There's no place like home
All: each other, the cat trees, boxes, and mom/dad. By far they play with each other more than any single toy in the house.

Muddy: the pull chains on the ceiling fans (yes I have to hold him up for him to play)
Koko: pens or pencils and the ball track
Emily: Leather tipped wands or her catnip banana
Stumpy: Sam (the dog) or Spike (the other dog) in a pinch
Dakota and Sage: anything they drag out of the laundry pile
Pinky: undercover feet

Milo loves the laser pointer, his red mouse - not sure what it is about that mouse but he'll chase it for hours, he even takes it in his carrier with him to the vet and stuff, and then every other toy that was ever invented (definitely can't narrow it down, so I'll just have to lump them all together
)

Pixie likes the catnip sock, the mouse chase - that she hardly ever plays with, and occasionally the tassel toy. She doesn't play much though

Lucy likes the catnip stuffed mouse I got her for Christmas one year.
Leo likes the laundry basket, or anything he can climb into. He doesn't like bags however, he got one caught on his collar once, and won't go near them.

They both like their little soccer balls. And of course, chasing each other.

Pixel likes tissue paper footballs, soft sponge balls, & the laser mouse.

Cable likes everything! all the stuff Pixel likes, plus the cat dancer (actually, they both like that!), the cat dangly thing, lids to prescription pill bottles, little pieces of plastic - you name it! they are both batters, but Pixel also sometimes plays fetch! that's why she likes the soft balls - she can pick 'em up in her mouth.

A piece of ribbon when I make it 'fly around' for her
A small bright red mouse which I tied a piece of string on to for her so she can bat it
My toes moving under the duvet!

Rip off a small piece of paper, ball it up and throw -- Cosmo loves it!

Stuffed fish at the end of a toy fishing pole. He goes crazy for it.

A little furry thing, faux rabbit fur ball thingy that is at the end of an elastic string. Drop it over the edge of the bed and wiggle - watch him go nutso!

Imogen likes paper--toilet rolls, old receipts, etc.

Beazy LOVES furry mice! She'll hunt and fetch them all day--batting them around and bringing them to you to throw. She gets very distressed when she bats them under something and can't reach them. Then we get very pointed, telepathic stares until the mouse is uncovered. She, too, likes paper balls--and tin foil balls! (We don't let her chew on the foil--just bat it around.)

All three of the Raggies: Da bird (This can go on for hours, it has to be hidden when we're finished playing with it), cardboard boxes with holes cut in the sides to chase each other in and out of, helium balloons with dangly strings that float around the room
Mitz - one small, hard, hide mouse (No other mouse will do, he has about twelve but only likes THAT one and no one else is allowed to touch it, it gets hidden in his bed when not in use)

Jake - Marbles
Jazzie - pingpong balls, particularly if she can get you to sit at the foot of the stairs and throw them up for her to chase back down again
Vicket - shadows. ONLY shadows.

Wallace: Toilet Paper, paper bags
Lewis: soft pom pom balls - goes bananas over these, stuffed mice
Marcellus: anything he can knock off to the floor, paper bags

All 3 have discovered the new toy for the day: The Cat Dancer. I never knew what that was and my son, who works at Petsmart, brought home
a Cat Dancer. Oh my gosh! All three cats love that! Wish I could have invented something that simple and made money! It's quite something. It is their new favorite for sure!

my cat T.T. Cat has two toys in which he thinks they are his babies one is a toy duck that has velcrow on the back so you can refill it with these little bags of catnip, and th other on is a stuffed cow that i opened up the back and took a bit of stuffing out and put home grown cat nip in it then sewed it back up . both toys are about the size of my palm.

Just out of interest, what is Da Bird? I don't think we have them in the U.K.? Correct me if I'm wrong!

Mika:
Fluffy hair scrunchies. He stores them in his food bowl and dips them in his water bowl before bringing them on the bed (ew) or bringing it to me to play fetch with (when he's ready to play fetch he brings it to me where ever I may be in the house). Hands down, his favorite. Doesn't matter which color, he stole the only one I owned two days after he got here and if there's one in my hair he tries to steal it, too, although he has several of his own. He's been here a month and I've already had to throw two, very drippy wet, covered in litter, and torn ones, away.
Where the heck he got THAT fetish is a mystery.

One of those round things with the cardboard scratcher in the center and a ball in a track around it. LOVES it... recommend it highly for tv watchers with playful cats (it improves your programming if you put it in the floor in front of the TV). He bats at it and backs up so he can do the hiney-wiggle-hunt dance.

His scratching post/perch with what we call "taco mice" hanging from it. The mice are round pieces of carpet folded in half with fluff ball eyes and a leather strap tail which tethers them to the top of the post. To add interest, my hubby and I make a game of who can land the scrunchie on the top of it (during fetch of course), so we can watch him play "gopher" (poke his head up so he can see if it's up there).

He loves to hunt his brothers & sisters (birds), but those aren't toys so they don't count.

Fritz's main interest right now is a leopard print fishing pole toy, that use to have feathers on it. He'll run/leap after it into the bathtub, kill it, and then drag it into the living room, drop it and leave it for me to pick it up and put it back into the bathroom. Right now, that is the only thing he likes...oh yeah...my head..at 3 in the morning!
