Best Toys for Lazy Cats
Cats owners know that cats love nothing more than to laze
around their homes all day long. Cats tend to be lazy, inactive
creatures by natures and it is impossible to take them out for
walks and games like dogs. Letting your cat have his or her way
and not encouraging them to be active enough can do some
serious damage to your cat’s health. Cats are at a high risk of
becoming obese if left to their own ways.If you are finding it
difficult to nudge your feline friend, then here are some
rather interesting toys that are bound to get your lazy cat up
and about.
Crinkle balls
These are lightweight, soft, colored balls that make noises
that intrigue your cats. Roll these balls on the floor and your
cats will chase them around. Cats love carrying these balls
around and this gives them some exercise.

The toy consists of a wand that has a feather attached to it
that moves in various directions. They are eco-friendly and can
offer your cat up to 2 hours of play. It is interactive and the
colorful feathers stimulate cats and can draw out your cat’s
playful nature. You can set the pace at which the toy moves so
that it works best for your cat.

keep cats on toes. Furry mice are designed to bring out the

moving. It is lightweight, portable, and battery operated and
