Older cats have similar limitations as older dogs. Teeth become more fragile and if they have developed an illness like arthritis, they may not be as active as they once were. It is best to keep toys soft, yet stimulating and just like dogs, cats enjoy interacting with their pet parents. 

Wands

Cats of all ages love wands. This interactive robotic cat toy is made of high quality ABS material and is set to work 10 minutes every 1.5 hours so when pet parents are not at home, the toy will interact with your cat appropriately. 

Hunting Toys

Cats love mice and birds and hunting is a natural instinct even for house bound elderly pets. This value pack of catnip filled mice is great for any cat and it is filled with pure and potent catnip that is produced without chemicals or pesticides. 

Roller Ball Toys

Most cats love playing with balls, but as cats get older, chasing balls around the house can be too much physical activity for them. Roller ball toys are perfect for cats that love to chase but are not as able as they once were. This Roller Ball Toy has over 7600 positive reviews and is stacked with sturdy construction and is multi level with a non slip base to hold the cat track and ball toys in place. 

Hiding Toys

Every cat loves to hide and snuggle in small spaces. Hiding toys are great for cat curiosity and great for older cats. This collapsible and portable hiding toy offers 3 spacious tunnels with built in crinkle crackle paper, peephole and bell toy that give your cat more ways to have fun. Provides hours of exercise and self amusement. Comes in a wide variety of colors. 

Peek & Play Toys

Peek and play toys are both mentally and physically stimulating, encouraging your cat to poke and prod while she attempts to capture the hidden toys. This heavy duty wooden toy box allows you to hide toys inside and keep cats curious and both mentally and physically sharp. Works with almost any appropriately sized toy or catnip. Encourages cats’ natural predatory behavior. 

Scratching Toys

This cat scratching lounge is great for older cats; it is the first 3 sided cat scratcher that your cat can use both as a scratch post and a place to lounge, sleep and rest. Comes with a reversible cardboard lounge scratch pad and catnip. Prevents cats from damaging furniture, lasts long and cats love it!
