Another high-tech expensive cat toy is cutting a paper towel cardboard tube into rings. Hours of good clean fun. My feline horde come out of the shadows as soon as they hear me pick up the laser pointer. (The feral cats don’t ‘get it’ though.)
Whenever I make it home to visit the folks, I pick up a bag of the bestest catnip mice in the world at this farm.
I cannot find this anywhere on the web (with our luck it’s been recalled :dubious: )…but Kitty K’s only favorite toy is a sort of feathered fuzzball on an elastic cord about 2’ long, with a loop at the other end for the cat operator to secure on one finger. KK, age 14, will bite, claw, chaw, make yum-yum smacky-mouth sounds and fight like a banshee to hold onto this whatsis - and do so even when flat on her back in the kitty basket. She loses interest in every other cat toy the instant it stops moving.
(Flutterball, a similar toy without the cord)
My cats love the Flutterballs. So much that any one of them that gets into the house quickly has its feathers chewed off and disappeared into the catbox with a scenic tour of cat innards. That makes me wonder about the possibility of internal punctures. Maybe I’m out of my gourd, maybe not, but it’s still something that crosses my mind.
