If you are a proud parent to a feline fur baby (like me), chances are, you’re always on the look out for ways to make them happy.
When it comes to value for money, you really can’t go past something simple like a box.
Fleur is also particularly fond of an old shoe lace, which she drags around the house, miaowing loudly, to let us know she has “caught” it – and expects us to praise her mightily!
She’s also been known to go a bit silly chasing a straw, or a cotton tip.
However, we have found that there are some “real” cat toys which have proven to be winners with Fleur – so if you are stuck for ideas on how to spoil your cat, here are some which have earned Miss Fleur’s paw of approval.
Cat Scratching Tree
Miss Fleur loves her cat scratching tree, and has claimed the top perch for her own. As you can see in this pic, she didn’t even wait for me to finish building it before checking it out!
However it must be said that the dangly mice didn’t last for long – although she did get a heck of a lot of enjoyment out of them while they lasted!
As you can see, both of our cats thought it was just purr-fect for catnaps (this was in the days before we had to separate them).
We bought our cat scratching tree online at Crazy Sales, which has a large variety of styles available – as well as other cat toys – often at reduced prices.
Hammock Bed
Recently we attached a cat hammock bed to the family room window, and it has quickly become Fleur’s absolute favourite spot as she can survey the whole backyard from her perch while enjoying the sea breezes.
Cat Tunnel
Fleur also loves to play in her cat tunnel . In fact hers is looking a bit the worse for wear, it’s had some loving over the years!
Self-Groomer
When I bought a cat self-groomer, I wondered if it would just be a gimmick but to my surprise Fleur often rubs herself up against it – though not through it, as I would have expected.
So, we ended up putting it over her cat tunnel. It saves room, and stabilises the tunnel on these days when she gets a bit boisterous in her play!
On Fleur’s Wish List
Although she is quite spoiled already, Miss Fleur was browsing the Crazy Sales website recently and came up with a bit of a wish list …
Good thing that Christmas is just around the corner 😉 !
What is your fur baby’s (cat or dog, I’m not species-ist) favourite toy?!
