Cats are masters at finding joy in the simplest things; an empty box, a crumpled piece of paper or a piece of yarn can provide hours of entertainment. Toys can also help cats deal with stress and avoid health issues like Pandora syndrome. But you don't always need to buy your cat toys — why not try making a toy yourself!
