Play like a hunt
Most cats play the way they'd hunt: watch, stalk, chase, pounce, catch. Wand toys let you act out the whole sequence. Move the lure away from your cat and along the floor, let it hide behind furniture, and let your cat catch it every so often so they don't get frustrated.
Two or three short sessions a day, of five to fifteen minutes each, suit most indoor cats. Ending with a meal or a treat finishes the "hunt" the way it would in nature.
Catnip vs. silvervine
Not every cat reacts to catnip: many don't, and kittens usually don't until they're a few months old. Silvervine is a different plant, and some cats who ignore catnip respond to it. Toys that combine the two give you a better chance of a reaction.
The effect usually lasts a few minutes, then wears off for a while. Keeping catnip toys in a sealed bag between sessions keeps them interesting.
Keeping toys safe and interesting
Put wand toys and anything with string away when play time is over, since string and feathers can be swallowed. Check toys for loose parts now and then and replace worn ones.
Cats get bored of toys that are always out. Rotate a few at a time and bring old favorites back after a week or two.
Questions
- What toys do indoor cats like most?
- Wand toys that you move like prey are the most popular with most cats, followed by small toys they can bat and carry, and catnip or silvervine toys for cats that react to them.
- Why doesn't my cat react to catnip?
- Many cats don't, and kittens usually don't until they're a few months old. Some of those cats do react to silvervine, so a silvervine toy is worth trying.
- How often should I play with my cat?
- Two or three short sessions a day suit most indoor cats. Stop while your cat is still interested, and end with a treat or a meal.
