Inexpensive make it yourself cat toy

Hope everyone had a great weekend! If anyone took the weekend off from reading this blog, I am sure you will notice that it is much improved with a logo and links.

Monday is play day on here and I will try to give you some creative ways to entertain your ( hopefully indoor only) cat. Our cats have every toy imaginable, but they seem to prefer the cheap stuff ( crumpled up paper is popular). I bought a shoebox from the dollar store and had my handy hubby drill 2 large holes in the cover. Then I added a bunch of the toys they rarely play with and all of a sudden they wanted to get them out of the box. Joanie is demonstrating.Once in a while, I even sprinkle in some catnip. One time , I added some treats before going to bed and in the morning, the box cover was off and everything was spread all over. You can do this with a cardboard shoebox, but plastic is better because they can see the toys from the side.

Please don’t forget to make a comment on yesterday’s post to be entered into the latest contest. I am waiting for 10 to have one of the cats pick a name. Also, please sign up for the newsletter- it will be delievered to your email 4 times a year with seasonal tips, fun ideas and as always- a contest.Thanks for reading- see you tomorrow.
