What’s great about DIY cat toys is that there are so many different things you can make! You can make toys that they chase, toys that make noise, toys that you play with together, and toys that they can play with by themselves. Before you get started, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Cats love things that make noise. If it crackles, jingles, or sounds like paper rattling, they can’t resist it.
  • You can use basic supplies. Paper, cardboard, yarn, and other basic items make the best toys for cats. You don’t need expensive items to make something your cat will love!
  • Keep size in mind. Some cats are bigger than others. With that in mind, make sure you don’t create any toys that are small enough that they could be a choking hazard for your cat, or the other pets in your family.
  • Imperfection is fine. Does your DIY fish toy look more like a blob with eyes? That’s okay, your cat won’t care! It doesn’t really matter what the toy looks like, all that matters is that it’s engaging.
  • They don’t need tons and tons of toys. You can put together just a handful of toys and your cat will be thrilled!
