Types of ball cat toys

-- Catnip filled ball toy – Cats love catnip, so a catnip ball will delight them.

-- Noisy balls – Cats are attracted to noises. Certainly, a noisy ball toy will catch your cat’s attention. These ball toys are similar to rattles; usually they come with jingle bells inside.

Homemade ball toys

Do you want to try your hand at creating your own toys? Here are some ideas:

-- Paper balls – These are the least expensive and the easiest to make. Just take a piece of paper and squash it into a tight ball and start playing.

-- Sock – Take an odd sock you no longer use and roll it up into a ball. There, you have an instant toy.

-- Knitted balls – If you are crafty and know how to knit or crochet, make kitty an original knitted ball.

And also consider:

-- Ping pong balls and tennis balls – These are not only inexpensive but they are easy to get. You may even have some lying around the house.

Revitalize old toys

Do you have an old ball toy your kitty is bored with? Give it a new life by sprinkling or rubbing fresh catnip on it. A great idea is to buy refillable catnip balls. This way, you can always replace the old catnip with new and fresh catnip. Kitty will love his or her revamped toy. Plus, you will save yourself some money.
