Here are 3 Great Cat Toys on the Cheap…

  • Dancing Toy

    – Supplies needed: A new, unsharpened pencil, a 12-18 inch piece of string, ribbon or wool, a 2 foot long piece of wool, optional staples, glue and/or tape. First take the 2 foot piece of wool and cut it into ten 2 inch pieces which will leave one 4 inch piece. Lay all the 2 inch pieces next to each other, then gather them up and tie the 4 inch piece securely around the center. Now tie your long piece of string, ribbon or wool to the wool toy. Next tie the other end to the pencil. If you use staples to secure to pencil make sure you cover it with tape so there are no sharp edges. Electrical tape, or duct tape work well. Remember to inspect toys every time you use it for wear. Hold the pencil end and make the toy dance. Great exercise!

  • Balls, Balls and more Balls

    –  Ping  pong balls are great. They are light weight so cat toys on the cheapthey don’t make much noise and don’t damage things.

  • Catnip toy

    – Supplies needed: A baby sock or bootie,Cat toys on the cheap made with baby booties a small amount of pillow stuffing, loose catnip, scissors, needle and thread. First you need to alternate placing small amounts of stuffing and catnip until the sock is almost full. Then sew the top closed. Done!!! The hardest part is keeping your cat away while you are trying to make it!

  • Safety

    – With any toy you need to watch what your pet does with it. If they are able to put a hole in it or break off pieces, you need to fix it or throw it away. Just because a toy is expensive does not mean it is safe. If you use booties like the ones in the above illustration, you need to either remove the laces or secure them.

I hope you and your cat find these ideas pleasurable.
