" feather on a string.  Clover is in need of his "Forever Home" because  I'm unable to care for him.  I have long hours at work and an out-of-home commitment  to helping raise my niece (I am home about one hour per day).  Lately he is a little bit sad and not taking care of his grooming - he is longing for attention!  He loves companionship and sits next to you rather than on your lap.  He is loyal and purrs when he is pet, and likes to sleep by your feet at night.  During the day he'll sleep whatever room you go on his cat condo or cat furniture with a stoop that he can look out of window.   He is a little slow to warm up to house guests but likes to be in the same room as everyone to watch all the action.

For hours of enjoyment and entertainment with your kitty – the feather cat toys are the toys to purchase. They will let you interact with your cats for fun and quality time together. The Cats Claws “Feline Flyer” Wand with Attachment Cat is the best cat toy you can purchase – to show your cat that you want to play. It has a thirty-inch wand with six different types of attachments that you can apply to the wand. There is a feather feature attachment that cats love to play with for hours at a time. The wand of the “Feline Flyer” is made of a non-toxic plastic that is safe for your cats and it doesn't snap when you play. The “Feline Flyer” wands are excellent discount cat toys that you can purchase for a fun time with your cats.

Cats love to play. Indoor cats need to play more often than outdoor cats because they are inside and can't run and explore the outdoors elements. If you’re not careful your indoor cat will just stop playing and lie around for hours a day. This is not healthy for your cat. They need to be active every day. Get the “Feline Flyer” to get your cat healthy and active. This will bring you and your cat closer with the time you spend with one another.
 

Keeping active and engaged is necessary for a happy and healthy cat. Cats are naturally inclined to hunt even though they appear to only nap. Between naps they are on the prowl. This can provide a problem for your indoor cat. Your feet, pillows, furniture and socks can only keep them occupied for so long.

Enter the Purrfect brand Crunchy Feather Cat Toy. Not only is it a great feather toy, but it is also crunchy. The secret is a crunchy plastic that is enclosed in feathers at one end and at the other end are colorful natural feathers. When your cat gets tired of playing with one end, simply turn it around and they have a brand new toy.

The neck of the toy flexes for a better bounce. All of the feathers are natural and there are no metal parts. This toy is from Vee Enterprises and will give your cat hours of healthy, natural and engaging fun to satisfy his natural instincts and desires. This is the kind of toy he needs to occupy those long upcoming winter hours. And of course you can join in on the fun using this toys 32 inch wand.

Let the pouncing begin.

 

Does your cat enjoy stalking and pouncing? Does your cat go boners over a dangling piece of string?  Does your cat sit and play with the simplest of toys?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then the Moody Pet Fling-ama-String Motorized Interactive Cat Toy is what you need!

The Fling-ama-String Toy is a motorized cat toy designed to play on your cat’s natural instincts to bat and lunge. Feather cat toys can hold a cat’s attention for a little while, but all too often they lose their appeal far too quickly. Cat Climbing Trees and Lotus Cat Trees can offer a chance to climb and scratch, but do not do anything for a cat’s desire to stalk and pounce.

Fling-ama-String Toys hook over any standard doorknobs and the motorized toy dangles, flicks, and twirls a string in a tantalizing dance that will grab any cat’s attention.  Watch as your cat stalks and pounces again and again.

The simple design will keep even the laziest of cats coming back for more. This toy is a great easy to encourage exercise among lazy cats and interaction for the home that has multiple cats.

George is a lovely Blue Point Bicolor Ragdoll.  In his youth, he was a show cat.  We have only had George about a year and a half.  We are looking for another home for George because my husband developed asthma after we got him.  His doctor recommended getting rid George. George is neutered, does not spray and still has his claws.  He is strictly an inside cat who loves to snuggle and is quite a purr box.  He likes lying on the back of the couch and sleeping with me at night.  Believe it or not, he even comes when I call him for bedtime.  He likes to chase a feather toy and sharping his claws on corrigated cardboard scratchers. George gets along well with cat friendly dogs.  He prefers being the only cat in the household and will not share a litter box with another cat or tolerate a dirty box.  Multiple boxes are a good idea.  One oddity about George is he likes to lick and chew on plastic bags, so it's a good idea to keep those put away.  If he is doing something you don't like, he stops if you hiss at him.  The only doctor's visits (besides for shots, which are all up to date)  were for an in-grown claw, a recurring watery benign cyst that can easily be drained, and a sinus infection.  None of those are currently a problem.  George will come with food, a bed, scratching pads, litter boxes, brush and comb, and records.

If your cat loves chasing mice, squirrels, lizards, and other critters, than this is the toy for you and your feline friend! The Da Bird Cat Catcher Cat Toy by Go Cat Feather Toys is comprised of a 12’’ wand which is connected to a long flexible string line.  At the end is a 2-3’’ mouse.  Drag the mouse along the ground to watch your cat scurry and pounce; lift the mouse into the air and watch your cat bat and leap after the enticing prize.

