Product Information

Like the butt wiggle, it’s likely that lifting a paw is another way cats might sometimes prepare themselves to pounce, particularly if they are anticipating needing to swat or catch something with their front paws as they do. There may be a few more steps in-between the paw lift and the pounce, but it’s probably another way for them to warm up for a big leap. Then, hide it again before bringing out the second type of prey. Go through them one by one and see which one gets your cat’s attention the most.

The broad range of cat toys available here at zooplus may leave you feeling lost and confused, so we have compiled a list of handy tips of things to look out for, to help you choose the perfect toy to meet your cat’s needs. So, how do you know which one your cat prefers? One way is to set up several activities around your home. Use toys you already have or choose objects that move like any of the three types of prey. The one that keeps your cat occupied the most is the one that she loves the most. Here are the top 10 reasons behind your cat’s behavior. Let’s take a look. 1. To Signal Her Accomplishments Stimulating effect: if your cat requires a little bit of extra encouragement to play, there are natural oils and plants that can stimulate its senses. Catnip, for example, can be used to train your cat and attract your cat to certain toys or certain areas of your home. Valerian is another herb that can arouse the olfactory senses of your cat. Both of these herbs can help with stress relief and when contained in or sprayed on to toys or scratching posts they can promote exercise and ignite curiosity to explore.Almost all cats meow when they catch something. It’s associated with their hunting instinct. Their meowing is also a way for them to signal those around them that they’ve caught something tasty. Like we already mentioned, your cat’s meowing could be to announce that she wants you to be proud of her accomplishments. Not only that, but she’s probably giving you her catch as a gift. Cats are curious animals. Sometimes all they need is to have their interests and curiosities honed. Try to vary the types of toys as well as the types of play. Experiment with different activities to make sure your kitty is happy and content! In the moments before your cat is about to pounce on their prey or their favourite toy, you may have noticed a cute wiggle of their behind as they prepare to launch into action. Sometimes known as the ‘death wiggle’, this signature move is not entirely understood, but there are many theories about what it means when your cat wiggles. Have you ever bought a toy for your cat only to have her completely ignore it? This is because cats’ hunting instincts fall into three distinct prey categories: rodents, birds, and bugs. According to the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, identifying what type of prey your cat prefers is important when choosing the ideal toy.

Just like humans, cats can also get bored, stressed or anxious. Cats have natural instincts that can be difficult to satisfy in a human household environment. This includes scratching behaviour, which can see carpets and curtains destroyed if you do not provide a suitable outlet such as a scratching tree or scratching board. Playing with toys is a great way to alleviate symptoms of depression or boredom in cats and it has also been shown that frequent playtime can reduce aggression and unwanted behaviours. While all the stages are important, it’s the chase that these felines love the most! They can’t get enough of it.Another idea is to hide all the toys for about 20 to 30 seconds. Bring out one type of toy for a few seconds to see how your cat reacts. This is why your cat catches her toy and comes to you meowing. It could be she’s showing off her prize or her fetching abilities. As well as protecting your furniture from sharp claws, scratching toys satisfy your cat’s natural needs and can allow for hours of entertainment. Combine with tunnels, obstacles and other delights to keep your cat thoroughly engaged!
