Fun new things

At this time of year we sometimes have people ask for ideas for new toys for their cats. So, this year we have tried a few and want to share our thoughts.
1. Ball of Furry Fury - Our cats love this toy! And I love it because it's too big to roll under the furniture and get lost. They roll it around and chase it...they lay down and stick their paws in to try to get the mouse. If it rolls a certain way a little mouse squeak sound is made and they love that. It's definitely worth the money!
2. LED Motion activated ball - Despite the negative reviews on amazon, our cats love this ball. It is heavy and it is small enough to go under furniture, so it did get lost under the couch for a while...but since it's light is motion activated we were able to find it by walking by the couch and noticing the lights. It's not too pricey so it might be fun for you to try if you are looking for something new.
3. Mouse Hunter - This toy is a big hit! I have found them playing with it under the Christmas tree and in the bathroom. This toy gets around in other words :-).

Some "Oldies but Goodies" -
1. Cheese Chase - This is by far one of the favorite toys all time! Even our adult cats play with them a lot. If you don't have one, it is a great investment!
2. Mylar Balls - Another huge favorite! They do get lost under furniture, so we would recommend getting more than one.