Perfect for entertaining one cat or multiple furry friends, the mouse’s realistic look grabs the attention and plays on the cat’s natural hunting instincts. Your cat will love running around playing with this perfect cat and mouse toy.

A breed of cat that may be especially enticed by the design of this toy is the Ragdoll Cat.  Searching for info on Ragdoll Cats brings up a wealth of information and there are many Ragdoll books that offer great tips for caring for these beautiful cats. One only need look at the Ragdoll breeds, such as the Blue Lynx Mitted Ragdoll, and it is easy to see the grace and elegance of these cats.

Playtime is very important for the well being of your cat. Without play cats can become lethargic and distant. It is vital that you are part of that play time with your cat. However, for instance what happens when you are away at work?

This is a fantastic product for those who work everyday and can only play with their cat when not working. This toy will assure that your cat has proper play and exercise time always.
 

Most Ragdoll books say that if you can get your cat’s attention with a particular toy it will play with it continuously, and what better way to grab your cat’s attention than with constantly moving feathers?

All cats love feathers because of their natural instinct to hunt birds, but with most feather cat toys you have to manually make the feathers move to simulate a bird. This remote control fun toy however allows you to sit back in comfort while your Ragdoll tries to catch its prey.

Admittedly you don’t have total control of the feathers, but by pressing the button on the remote control the feathers move and twitch with a random motion. This means your cat is kept on-guard for the next movement and even you don’t know which direction it’s going to go in.

The toy itself isn’t that big but if you’re buying cat toys online then you don’t want them to cost the earth to post. According to the reviews, it’s compactness doesn’t mean it can’t stand up to a bit of a beating from a larger cat though, so Ragdolls should have just as much fun as any other breed.


 

This is a guest post by Erica Johnson

Hello, my name is Erica Johnson and I am a cat behaviorist. I would like to share some of my favorite items with you! They are all kitty tested and approved, and of course, safe!  I have taken the guesswork out of these items, and provided links directly to the items online.  There may be several of one or two places, that’s just because I know and trust them!  I’ve even done some of the price comparing, to find out where you’ll get the most for your money!

1. Cozy Cat Comforters. Starting at $25. These comforters are spectacular! I had to buy one for each cat, and my small-medium dog! My pets wanted one of their very own, they would not share.  My oldest cat is the toughest critic known to man!  She instantly went to the comforter and laid down.  Now, if she finds something that sweet little heart desires, I would pay close to anything just to see her happy!  I've never seen them so possessive over something! They love them so much; they choose sleeping on the comforter instead of my bed! The shop also makes a larger item, like a table runner for the foot of the bed or back of the couch! I don't want to imagine life without these! Small-medium size dogs love them too. I got my Chihuahua one!   The shops’ owner makes you feel as though you are royalty!  She is the most attentive seller I have had the pleasure of doing business with.  She can also do custom orders if you don’t find the comforter that is purr-fect for you!  
2. Grow a surprise! Grow your own cat grass. They love it! Kits are sold at pet stores that contain various safe species of cat grass, so you can grow kitty his or her, own little garden! They love to chew it and it’s a natural hairball remedy!
3. Da Bird - The best wand toy ever - $9.99. This wand toy must be magic! I have never seen a cat that could resist!  It has to be the most incredibly lifelike bird feathers on the end of the very long, thin metal-like wand. It will be the best $8 you ever spend on a cat toy!
4. CatIt Designs - Water Fountain - $34.06 Do you have a cat that likes to have the faucet turned on for him/her to drink? It is very common for a cat to want to drink water as it drips from a faucet. Kitties like cool, fresh, running water. This fountain was the best investment I EVER made. It fulfills all these kitty wants. The water runs constantly down over a large dome into a dish that is constantly running and filtering all the water and keeping it cool (we live in Texas, we need it!), while providing different area to drink from!
5. Petstages Cheese Chase - $9.88  This super fun circular track comes with a ball for kitty to chase ‘round and ‘round!  That’s not all!  There is a furry friend growing up in the center for kitty to bat and chew!  My kitty has had his since he was born, and it’s still one of his favorites! 
6. Temptations cat treats Starting at 1.99 Any Pet Store -I LOVE Temptations cat treats! They are just one calorie per treat and have a plethora of amazing flavors. My favorite is catnip, and it seems to be the cats’ favorite too!
7. Cat tree. I found the best deal at Petsmart.  It is Online Only though, this is for a 74” tree but they have a variety of beautiful cat furniture! This one is $179.99. This is truly a great investment in your cats’ behavior. Cats do not like to be on the floor, and as a behaviorist, this is one of the first places the client and I go. My first thought is always to provide a way for kitty to get up off the floor. A cat tree also gives your cat a piece of furniture of his own; cats do realize and have feelings about their own furniture in the home. Place the tree in front of a window so they can watch the birds outside, and you've also just given kitty his own television!
8. Window Perch. Drs Foster and Smith. This perch allows kitty to safely observe the outdoors, without all of the risk and danger.  Naps may be taken while lying in the sun after a long, ever so hard day of bird watching!

Meowwy Christmas!!
