DIY Delight: How a Toilet Paper Roll Can Become Your Cat's Next Favorite Toy
A recent viral video by TikTok user @thatcatducky has captured the attention of pet owners, offering a simple yet effective method for feline enrichment. Titled 'Cheap Cat Enrichment: Tube treats Part 6,' the video demonstrates how to transform an everyday toilet paper roll into an engaging puzzle toy for cats. The tutorial, which is part of an ongoing series, outlines a straightforward process: cut various-sized holes into a cardboard tube, fold both ends to secure them, and then insert cat treats. The video features an orange cat enthusiastically interacting with the finished toy, batting it around to dislodge the treats. According to the creator, the activity provided approximately 10 to 15 minutes of engagement for their cat. The DIY project is lauded for its low cost and ease of customization, allowing owners to adjust the difficulty by varying the number and size of the holes. Pet owners are advised to supervise their cats during play to ensure they do not ingest the cardboard.
