"Cats may sleep up to 16 hours a day, but when they're awake, you'd better give them something to do. I've had cats my entire life, and I know that without feathers to chase, balls to bat around, and posts to scratch, our feline friends often turn to more destructive outlets like the arm of your new couch."
"But many cat toys are cheap plastic impulse buys designed to last a week then go straight into the trash. Resilient cat toys are hard to come by, but I set out to find some for my favorite little orange lady, Juno. After spoiling her with a smorgasbord of test toys, I settled on eight favorites that cats and their owners will both adore."
"Every cat needs a scratching post to keep their claws healthy and your furniture safe. My favorite has been this sturdy, attractive scratching post from Frisco. I have two of them, and they both survived four years of use from both my elderly prior cat and current my scratch-loving youngster with no meaningful signs of wear. At nearly three feet tall, even large cat breeds will find plenty of height for stretching out"
Domestic cats may sleep up to sixteen hours daily, but they require stimulating toys when awake to prevent destructive behaviors such as scratching furniture. Many mass-market cat toys are cheap plastic impulse buys that break within a week and end up in the trash. Durable toys or those made from renewable, recyclable, or compostable materials can last for years or have an eco-friendly end of life. Eight favorite toys were identified that combine longevity and sustainability, including time-tested classics and new eco-friendly options. A tall sisal-covered scratching post provides secure footing, ample stretching height, and effective nail maintenance to protect household furniture.
