my cats are easy to entertain, they are crazy over soda can boxes.get a 12 pack and give them the empty box to crawl in…note even my little dog will play with this.

My cat goes crazy over a lazer pointer, but that requires your attention. They make those shiny pompom balls and they’re called Mylar balls. My other cat likes chasing these little mice with catnip insides.

i glued a couple of feathers to a length of yarn, and my cat wore that toy out.
a balled up cigarett pack or crumpled piece of paper will entertain her for a while, too.
those ponytail bands…she gets up on the sink when my wife is showering and steals them and plays with them for hours.

My cats love the tab rings off of mild cartons, and the plastic pulls from concentrated juice cans, and the little plastic tabs that come out of bottles like vegetable oils and also from the milk and juice cartons that have the spouts in the middle. But my cats all time favorite toy I got as a free gift when I ordered the Hurcules Hooks. I got one of those level laser lights. We have to play several games a day and at night before they let me go to bed. They know what the object looks like and that this is the thingy that makes the light and they will push it over to me or knock it off of the coffee table to make me or any guest that comes in the apartment play with them. They never tire of this game. My son thought it was cruel to them but then he realized that this was the same as them stalking a nice little wild fuzzy furry creepy crawley as we called them in the mountains. But their absolutely most favorite non commercial toys are the plastic grocery bags. They put their heads in them and then push the bag all over the floor with it sometimes one of the other cats will jump on them and attempt to steal the play pretty. They like all card board boxes and paper bags, back packs, and duffle bags and luggage. I spend most of my day laughing at their wonderful antics.

Mine love catnip fresh from the plant during the summer and dried during the winter. I crochet balls that I stuff with catnip wrapped in old nylons and then add a curly tail by making a chain and working 3 DC in each chain. Another good toy is a magazine insert (the subscription cards) folded like a paper hat until it stays in a little triangle shape.
