Cat Toys

Each year millions of cats are left alone locked in homes and apartments for days at a time with no companionship, no activity and no stimulus. In some cases this can lead to separation anxiety, overeating, laziness, obesity and even health and behavior problems. Although cats generally have different play styles than their canine counterparts, toys are as much a necessity for cats as they are for dogs. Toys help fight boredom and give cats an outlet for their instinctive prey-chasing behaviors. And when you are the one moving the toy around while your cat fishes for it, chases after it, or jumps in pursuit of it, playtime becomes a bonding experience for you and your cat.

One thing is for sure all cats have a natural instinct of chasing prey. Cats are predators and even the most docile cat feels the need to hunt. A cat without a cat toy can lead to behavior problems such as overweight and anxiety, or damage to household items such as the drapes. These behavior problems are caused by boredom. Without some type of entertainment while left alone a cat will find it's own way of entertaining itself. Providing a toy for a cat or even several cat toys will keep your pet healthy and happy.

What do cats like to play with? Just about anything and everything. Anything that can move is a potential cat toy. Like people, no two cats are the same. Some cats like toys stuffed with a little catnip, others are completely indifferent to the herb. Some cats perfer interactive cat toys while others find a simple fake mouse will work just fine. Pet Street Mall offers a wide selection of Cat toys. We carry top of the line products and you can rest knowing that our Cat Toys are safe for your pet.

Cats are quickly bored and more than one cat toy should be available to them. A good idea is to rotate their toys. When they appear to become bored with a cat toy, put it away for awhile and then re-introduce it at a later time.
