Top Cat Toys in 2019

It’s a fact that we all want the best for our pet cats.  Cat lovers everywhere will agree on that.  But, when it comes to cat toys, the market is huge and the choices we must make can be very…um, purrrr-plexing.

As you know, there are several cat toy categories ranging from basic catnip stuffed mice to flailing prey animal wands to electronic lasers.  We would like to alleviate some of the shopping angst that comes with all those choices by giving you our list of the top cat toys for 2019.  Please know this list wasn’t just thrown together, nor was it popularity-based.  In fact, a lot of mindful thought using several criteria went into these choices.

Our Criteria

Is It Safe?  This should always be the first consideration when buying any pet toy.  For example:  Could a cat be harmed by this toy?  Could the toy be an allergy risk?  Is it a toxic hazard? What happens if a cat ingests part of the toy?  Is it a choking hazard for cats or small kids?

Is It Challenging?  A good cat toy should be mentally and physically challenging as well as exciting and fun for the cat.  Some cats like simple toys like jingly balls or plush toys like mice or birds―toys they can bat around and chase after.  Other cats like more complex toys―interactives that they have to puzzle over and try to outsmart.  Because each cat is unique in its likes and dislikes, every cat owner needs to know their cat’s personality.

Is It Going To Last?  This is a question of durability and soundness.  Every cat is different, so each cat parent needs to know if a toy will stand up to their cat’s playful torture.  No cat lover wants to shell out good money for a toy that’s all tattered after only a short time.  Look for quality of materials, seller reputation, and read the feedback from others who have bought the toy.  A good cat toy should last for weeks or months of playful cat fun―durability and soundness!

Is It Right For The Cat?  Some cats are big, think Maine Coon.  Some cats are small, think orange tabby.  Some cats are young and full of energy.  Some cats are senior and sedentary.  The bottom line is that cats come in different sizes, ages, personalities, and temperaments.  No one knows a cat’s likes and needs better than the cat’s owner.  So, every owner has to know or discover their feline friend’s preferences.

After all that criteria, it’s time to move onto our list of top cat toys in 2019.

The Final Word

Cats need mental and physical stimulation that toys can give them.  This is especially true of pet house cats.  Without toys to challenge and hone their skills, cats become bored, disengaged, and possibly destructive in the home. Here at Love and Kisses Pet Sitting, we know that you want only the best for your cat.
