CATS LOVE FOOD TOYS TOO!
We need to provide cats with toys that stimulate their natural instincts and prey drive.
Natural cat feeding behavior includes predatory activities like stalking and pouncing. Although not food dispensing toys, Frolicat Laser Light Toys are great for stimulating hunting and chasing behavior. IMPORTANT TIP--When using any laser toy with cats, be sure to end the play session by allowing the cat to catch a toy mouse or stuffed animal. This prevents frustration and satisfies the prey drive
We can also simulate natural feeding behaviors by hiding small amounts of food around the house, or by placing dry food into food toys or containers as seen below, from which the cat has to extract individual pieces, or play with the toy to release the food pieces. Although we recommend cats eat primarily canned food diets, a portion of the diet can include some dry kibble for use in food toys.
IMPORTANT TIP--Which is the best food toy?? We actually recommend you get one of each, or at least several! Cats love variety. They will tire of the same toy over and over, so have many, use them interchangeably to prevent boredom.
