Cats and Kittens

I have 4 cats and they all love toys… and treats. I was wondering what some cool new toys and treats would be for them.

If you buy, what do you buy? If you make, could you give me the instructions how to make? I have always bought toys and I want to make some for my cats to give a personalized touch. Thanks very much!
I make them little yarn pompoms.
Materials:
Cardboard (hard kind is ideal)
Yarn (2 bright colors would be nice)
Scissors
*The larger the circle, the bigger the pompom.
** If you want a tricolored one, wrap the yarn 2 colors at a time.
1 Cut the cardboard into 2 circles* with a hole about a size of a dime in the middle.
2 Cut 6 pieces of yarn about 1 yard long
3 Keep the two circles together so that their holes are aligned.
4 Wrap the yarn** from the hole in the middle out until you cover the whole cardboard “donut”.
5 If the yarn ends, let it be and cover it with the next piece of yarn.
6 When you’ve finished all your yarn, cut a few of the layers at the top until you see the cardboard again and keep sniping until you’ve got a bit of yarn left.
7 Open the cardboard donuts slightly and, with a piece of the same colored yarn, tie the middle of the yarn tightly
8 Cut the remaining yarn at the topand pull the donuts apart.
9 Fluff up your pompom and your done! Enjoy! :))
Ummm……… my bad….. it was * The larger the hole in the middle the fuller the pompom.
Sorry!! Hope didn’t cause trouble!

I want to give my cat new toys, but I think it would be really fun to make cat toys. Is their anything I could make for my cat?
