A Crinkle Cat Toy Can Help Keep Your Cat Active

Indoor cats are known to be healthier and live longer lives.  They experience two problems, however that are not normally issues for outdoor cats.  These are obesity and boredom.  Read on to discover ways you can keep your indoor cat happy and active.  We will explore exercise and toys like a crinkle cat toy that can help.

If you happen to have a child running around your house, half your battle is won.  Kids keep cats running and playing most of the day.  They can toss a ball, make interesting sounds to keep the cat curious when it is inside a crinkle cat toy or just simply play with a string.  Whatever a child does is apt to be found interesting by the family cat.

A crinkle cat toy is, in fact, one of the best form of entertainment for cats, whether you have one or many.  Cats love to play hide and seek and will love crawling inside  anything.  The faux sheepskin lining in a crinkle cat toy will please your cat so much he may curl up and take a nap when he is tired from all the activity. 

The material covering a crinkle cat toy sounds like food wrappers, a naturally attractive thing to an indoor cat.  Your cat will spend hours trying to figure out just where the sound is coming from.  Fill the crinkle cat toy with some catnip, which most cats find extremely attractive, and watch as he rolls and pounces.

One way to keep a cat active and playful is to give him a playmate in the form of a second cat.  They will run, jump and chase each other.  As you watch, one cat will crawl inside the crinkle cat toy and the second will pounce on the toy.  This gets the first one running and playing, even if his intention was simply to curl up for a snooze.

One of the best versions of cat crinkle toys can be found at PetCareClub's online store. It is large enough for a full-grown cat to crawl inside and experience the faux sheepskin lining.  This particular crinkle cat toy comes in three different colors, so you are sure to find one to please your little one. 

An active cat is not only happier, but is also healthier.  Obesity can cause numerous problems in your cat. Feeding him a special food formulated for indoor cats and keeping him active with regular playtime and toys such as the crinkle cat toy, will help lengthen his lifespan so you can enjoy his company for years to come.
