How it's helping
Finding ways to recycle is always a good choice for protecting the environment. This hack, in particular, can help you save money on expensive cat toys (which, let's be honest, your cat might not even like anyway) and find a use for materials you may have otherwise thrown into a recycling bin.
Keeping your cat on the move and playful can also help ensure they are active and healthy, supporting a long, happy life.
