I have another question for this great board! (Gosh I have learned SO much here!)
My girl Trixie is 2.5 yrs old and not a kitty anymore but certainly loves to play and I am having a hard time keeping her occupied. My Bella is just a cuddler/sleeper and so I dont have a ton of toys cuz she just never would play with them. They both have scratchers, a plastic swirling thing w/ a ball in it and lots of wand type toys where I need to play too. I also have a that automatic play wand on a battery that can move a ball around for them to pounce on.
My question is -- Trixie mopes and waits for the wand type toys... stalking them in the cupboard waiting for me to get them out. Previous owners used to let her outside so she will really chase/pounce and then drag off to her room to eat her prey (if I dont stop her). So any suggestions to keep her occupied when I am at work? (And at night -she is in her own room).
A cat tree with levels and things to swat at? Are there good toys that she can be left alone with? I am afraid of her choking but want to give her the stimulation she needs.
thanks for any ideas
