Cats need exercise as much as humans do. The only problem is that you can’t walk a cat like a dog. So exercising your cat will take a lot of effort. One way to exercise your cat is to play with him. Cats are not like dogs that constantly like attention and like to play. Cats are independent and will usually come to you when they want to play. You should be ready when they do.





One way to exercise your cat is to play ball with them. The balls they have are great. But if you are looking to save money and want your cat to have something from the heart, you can make a ball for your cat. A ball of yarn will keep your cat interested, even an adult cat will play with yarn or a ball of string.

You can buy some catnip and fill a small sock with it and watch your cat go crazy over the catnip. Catnip is one of the cat’s favorite things to play with. Cats also love string itself, plain unwound string. Hold one end of the string and toss the other end out right before the cat’s feet and they will try to grab it.

One homemade cat toy that is the simplest to make and the cheapest, take a piece of paper and crumble it up and toss it over to your cat. They love paper; wrapping paper, paper towel rolls (after the paper towels are gone). Cats even love to play inside empty boxes. They like to climb in and out of them. You don’t need a lot of money to entertain your cat you just need some creativity and some imagination.
