Try rotating the toys. Put some away and then get them out again in a week and se if your kitty doesn’t think he got all new toys again.

For plush toys, store them in a sealed bag with catnip during the off time to keep them tasty and interesting for when in use.

Some cats simply aren’t very playful. It’s just their personality. Try using different toys more often. But don’t get all in your cats face. They hate that. Don’t force your cat to play. If she doesn’t want to at that moment, trying to make her play will only make her mad.

I noticed my cat likes to chase things, so sometimes I play with her with a laser pointer and she chases it. It is really funny cause she starts making this really funny noise like she is trying to call it down off the wall. She also likes to play with the balls that have the bells inside of them. The more noise, the better for them. Good luck with getting your cat to play.

it depends on the cat. Some cats like to play with balls while others play with string. Some like to chase their toy and some like to stalk. Just get different kinds of toys until u find out which one your cat likes.

It deppends on how old your your cat is. Beacause I have an old cat and she is like 13 years old and her name is Clawdia. And she does not like balls or mouses or those specail toys nope nope she just likes string and lasers. But I have an kitten too! His name is Bela.Now he likes balls and mouses and lasers and all those specail toys. But thats because he is a kitten:p I also have a dog and one more cat and i also hade another dog and cat but they died:( The one cats name was Matthew and he looked like a panthew but he was achully a bombay cat. My dogs name was Lady but she died and she was a great dog.Oh by the way thelasers that my cats like they are just those little red dot lights and every cat loves thoses.
