We’ve had cats most of my life. The first toy I’m recommending is FREE… it’s called a paper bag (not plastic). Cut or tear a small hole in the bottom of the bag. Open the bag and lay it on its side on the floor so your cat can see in from the top of the bag. Stick your finger in through the hole at the bottom of the bag so that your finger is inside. Wiggle your finger, and your cat will be interested. You’re welcome in advance.

My cat, Mimi, loves playing in a paper bag with a hole in the end. I just need to make sure that I’m quick on pulling my finger back. When I do, her paw comes flying out of the hole in the bag. I crack up every time!

I do NOT recommend laser pointer toys for dogs or cats. I agree with the experts that say it can give them OCD. These animals are our cuddly little hunters. The light is unattainable, so chasing it can be more frustrating than fun for our fur babies. 

Nearly all the cat toys below I have either seen in action or friends have recommended. I also looked for high ratings from thousands of people. I hope you find something your cat will love!
