He loves the laser pen, but he gets crazy with Da Bird! He also likes those furry animals hanging from the doorway, he jumps hundreds of times a day to get it!

has anyone had any luck with catnip bubbles? at first my cat just seemed confused, but curious. now she'll sometimes try to pop them with her paw. but she doesn't leap at them like i've heard some cats do.

Both of my cats LOVE those wand things with the fabric attached to it and laser lights.

Both of my girls like to watch an ordinary flashlight light traveling around the room.

Go Go's into the milk jug rings bigtime and she goes zonkers over the Cat Dancer.

Graycie loves the fishing wand and the Cat Dancer, but her favorite activity is a walk outside (with a walking jacket from www.hdw-inc.com).

They both like the tiny fur mousies, and just chasing all around the apartment either together or alone.

I have those, too.

Most of the time my dearies just watch the bubbles, but they'll swat one every now and then. They're apparently too young to care about the catnip oils, though.

Aluminum foil balls, mice that shake and have feather tails, soft balls, a stick with a feather and bell on the end is thier favorite one.

Mine like balls, empty boxes, those long sticks with bells and feathers on the end and those fake little mice

The common ball works well on Jinx. We gave him around three or four plastic toy balls the size of golf balls that he tends to smack around and chase. But he gets bored of it real easy unless me or someone else plays with him.

Mine like the little plastic rings that come off gallon milk jugs. They like the sound they make when I rub the ends together and they love to jump for it when I throw it up in the air.

Whenever I'm reading for a class, and I'm writing in the books with a pencil, Bast and Jameson just have to play with it while I'm trying to write. They don't really like pencils if I'm not using them, but if I'm under a deadline to get work done, guess who wants to play. The strings on my hoodies are frayed from them both chewing on them. Sometimes I'll walk around the apartment with my shoes untied to make them feel more loved.

Bast's favorite is the foam balls. We'll play fetch, literally, for hours. It's an easy way not to neglect them when I'm under an assignment deadline. She's very good about bringing the ball back and dropping it directly in the middle of whatever I'm doing.

I have no clue what Jameson's favorite toy is, though. He's not much into playing. He's very stoic like that. I haven't tried the cat dancer or a laser pointer yet, though.

My kitties love this thing called Cheese Chase. It's made of plastic and has two plastic balls that swirl around on a track when the kitties fling it with their paws. In the middle is a felt mouse sitting on a stick. Geisha plays with this ALL the time!

Here's a link to a photo of them playing together:
