Favorite Cat Toy

ugaimes · Aug 5, 2005

What do YOU think is the best cat toy ever? Da Bird? The Cat Dancer? Those little furry mice? Homemade or non-toy (such as the tops off of milk jugs) toys?
Vote and then tell us what you chose and why! My vote is for The Cat Dancer because it is cheap, already assembled (

), and the girls go NUTS over it. It's also a great way to give them the necessary exercise.

(Mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong section, but I didn't see a forum in that cat sections that really applied to toys per se.)

Mine love milk jug tops,toliet paper and boxes.

I also buy these little pillows filled with fresh catnip that a lady on ebay makes and sells for about a dollar a pillow. They love those, if I dont hide them they would be all over the house. So I ration them out.

Yeah, I included body parts as a type of toy because our cats certainly think they are!!!

Oh, geez, everything's a toy at this stage of the game! I think all polls by law

ought to have an "other" category. I'd say Narsil's favorite is a generic kitty wand that looks like it's got a rooster tail on the end since it's made from rooster feather in a feather duster arrangement. Although his favorite pastime seems to be trying to pull the feathers out as if he's plucking a bird. They love the crinkle balls, although they're not self-starters on those as it were.

Pens. I have to make sure that they're not within reach.

Speaking of feathers I found a long one by my garden shed earlier this week-to you think if I washed it the cats found play with it??? I don't know the type-its about 8-9 inches long. We have had lots of hawks flying over lately perhaps it fell off???

You're so right. My bad

Well, I checked those little furry mice, because it seems like I'm forever buying them, then they disappear and I find them in the strangest places. But, Pete and Gracie both love Da Bird and the Cat Dancer too. Pete still has a lot of kitten in him, so everything is still a toy at this point.

I just reordered feathers for Da Bird because Bob just mangles it. He acts like it's a real bird and goes in for the kill. It's also the only toy that seems to get a reaction out of Freckles. I put it in the bathroom when not in use and Bob will often sit outside the door, hoping I'll go in and he can nab it!

I have no idea what is the different between Da bird and the cat dancer?
Anyway we have a long stick, a string and there is a mouse attached to it, is that called a cat dancer? i voted for that. Thats his favourite toy!
But he also loves his squiggi soccer balls

lovemycodygirl · Aug 5, 2005

I checked other...because Cody's favorite toy is Rikki Rocket's drumstick (drummer for Poison - a friend made me join his fan club

) with a string and little pink sparkley ball attached ... she still loves to play with it now!

I voted for the cat dancer because that is their favorite toy.

They absolutely LOVE my mesh collapsible laundry basket. I put some tissue paper (another favorite) in it and they think its their tent! This is not my original idea. Someone on this site mentioned it before the "great crash," but I don't remember who it was. I leave it set up for them all the time now.

yasmine · Aug 5, 2005

I have alot of store bought toys BUT she loves to play with a phone cord..she walks around with it in her mouth. I had moved one time and she discovered this and its become her toy. She also loves tissue gift paper balled up...she really gets excited when she hears the sound of tissue paper! lol

beckiboo · Aug 5, 2005

Foil crinkle balls! I love those! Festie will even play fetch with them, and bring them back to me so I can FLICK them so they go flying across the floor! Sometimes she drops them in the water bowl, maybe to keep them away from Garfield?

They both love any crinkly trash found on the floor, or pulled out of the trash can!

prissykitty · Aug 5, 2005

The best cat toy *all* 7 of our cats enjoy is my hippie door beads : ) I finally took them down and threw them away because strands kept ripping off. I did keep two strands of beads for playing with the cats and they love them!

milopixie · Aug 5, 2005

Ours wasn't on there, but mice and little balls come a close second so I picked that one. The absolute fave in my house is that damn laser pointer. Milo whines for it and even Pixie will chase it around. Hours of entertainment for the whole family!
