Can anyone reccomend a toy their cats have loved? We've had Da Bird (and the Amazon copies) he just destroys them within hours. He has the little springs which he does enjoy, he likes pom-poms but not the scrunchy foil balls.

He is a chewer and gets into trouble with that (he is flip flop cat if anyone remember we'd) so we have to be careful of the material they are made from. But he's a house cat and I'm worried he's bored, he can't go out as we live near a busy road which we lost his brother to.

What indoor wheel did you get Laura and where from? I'm considering one for TempCat as he's getting a bit podgy. But I'm not sure he'd use it and the ones I've seen are quite expensive so I'm hesitating.

OP, TempCats favouriate toy is a large cardboard which lots of packing tape he can pull off with his teeth. Beats the flipping fish and any number of wand toys though he will play with them for a bit. He also like silvervine sticks for a good chew.

It's this one. We went for a xl one as you have to make sure their spine isn't bent and he's only 11 months so wasn't sure if he would grow more. We got it on black Friday for £200, I think I've seen it with a voucher foe 200 before too. I used a lick e lix type treat to get him to do a slow walk then gradually moved it higher. He will do a minute sprint on it but doesn't seem to do much more. Guess it gets rid of his burst of energy

OMG that's huge! And your cat looks so little on it, hope he grows into it. Mind you TempCat is 6.5 kg of (allegedly) part Bengal, mainly muscle and very long with it so he'd need something pretty big. He does get the zoomies and we play chasies up the hallway a lot, just not sure I could entice him onto a wheel. I'll keep thinking about it......

He has always been quite small. Not had him weighed recently but he's always been under average.

Chester is very food motivated so that helped but he has chased toys on it too. This on has a lock on it so at first I locked it and just let him sit on it. Its like once he got on it he was like what is this but then just knew. He was running on it and im there telling him to slow down 😂
