Some friends of ours hooked a piece of elastic string to their ceiling and tied a cat nip injected toy to the end of it. Both their cats loved it.
Believe me too...they have a HUGE cat...ahem...lately we've been calling him "Impressive"

Whitey's pretty big (10 lbs +) and he loves anything with a poof at the end. Plus Da Bird...its good for cats of all sizes

He also likes balls, the milk carton seals and plastic bags. He
it when I come home frm the grocery and I have a ton of plastic bags on the floor.

BigLots is a great place to look for kitty toys!

Maybe you should talk to John and see what he has for his Bobcats and Cougar?


Ari loves his mouse on the stretchy cord that hangs from the door facing. His next fave toy his tail then Topaz's butt.

Willow (muscle man) likes to play with a large cotton dog bone - just the right size to rabbit kick etc!

My big lad, Tibby Likes large foil balls and his favourite toy ever is his large Ikea bag!


They all love wand toys though and we get some pretty good jumps out of them with that!


Of course they all love their cat trees too!

Tavia loves anything with catnip on it. And she has a footstool she kidnapped from my sister that she loves and I have a piece of a branch cut down to about a two foot piece of wood that she loves. It was sitting upright but I became concerned that it might fall on her. So I layed it in the floor on two towels so the mess was easy to clean later. She also loves her lower beings, the dogs. Poor Lilly was trying to be good and Tavia started rubbing up against her and then flopped down beside her and tried to pin her down to groom her and Lilly didn't know what to think about all of that.
Tavia also loves any curtains that hang low and especially if the air conditioner makes it move. And she watches my hummingbirds through the window and tries her best to catch them when they fly by. Not sure when she will figure out that she can't walk through the window.

and Tavia weighs 11lbs last time she was at the vet. He said she's healthy but he says she's a little butterball. He laughs cause she is such a sweet kitty at home but every time she sees him she turns into a demon kitty.

Dancing thru the Universe
All my cats (all big boys thru the yrs.) go crazy with the original Cat Dancer toy-can be found in most pet stores-great for exercising with someone (human or feline) or alone-I've given them to friends who say it's the best toy ever-Also-rubber rainbow balls are great-have them everywhere in the house-somehow they magically appear & disappear
so I never really know how many are around-

In a state of misery w/o my Bella
My cats love the toy called DaBird it's bird feathers on a pole and string and it attracts them like crazy but it's something u have to play with them we do it everynight so they sleep good...also we just ordered a big tree (they already have smaller ones) from Angelicalcat...I can't wait till it gets here..my husband and I are betting who will get their big butt on the top first! Also they love fatcat toys with catnip and the little catnip matts they lay on and beat up .My sev is 13 lbs and my Joe is 15 lbs..my girls are little(poor Bella she used to be 11 and is now 9 lbs)

I'm waiting to find his current stash since we're in the process of moving. I cleaned under the fridge and found about 20. I haven't bought balls in a long time because we just go looking for his stash when we can't find any laying around!
I'm glad to know my little Jasmine isn't the only cat that does that! lol, for the longest time, my family and i have assumed our little sugar momma was the only kitty that did that! I have worked around hundreds of kitties and never had i seen one do that before- it's hysterical to watch. She'll growl at them, put them in her mouth, run around in circles while growling them in her mouth and strategically place them in water and food bowls- it's funny. Lol, i think Trent and Jasmine need to meet each other- we should make a little kitty "ball pit" for them lol
. I feel ya on the refridgerator- i'm forever finding kitty toys under there and under my washer and dryer too

That would be hysterical to see 3 kitties going insane over those little pom balls.

Oh and Tavia loves boxes. She likes trying to attack the box. Well for some reason she thinks there are mice in the box and will try and get them out.
