DIY kitten toys

As mentioned earlier, kittens need toys, otherwise they will start playing with everything they find, and the owner will not like this very much.

It is not necessary to buy a toy in specialized stores; you can easily and simply make it yourself.

To make it you will need:

• a small box, for example from shoe covers;
• food foil;
• fish oil in capsules;
• yarn.

Place a couple of fish oil capsules in the box (then during play a sound will be made that will attract the kitten’s attention); you need to make a small hole in the lid through which you can thread the yarn. The rope needs to be well secured so that it does not come off during the fun. Wrap the toy in foil.

The next toy is called a “box with a secret”, you will need:

• cardboard box;
• scissors;
• scotch;
• pieces of cardboard;
• small balls.

It is necessary to cut small holes of various shapes (square, round, etc.) in the box so that the ball and the kitten’s paw can easily fit through. To prevent the box from turning flat during the game, you need to attach a cardboard jumper to the lid from the inside using tape. Close the box and seal the corners with tape. Now we throw balls into the holes and watch the fun game.
