Play with me!
Now you have a cat. And he wants to play. No toys? No problem.
Here are 3 easiest to make toys that every cat understands:
- “Butterfly”. Take a piece of paper (up to 3×3″) and a thread or lace (up to a couple of feet length will be just fine). Pinch the paper in the middle and tie up with one end of the lace/thread. Take another end into your hand and make the scrap fly, perch, flush and flit. If your cat is around, he should get interested.
- “Rustling ball”. Now you ideally need a piece of foil (maybe you have one left from a chocolate bar) but a sheet of paper will do too. Take it whatever you have got and
crumple it into a ball. The ball needs to be not very big — so not to scare you cat. Now when you see your cat is about – roll the ball away from both you and the cat. - “Clew”. If your are living with your granny or maybe you yourself or someone else in your family is into knitting, you probably know what is a clew. If you are new to this, no worries. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to make a good clew if you don’t have a good thick thread, ideally wool. As an option you could unravel your socks or cap. But it’s probably better to go with either of the options 1 or 2 above.
