Then I wonder would I want to if I had the right t?


I want to ask - what kind of toys do you have for your cats? I have balls, those mylar scrunchies, and certain cats love them. But other cats seem really bored, especially now, in the winter. I give them cat nip. They have nano bugs but the stupid things keep turning upside down. I'm looking for new ideas. I feel so sorry for the bored ones.
How long have you been seeing your therapist? I finally started bringing this stuff up now with my current therapist of almost 7 years. It took me a long time to decide to talk about it because I never felt it was relevant. But I feel like she is good and a good person to talk to about it because I've been seeing her so long and I really trust her.

My cats love the wand toys, search cat wand toys on amazon or chewy. It's like a stick with a string and feathers or toys hanging off the end. You just kind of swing it around and the cats love to chase it. It makes me get more active too because I have to get up and walk around with it to play with them.
