and kittens are no exception

Probably the first and most basic gift idea is a Christmas themed toy. It could be some kind of chaseable plush toy, or a chewy, bitey toy, the point is that it should be based on the holiday theme in some way. It’s also a great idea to distract your kitty from the holiday rush and at least give him a little time to unwind.

contain catnip
, are sure to impress your cat, as it is one of their favourite plants. So a game that includes this is guaranteed to keep the animal tied up for a good while.

6. Games that develop intelligence

Finally, you might want to buy your kitty a toy that is not only cute, but also increases his intelligence. It also helps you to get the right amount of exercise and to tire yourself out, both mentally and physically. This could be
for example, the purchase of a laser
, which will satisfy the cat’s hunting instinct, or even chase toys, or even toys that require food to be obtained. All of these develop the cat’s mindset and, not least, keep the animal tethered for a long time.
