Preventing Boredom While Playing A 2002 study by Dr. John Bradshaw and colleagues tested cats’ interest in playing with the same toy, as opposed to when the researchers presented them with a new toy. Unsurprisingly, offering the cats a new toy increased grabbing and biting behaviors. In other words, your cat might get tired of the toy before they get tired of playing. While almost any preylike toy can get your cat moving, try rotating toys to hold his interest in a HCKE session.
