Kitty cat toy shopping tip: Don't bother.
You know those white plastic pull-tabs they're putting on the cardboard half & half (or cream or soy milk) containers these days?? You know, the round ones with a kind of ring attached? Well, my 11-year-old thinks they are THE BEST toy ever invented!! Even though I've got probably $300 worth of cat toys in a basket in the living room, it just doesn't come close to those white pull-tab thingies!! In the entire time I've had her, I've never seen Tiggy come close to playing as vigously and enthusiastically as she does when she's batting around one of those things. David and I made a special trip to the store to buy a wooden yard stick....I mean a "magic stick"... which is used to "voila!" retreive these thingies from underneath the stove and refrigerator. Tig also likes to carry it around in her mouth and holler at the same time. Eli prefers the racquetball scenario.... he takes it into the shower stall and bounces it off the tile walls.
They're certainly not boring, that's for sure.
Try it.... toss one of those white pull-tab thingies on the floor for your cat the next time you get one. See what kitty does with it!
