Home-Made Cat Toys

I made this cat toy for my cat and I began to wonder what other good ideas were out there. So I decided to make a topic on cat toys so we could share ideas
The toy I made is Squirmles attatche to a string Squirmles are the little fuzzy worms atatched to a really thin string. You can get them at the store, simply break the old string and tie them onto a pice of thicker and stronger string about 4 ft. long. there, perfect cat toy for pets who like soft things that drag around!

I got old hangers and string, and put bells and feathers and stuff on it, and just hung it up somewhere. Another thing I made was I used a glove, put string on teh fingers, and attached things to the ends XD My cat dexter loved them XD

My cat likes softer less noisy things than bells (but he makes so much noise playing with his toys, whats a little more? lol!) but the glove thing is a great idea! I can use it when I grow out of my gloves. and you should try it Rak, its easier and alot of fun! (but of course, the occasional repair is required XD)

A good kind of... "enrichment" toy (if you have any kind of treats your cat likes :]) is to get an old bottle of sorts (preferably something that can't hurt your cat if you like... cut holes in it) and as I said before cut holes in it, put treats inside and see your cat bat at it like mad. I did this for my cat only I used a kind of plastic ball (and garage tools. x] I had too much free time) and she loved it. I prefer to use something that's pretty thick so the thin plastic wont cut your fuzzy friend in any way.
Other than that, you could always do the simple tie-something-to-a-string thing. Or get even more creative and build some kind of moving toy for them.
If your cat is a certain breed, you can find interesting facts on them (some hunt snakes, others are bred for other reasons) but I've seen pretty great ideas to make a toy for your cat that brings out its interesting traits.
For example: people with servals sometimes to use toy snakes because servals hunt snakes a certain way. It's quite funny to watch if anything and the cat gets a kick outta it. <3
And that glove idea is awesome. xD; Adopting a kitty soon. I'm gonna keep that one in mind. :]~

I tied a stuffed mouse doll by its tail to a string and the cats loved it! It had an uneven distribution of weight so when I dragged it across the floor t weebled and wobbnled and when the cats jumped on it it or pulledon it I could pull it in different directions and it would "flip".
