You\u2019re beginning to suspect that your cat is bored. Perhaps she\u2019s a little more lethargic than usual or isn\u2019t showing her usual interest in her favorite activities. Now, you\u2019re wondering about the best toys for bored cats so that you can provide some mental stimulation<\/a> and ensure your kitty is as active and happy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about what cat owners can do to help bored cats and the best cat toys for enrichment you can purchase for your feline friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of Boredom in Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"why<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cat lovers know that they have a bored cat on their hands if she exhibits a few different signs. For instance, she may excessively groom by licking herself<\/a>, pulling out her fur, or biting at and chewing on her skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She may also not want to engage in play anymore and would rather hide<\/a>, eat, or sleep all day long. Though she\u2019s normally supposed to sleep 15 hours a day, you might have noticed that lately, she\u2019s been napping even more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could also be picking fights with other cats in your house or your dog in order to release some of her energy, or eat too much cat food, which could lead to health problems. Destructive behaviors<\/a>, like going to the bathroom outside of the cat litter box<\/a> or destroying the carpet, are also signs of boredom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your cat is uninterested in normal things like food and toys, a lack of mental stimulation could be to blame. However, this could also signal that there is something physically wrong with your cat, so make sure you\u2019re in touch with your veterinarian if you notice any of this behavior going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve gotten clearance from the veterinarian and determined that your cat is simply bored, you can find cat toys that will provide her with the entertainment she needs throughout the day. Here are some of the best toys for bored cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cat Scratcher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"kitten<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cats love to scratch<\/a>, so you can get your cat a scratching post or a scratch pad to give your kitty something to do. When looking for a scratching post, make sure it\u2019s tall enough so that your cat can extend her body when scratching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also needs to be sturdy; if it\u2019s not, it could be unsafe and your cat won\u2019t use it. No cat wants a wobbly scratching post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from a post, you could also get another type of cat scratcher: a scratch pad. A post or a pad will allow your cat to mark her territory, remove the dead skin from her claws, and strengthen her claws and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some cat scratchers do double duty, acting as loungers as well, while others have balls inside of them that your cat can bat at for hours on end. You can find some with catnip in them, too. As you know, your kitty loves catnip cat toys, so look out for them on Amazon and similar sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Laser Cat Toy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever noticed that cats love pouncing at lasers on the floor? To keep your cat stimulated, invest in a laser pointer for playtime. Your cat will enjoy it because the laser moves like prey<\/a>, and she can stalk, chase, and ambush her \u201cprey\u201d with this toy. She will be able to tap into her hunting instincts and release her energy at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cat Tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"why<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Want to get your cat\u2019s attention? Then purchase a cat tree for her. A cat tree will provide your cat with exercise<\/a> since she can climb it. Plus, cats love going up to high places and balancing their bodies, so a tree is sure to offer up hours of fun. Some cat trees come with cat scratchers installed in them, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Puzzle Toys\/Interactive Cat Toys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"cat<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kittens, adult cats, and senior cats won\u2019t be able to resist a good puzzle toy, which will stimulate your cat\u2019s mind. You can also use it as a cat feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of enrichment toy will entice and challenge your cat with its hidden cat treat compartments. The Buggin’ Out Puzzle & Play Cat Game<\/a> from Outward Hound will tap into your cat\u2019s natural foraging instincts and has no removable parts, making it safe for your kitty. The 16 hidden treat compartments will be sure to keep your cat occupied all day long. Just make sure you fill them with high-quality cat treats or kibble for your feline friend.<\/p>\n\n\n
