We have beautiful girl, not sure whether she will always be indoor but she had tummy issue's and not spayed yet.

Mine loves the toy springs from Amazon too, chases them all over the house. I also put cat games on the iPad once a night but he gets bored after 5 minutes.

My kittens absolutely love pipe cleaners - because they are so light they can throw them round and play with them by themselves.

I often wake up in the morning with pipe cleaners on me, where a cat has been optimistically dropping them on me during the night, hoping I will wake up and play fetch with them 😸

As a PP said, they're all different (and awkward, so take a few goes to find the right toy), but variously mine have liked foil crinkly balls, real fur toy mice (faux fur doesn't do it for them but these are hard to find) and real geckos in a tank! and you can make toys, even putting a few treats at the bottom of a pringles can makes them work for food. One christmas i made a christmas tree for them by glueing loo roll tubes on a piece of card and sticking it low down on the wall, with treats in some of the tubes. Vary which tubes each time to keep her.mind working!

If you like knitting or crochet of course the favourite toy will be the fanciest yarn in your stash, as I find to my cost. 😄

Ginger Whinger is totally obsessed with those small marketing pom-pom things that used to be common a few years ago (they had googly eyes, cardboard feet and a ribbon with adverting details on it). They seem to have disappeared recently, but I would happily pay for some as he loves them so much and plays with them for hours. He also loves the feather teaser wands from zooplus and drags them around the house looking for victims to play with him.

Following on from above, I had to ban screen time when the Blue Eyed Boss worked out how to open my iPad and I woke up to a million cat selfies!
