Play is an essential aspect of your kitten's
development. Through play, a kitten learns
basic survival skills like how to stalk, catch,
kill and be assertive. If you are readling this
you don't plan on turning your kitty loose to
fend for itself. However, if you are new to the
world of cat play, then here's some tips to get
you started that won't cost you a penny.

Most cats, adult and kitten, enjoy the hunt and
to wrestle and kick the dickens out of
something. They'll do the when you aren't around,
but even more when you are present. It's like
they want to be sure you know how to hunt too.

Indeed, if you don't provide an outlet for your
cat's behavior, your cat will find one. Have you
had your naked toes 'captured' from under the
bathroom door? How about charging into the
newspaper while you are reading it? While this
may be a bit unnerving for you, it's all good
cat play.

Playing with your cat strengthens the bond
between you and your cat. Besides, it's just
plain good for both of you. Studies show that
people benefit from petting and playing with
animals. Examples of this are lowering your
blood pressure and reducing your heart rate.
Cats that exercise regularly are less inclined to
turn into a fat cat. Exercise also promotes
healthy joints and reduces the risk of arthritis
in cats.

Moving objects are the favorite prey of cats.
You'll also discover that you cat prefers some
toys over others. Even though you can fill a
cornucopia owith commercial cat toys, you can
find plenty of free stuff that your cat will
love to play with, In fact, they actually prefer
many natural toys over the man-made fake stuff.

Here's a couple ideas for free cat toys to get
your fun started. Tonight when you get home from
work and have the attention of your kitty, drop a
couple of ice cubes in her water bowl (leave the
bowl on the floor and not up on a counter.) Make
sure she sees you do this, in fact, use your
finger to poke the cubes around in the water
bowl. If she doesn't follow suit, then move to
stage two. Get a couple of ice cubes and slide
them across the floor to your kitty. Yup, she'll
catch on and start batting away at these soon to
disappear free cat toys. Nothing like playtime to
keep your cat's joints limber!

You can get a similar reaction using an empty
toilet paper roll and empty thread spools. Just
be careful of using something your kitty can
accidentally swallow. Stay away from buttons,
rubber bands and paper clips. There's just too
much chance that those small objects will end up
going down her mouth.

Another favorite is the 'boat ride' game. This
does require a little participation from the
owner. Just get an empty box and put it in the
middle of the floor. To gain your cat's interest
go ahead and drop one of those empty thread
spools in the box. She'll bat that around, but
when she tires of that its time for you to take
action. You are the tugboat and you gently push
your cat in her barge across the floor. Don't
worry about what you look like. This is all about
your kitty. She'll think you are purrfect!
