If she is destroying them by swallowing pieces, I wouldn't give her any toys at all unsupervised. Instead get her a cat condo that she can climb up and down with, or douse the lights and play with her with a thin flashlight beam. When cats play with us, they are not playing, they are preying, and the toys are their prey. She more than likely has strong hunting instincts. Follow up each interactive play session with a treat at the end. She is hunting, she has caught the prey, now she gets the reward. Get an old fishing pole, tie a lightweight toy to the end of the line and play with her that way. When you are done, put the toy up where she can't get at it
