Toys keep kittens busy and help engage their minds. Lures, lasers, and balls hone their chase skills and help their motor development. As you would for a baby, you need to make sure toys do not have small removable parts that could be choking hazards. String poses unique challenges as cats love to eat it, and it can cause detrimental effects on the digestive tract. Sometimes you must teach a kitten how to play effectively with toys. Everyday items such as cardboard boxes sometimes make more amusing toys than shiny commercial objects.
