Cats that live in houses and apartments tend to get bored easily, which can lead to mischief. On the other hand, if they stay calm and sleep much of the day, they may soon be overweight. In this sense, it is very important that you can keep your pet active with the use of toys.

Most cats love two essential things: eating and sleeping. Therefore, it is the caregiver’s job to make them run, exercise, and move their bodies. To help you, we have made a list with 5 ideas of homemade cat toy that you can make yourself easily and quickly using recycling objects.

1. Cardboard house

Those who have a cat know that when an order arrives at the house, the animal rushes to play with the packaging and the cardboard box. This is mainly because for them it is a cozy hideaway. In this sense,cat toy

if you want to make a house-shaped cat toy box, you will need a cardboard frame and scissors to cut holes of different sizes through the walls. In this way, your pet can discreetly observe what is happening in the room, which is usually an entertaining activity for most cats.

It is important to know that the size and shape of the box are not so relevant, it is only necessary that your cat can be in it and preferably that it is able to take a couple of steps inside. In this case, you can try making a cat castle or cat tunnels out of cardboard boxes only, depending on your craft skills.

2. Toy with toilet paper rolls

Instead of throwing away the cardboard tubes that make up the core of the toilet paper rolls, you can save them to make some cat toy. For example, a structure in which you can hide food to stimulate the cat’s brain and get a reward.

Also, this is one of the cat games that can keep them busy for a long time. To get started, you should have at least a tube of toilet paper, a few sheets of aluminum foil, and some treats. Afterward, you just have to fill the cardboard tube with croquettes.cat toy

Now, you must close the tube at each end by making two balls of aluminum foil that have a similar diameter to that of the toilet paper tube.

This way, your cat can spend some time looking for a way to get the balls out of the ends. If the game is very easy for the cat, you can use several tubes and glue them firmly so that the cat has a larger and more difficult toy to obtain the reward.

3. False prey for the cat

Many felines like to hunt, but an apartment or small house cat has little opportunity to put their hunting instincts to use. In this sense, you can make a cat game based on fake prey, like a mouse, which is a great idea to encourage your pet to exercise and use his reflexes.

Also, you should know that the urge to hunt is caused by rapid movement, but the strong smell given off by birds, rodents, and lizards is what initially attracts cats. Therefore, to recreate this attraction you must have some treats that serve as fillers to create a fake rodent.

To make a false prey for the cat you will need food, scissors, an old sock, thread, and a needle. You should place kibbles on the bottom of the sock until the end is full enough to be the size of a mouse.

If the sock is very large, you should use a larger amount of cat food. Once the filling is the size you want, you just have to cut the excess part and sew it to close the end of the sock. Finally, you can use some pieces of fabric to make up the ears and the tail.

4. Fishing rod with pompoms

Shaking objects near your pet’s muzzle is a game that can entertain them for a long time. If you want to offer him new baits to play with, then you should know that you can make a pom fishing rod yourself. In this sense, you will need wool yarn and a stick of approximately 1 m in length.

To start, you should place 2 open fingers in a V shape and then wrap the wool yarn several times around the fingers. Now, with an additional piece of yarn, you must tie the yarn between your fingers, creating a kind of loop. For the next step,

you just have to remove the wool between your fingers and tie a double knot over the previously made knot, to ensure that the pom can withstand your cat’s claws. Finally, you have to cut both ends in the fold to create the pompom and tie it at one end of the stick.cat toy

5. Candy dispenser cat toy

The candy ball is a popular cat toy, but if you don’t have this in your home, you can easily make it yourself using an empty water bottle, some kibble, and scissors. Then, in the container, you must open holes that are a little larger than the food inside.

This way, when your cat hits the bowl, it can scoop out the treats as it rolls across the floor, which is a fun activity to keep your pet active.

In short, it is not necessary to worry too much about getting an expensive game to please your pet, since it is possible to create homemade toys for cats with a variety of objects and materials that do not cost a lot of money and that you probably have at home.

If you were wondering how to make a recycled toy, then you already know that you will only need a few fabrics, plastic containers, and boxes to transform them into a fun homemade cat toy.
