I was wondering what your cat's favorite toys are? For mine it is whatever is in my wastebasket and their pole with a bell and streamers on the end of a string. Oh, and each other.

Anything that flies through the air, small mice to play fetch his pillow and a sun beam

My last cat loved laser pointers and cat nip mice. Even, dangling strings.

I wish my cat played with toys she probably would but my dog thinks they are his and ruins them but my cat and dog love playing with eachother and if they are not playing she's sleeping or eating but what I think is also cute about her she loves drinking the dogs water and hers but she always drinks my bathroom faucet water I guess it always drips and she licks the water from the sink while the water drips on her little head that had nothing to do with the post but had to share I love my baby lol

Shrinkwrap from the top of a wine bottle. Endless cat amusement! Finally found a toy the dogs don't like to steal! This particular toy often ends up in their food dish. Wonder why?

depends on which kitty. Mine will make toys out of all sorts of stuff.

They love toys that dangle on a string. We call it "catfishing."

The evil red dot (laser light)

the roll toilet paper comes on

rolls of toilet paper or paper towels (love to shred the paper)

anything associated with catnip

pingpong balls

Boomer loves me to roll up a single square of toilet paper and flick it to him. He will play with it for hours!

"invisibles" those things humans can not see that cats love to chase around the floor

tree frogs and lizards when they get in the house (lizards and frogs are escorted back out by yours truly)
Thanks for this!

Those tiny fur mice are his fav but he'll play with all the toys. He also prefers playing with me and the bushy tails on poles.

I had a cat that loved plastic bottle caps. There was another one that liked to play fetch with a ball of yarn. And the rest liked string.

My cat Lady loves any crumpled up ball of aluminum foil and the little plastic rings that inevitably falls off the top of jugs of milk when you open them.

Many of the above mentioned toys but also the spools left over from thread, a scarf, cotton balls, Hot Wheels especially on the hard floor surfaces, and then remote controlled car, pis de resistance. Hours of fun.

I am pretty sure that our cats think that everything is a toy!

One cat likes my husband's hairy legs and beard.

Two of the cats think that the storage bins that are covered in cloth are not only the best hiding places, but the most fantastic scratching posts

Foil wrappers crinkled into balls and tossed for fetch are a big hit.

And an actual toy that all 3 use? My 10 year old picked out a toy that is a large plastic disc with a ball that runs along the side and a cat scratching pad in the middle. Best toy purchase ever (And she is mighty proud that she picked it out and not her parents.)
Thanks for this!

a little stuffed cat he likes to wrestle with and a little felt mouse he likes to bat around. He also likes to play with a yellow plastic ball and balled up pieces of paper. He enjoys attacking my arm and pretending to nibble on it and attacking my husband's feet and my feet when we move them under the covers at night in our bed.
Thanks for this!

My kitty is juggling between playing with three different toys. She doesn't know which to play with so she's playing with all three simultaneously.

A feather wand. The wand part is very long so you can sit back in the chair and run it across the floor, twirl it in the air, etc. Sure saves the back. Sometimes an empty box.

My kitten likes Mardi gras beads and my other cats just like licking up catnip and going crazy. XD
