I’m sure it’s happened to all of you before; You’ve tried to treat your cat with a lovely new toy and within 5 minutes, she’s gotten bored of it and decided to play with an empty box instead! 

Maybe now is the time to give in to your creative state-of-mind and turn some every day objects in to fun cat toys! Here are just a few ideas to get those creative juices flowing!

Medicine bottles.

Ever since she was a kitten, my cat has had a strange fascination with my medication bottles! But of course, it is never a good idea to just hand them a bottle filled with pills just in case they have what it takes to take those special child-proof caps off! 

If you have some old medicine bottles laying around, you could easily turn these into a fun cat toy! Simply empty the bottle and scrub the container really well. Instead of medication, fill it up with dry beans or dry rice, put the cap back on and voila!

Baby Gym.

Old baby gyms could easily be transformed into a wonderful cat gym! Just remove the baby toys and instead, hang some feathers on strings and bottle caps from chords on it instead. Be sure to keep the chords fairly short so your cat doesn’t get tangled in all the string!

Yellow Pages.

Perfect if you have lots old books or an old ‘Yellow Pages’ lying around! Just open the book on random pages and sprinkle them with Catnip. Put some catnip on the outside of the book as well. Now, sit back and watch your cat roll and flip her way through the book!

Toilet Paper Roll.

It might be a little messy to clean up, but it will definitely entertain your cat. All you need is a PVC pipe, clothesline and a roll of toilet paper! Simply run the clothesline through the pipe and place the toilet paper roll on the pipe. Tie the ends of the clothesline together and hang the final piece up on a doorknob or cabinet door and voila, lots of fun for kitty!
