The House Cat Diary

The behavior of chasing starts when your cat is as kittens. Tossing, batting and poking around small objects are how kittens learn to stalk prey. One of my cat tossing a toy in the air, and then she run like crazy again. Do you know why? This is because cat family is known for chasing a prey to quench their thirst of hungry. In other words, chasing is their natural instinct.

When they chase a toy or a thing, it will develop the survival skills, which would help them provide for themselves if they ever needed to do so.

Have you ever seen you cat stomp on her toys? Yes they will! It is mainly due to the fact that your cat wants to hunt and kill the prey.

Cats are classified as a bugger, mouser or birder. This is nothing but the preference of cat towards the toy that mimics catching bugs, mice, or birds. These cat toys will stimulate them to interact.

There are many interactive toys available in the market that mimic the motions that cats love. Do gift these cat toys on your cat’s next birthday to enjoy the actions and movements involved with the process of hunting from which they create a form of play. Happy Toying!!!

Do you know cats are natural hunters and predators? Actually they are born to hunt and stalk. Most of the wild cats are spending their energy for chasing their prey.

But what your pet cat will do for chasing? If you have a mice in your house, there is no problem. Otherwise, your cat may have very little to stalk and chase. 

Have you ever thought this point? You should provide indoor cats with something they can instinctively try to stalk and track. The thing you should provide will help your cat to bat around with her paws.

I searched the market to get a perfect replacement for a live mice and came across a  very cool mouse toy that claims to satisfy the needs of your cat’s "inner hunter". This toy is called the Undercover mouse. This cat toy is adjudged as the best new cat toy of 2008 by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.
