Anything can become a toy!
Here are some of the things I use for toys:
- wrapped hard candy
- gumballs
- pennies (if in a pile so I can get my paw under them)
- leaves from the Christmas cactus
- flowers from the Christmas cactus
- golf pencils
- parts of my paper bag that I ripped off with my teeth
- even cat treats (if I’m full!)
What do you like to play with at your house?
Let me know! I can use some new toys.

While I love the laser mouse, I also have a penchant for a nice paper grocery bag (with the handles cut off – sometimes I get my head caught in the handles and it doesn’t feel good).
I used to sleep in a paper bag when I was a stray, so I feel safe and cozy in my bag.

My favorite free toy - a grocery bag!
If the laser mouse dot is running around the house and scurries into my bag, I’ll jump on the bag and imprison the dot inside.
If I really feel the huntress on me, I’ll even take nice sized bites out of the bag. My eyes are usually “wild” with the pupils enlarged when I’m in huntress mode.
One thing I don’t get, though…If I drag my bag over in front of the fire, I’ll only be allowed to sleep in it for a few minutes – Hulk doesn’t like the paper grocery bag too close to the fire for some reason. But my bed is close to the heat so I can have a nice little catnap when I want.
What’s your favorite toy? I’d love to hear from you and maybe there’s a toy I’d like to try that you love.

Hey, I was wondering if you love to chase stuff as much as I do?
I love this laser dot mouse:
Spotbrites Laser Toy W/Realistic Mouse Squeak Snd


I chase this dot all around and act like a little kitten
again. Since I can’t hear, the squeak is lost on me, but
Angel and Hulk like to add the squeak so they feel like I’m getting my
meow’s worth out of it.
This laser dot can keep my interest for a good half hour -
when I feel like it.
It’s good for me too! Chasing the dot around helps
to keep my muscles strong and supple and my reflexes sharp.
I do know that even if I don’t want to play, the first sight
of the dot will make my pupils expand and my eyes go big - hey
it’s the hunter in me!
Ask for one for Xmas – they are too cool (plus they’re on SALE)!
