cheap enrichment for cats (made for my landlady's cat)
My landlady has a grey cat called Mango who gets bored very quickly. I do not own a cat myself, but I spend a lot of time at her place fixing the water tap. Over a few weeks I made some toys that cost almost nothing.
Toilet paper rolls with treats pushed inside work well, the cat has to pull them out one by one. A cardboard box with a few holes cut in the sides became a hiding spot. I also put a ping pong ball in an old plastic bottle with holes, and the sound makes Mango chase it around the kitchen floor.
Rotate the toys every few days. If you leave all of them out at once the cat gets used to them and loses interest. Mango now sits in the box every afternoon and waits for me to come and fix things, so she can play.

ผมก็ทำกล่องใส่ขนมแบบนี้ให้แมวทองตัวเล็กเล่นเหมือนกันครับ ได้ผลดีมาก ไม่ต้องซื้อของราคาแพง

Dans quel quartier de Bangkok habitez-vous ? Je cherche aussi des idées de jouets pour mon chien Kao Kao.

I did the ping pong thing with a friend's cat in Ari. The cat loved it for one day, then only wanted the box. Cheap is good.

make sure the bottle clean, no sharp edge. pepper bite the plastic once and it cut his lip so bad. use scissor and then sand it
