Indspire Me

By Akanksha Sharma

I am a cat parent and I love and adore my furry friend to bits. However, I’ll have to admit that it is a constant struggle to keep my cat entertained and well-exercised. This is something that I must do; because if I don’t, then Toffee (my cat) releases his excess energy by running around the house like crazy and startling everyone in the process. Our legs become the unsuspecting victims of his frenzied scratches. On the other hand, Toffee is the sweetest and the cuddliest cat when he has his adequate amount of daily playtime and exercise. His positive response to playing with toys, prompted me to share the best cat toys India has to offer, with you all.

You Can Make the Cat Toys India Has to Offer, Last for a Long Time

One thing  I do is to keep rotating the cat toys. I hide one for a few days and bring out another. This way the novelty factor lasts for a longer time. Psst…this list also contains a reasonably priced cat tree. That’s been my most recent and golden vetted purchase. It has solved multiple purposes; given him a place to sit and look over all the activity going on in the house, provided multiple scratching posts, created a hiding place when those oh-so-pesky guests come visiting!  Oh, and you don’t want to miss the number six item that is in this list. So let’s get started and see the best cat toys online.
