Step 1
Image from mordegirmen.orgWant to spend some time with your cat? Dangle some string and watch the cat bat at it like it's the most exciting thing in the world. It's likely that you've got some kind of string or ribbon around your home - if not, you'll probably get ribbon around a birthday or holiday present at some point.

Step 2
Image from toypost.co.ukCats like to chase things, so if you have any fabric balls or bouncy balls, let your cat play with them. Make sure that they are large enough that your cats can not put them in their mouths.

Step 3
Image from instructables.comSome cats like to carry things around, so take an old t-shirt and sew a piece of it into a small cat toy. Stuff it with cotton balls, and the cat will chase it or carry it around for hours. If you've got catnip, that makes a great filler too. Making homemade cat toys will be fun for you and your cat.

Step 4

Step 5
Image from bravenewtraveler.comSilly things like the beams from laser pointers (pointed away from the cats and projected on the floor), balled up paper and shoe boxes can amuse cats for hours. Don't underestimate the ability of a cat - he or she can make anything into a toy!
