Burmese cats are highly active, so owners should ensure their pets have a variety of entertainment options. The best way for them to release energy is by having special toys. Choose toys based on the pet’s preferences, which can be determined through observation.

Simple Toys

Simple toys are an excellent choice for Burmese cats. They are inexpensive and keep pets entertained.

These include:

• Balls: Available in various sizes and features. Examples include bouncy balls, balls with bells or small inner balls, and textile balls filled with catnip, which stimulate the cat’s activity.
• Pointers: Create a beam with a dot that Burmese cats love to chase. Some models come with different attachments that change the dot into the outlines of other shapes.
• Mice: An interesting option for active play – what cat can resist chasing a mouse? Manufacturers offer a wide range of toys: textile, plastic, rubber, mechanical, and static. Some may have musical or light features.

Interactive and Intellectual Toys

These toys develop the physical and mental abilities of Burmese cats and their attention. They allow cats to have fun while the owner attends to urgent matters. This type of toy comes in a wide variety:

• Tunnels and houses with holes through which cats need to fetch balls or other objects
• Surprise boxes and dance mats
• Teaser toys and ball tracks

Corrective Toys

Used for specific purposes:

• Food mazes: Useful for cats prone to overeating. The Burmese cat will have to work to get the food!
• Chew toys: Beneficial for dental care. They come in different shapes and textures and are filled with compressed catnip to freshen the cat’s breath.
• Teething toys: Helpful for kittens with teething pain. Made from eco-friendly rubber, these toys relieve pain, remove plaque, and prevent oral diseases.

Rules for Choosing Toys

When selecting toys for a Burmese cat, consider:

• Size: The toy should be large enough to prevent the cat from swallowing it.
• Weight: Toys that are too light are inconvenient, while heavy ones may be boring.
• Material: Soft toys can be quickly torn apart by a Burmese cat, while hard ones are difficult to play with.

If you decide to buy a Burmese cat, remember not to leave it alone during playtime. Play together. This interaction shows the pet how much it is loved.
