Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've never bought my cats any toys because they have simple trash they like to play with. All my 5 cats enjoy playing with newspaper since they were little.
I'll pile up long sheets of newspaper and sort of lift them in the middle as a tent, I wiggle them a little bit and they just find them irresistible.
They'll jump on them, crawl under them, bite and rip them to shreds.
I also sew little pillows maybe 2 by 2 inches and stuff them with old fabric, cotton, or a little of catnip. I sew a long piece of yard to one end and I'll make them chase it. I tire before they do and they have lots of fun jumping and running around.
Max also enjoys the milk bottle ring. You know, when you take the cap off a milk gallon there's a ring on the bottom, I take them out and just throw them on the ground and Max will go crazy with them. She'll throw it in the air and chase it. Bite on it. Push it around the kitchen's chairs, ignore it and then pounce on it.
I also close all the doors in the hall way and leave my cats outside in the hallway while I'm in a room. I wiggle and pull on a newspaper beneath the rim of the door and they will try to catch it and grab it. I have wood floors, so there's a nice gap between the door and the floor. They'll even lie down to see where the paper's coming from and they will try to look inside the room through the gap. They're all so beautifully cute!

Dolly's favorite toys are pistashio nuts, twist ties, pipe cleaners, and rugs. She'll play with her cat dancer every once in a blue moon. She'll carry cat n** mice to me but won't chase them when I throw them. She tends to prefer to play with them by herself.

Macray used to drink out of the faucet, though she was never much for getting herself wet.

I've discovered that an empty Kleenex box with an kind of small cat toy inside is good for hours of entertainment. Violet will pick up her toy mice and put them in the box and then stick her paws and head inside and roll around withe the box trying to get them out. Hilarious heart

Granola likes hair ties. She likes to play fetch with them as well o.o;
