Frugal Friday: Cheap Cat Toys

Happy Friday! If you are one of those people who look forward to Friday and Thank God when it finally gets here then pat yourself on the back for making it. Remember last week we announced that we would be starting a new segment called “Frugal Friday”. Click here to read last weeks article on how you can score free cat food. Now, let’s look at how to find Frugal Friday: cheap cat toys.

Just like little children cats love to play. And just like children cats enjoy when you get them a new toy to play with. If you’ve been down the cat aisle at the pet store lately you’ve probably discovered a whole aisle (or more) dedicated just to cat toys. What a joy a kitty would have running up and down this section of the pet store. From traditional catnip mice to electronic laser pointers and everything in between can now be found at a pet toy store near you. But wait, you’re on a tight budget. Does this mean that your furry baby has to go without a toy? Some of those toys are really expensive. How do you decide between food and toys for your kitty?

Now granted, not every toy in the toy aisle cost “an arm and a leg” or is going to set you back financially. However, we are here to save you some serious money with our Frugal Friday segment. Instead of buying new toys for your kitty cat try making your own. Cats don’t care what you paid for the item or even if your paid it at all. Cats just want to know that you care enough to think about them. Making your own cat toys can save you lots of money especially since the toys you buy never last very long anyways.
