Happy Easter! Crafts for the Family

Hey everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Easter! Today we'd like to give you some ideas of fun things to do with your cat after Easter's over...

Plastic Egg Toy
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Materials:
1 plastic egg that can open and close
Some tinfoil (other options could be small bells, but not small enough that a cat could choke on it; a cat treat; a marble; a bottle cap; etc.)
Crumple up some tinfoil into the shape of a ball. Make sure it is large enough so that your cat will not choke on it. If you don't have tinfoil, you can always substitute a bell, marble, cat treat, or a bottle cap. Put your item into the plastic egg. Whatever you use in the egg, make sure that your cat will not choke on it if they happen to crack the egg open--make it fairly big.
Roll the egg across the floor or rug so that your cat can hear the item inside rattling. Get ready for loads of fun!

Bunny Rabbit Catnip Sock Toy
Difficulty: Difficult
Materials:
1 old sock
Scissors
Catnip
Felt
Needle and Thread
Cut the felt into two small circles and a small triangle. With the needle and thread, sew the two circles onto the sock as eyes, and the triangle on beneath them--upside down, like a nose. Make sure you do not stitch the two sides of the sock together--just the top piece of the sock to the felt. These felt pieces will be the eyes and nose of the bunny.


Diagram 1

Next, fill the sock with catnip to make it enticing for your cat. Before tying the end, cut the top of the sock so that it is two pieces that you can tie in a knot. For an example of this step, see Diagram 1 at the right. You will cut along the dotted line in the diagram. Once you tie the end of the sock, the two strands will become the ears of the bunny.
For the finished product, look in Diagram 2, below.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter, cat lovers!

Picking the Best Cat

When it comes to chosing the best cat breed for you and your family, you could have a lot of trouble. Some breeds are loud, some are lap cats, some are energetic, some sleep a lot, some are outgoing, some will hide when visitors come... the list could go on and on!
Look no farther for a solution to finding which cat breed is best. We can help you make your decision. Here are some cat breeds and their personalities...

American Bobtails will get along well with kids and other pets that you might have.
Ragdolls are great with kids because they like to fetch, have their belly rubbed, do tricks, and will sometimes follow you around.
Himalayans like to be around their family and are calm lap cats. Although they will play with you often, they are not highly energetic. Persians are the same way.
Siamese cats are loud talkers.
Bengal cats demand to be active. They are highly energetic.
Abyssinians are very social and dislike being left alone.
Tonkinese cats have lots of energy.

There are tons more cat breeds than the ones that are listed here! In fact, there are about 100 cat breeds! Look over this list and also our cat breeds page to see which cat breed is best for you.
