ohhhhi love this!! never mind kids!

I made my own toy for Poppy. She broke one of the dangly toy but the stick was still in good shape. She also had a spider which she batted around but was always losing.

I got some string and tied it to the spider leg, then tied the other bit of string to the old stick! So i have a new dangly toy! The spider has a bell inside and she goes nuts! Not cost me much to make either wooo!

Sorry to ramble again LOL!

I love buying cat toys! The great thing is each of my kitties sort of as their own thing which they love!

Luka loves his treat ball! Hes a big boy who isn't a big toy fan i think because he is fat, lazy and death! it has took us months to get him to use the treat ball! He now unerstands that when i show him the ball it's play time and he will happly bat it around for ages! So thanks for the catmosphere! That looks like an interesting change for him! Also Luka loves his kong! He doesn't play for long but for an obese guy lyk Luka any exercise will do!

Poppy love dangly toys like these; she would happly play for hours if we did!

She also loves this! Again she would happly play with this for hours! Ours is a little different though but same idea! I like the fact that you can build this up into a big activity set over time!

You can get them for £10 elsewhere!

Then theres Niamh well she loves her fish and her mice! The fish she brings to us, when she wants to play! And the mice she lovesss to play fetch with! The mice get wrecked easily tho, she get £3 worth a month so 6 mice! But they make her happy so thats the main thing!

Fish:

Mice: not got a link but there little grey 1s! I buy them in pet shop so no idea where online you'd get them!

The thing they all love is the play cube! I paid £4 all in for mine of ebay and they love it, you can add cubes aswell! The good thing also is they fld down is you want to put them away. Mine lasted about 2 months! All of them love it and fight over it!!

Cube:

I am still debating whether a panic mouse or the uncover 2 is worth £20 for me it would need to last a long time which with my 3 it wouldn't! Anywayss have rambled enough about my kitties playing habbits! Hope its of some use!

[quote user="Kathryn Welsh"]The Croydon Animal Smaratins - have little old ladies that sit and knit cat nip mice for us (and other surrounding practices) BEST toy in the world by far - crammed with cat nip so they go crazy over them! And only a POUND!!! Which goes to the charity!!

do you have a link for them Kathyrn? Would be good to support such a charity

I have an original panic mouse (I think the only difference is that you can't set it on a timer) and all three of them love it.

The other toy that they all seem to love is jolly moggy cat teasers - basically a little creature on the end of a pole. Classic but brilliant!!

these went down ok (i didnt buy them) not as good as valerian teabags but pretty effective. Not indestructable unfortunately!

Best toys mine have are basically anything that they shouldnt have or they have managed to filch from somewhere

Mine like catmosphere.

Would like to get panic mouse but with 8 cats I fear it would come off worse!

A couple of my cats do my dog's dog brick.
