my indoor cat loves them, it keeps him busy all day

you will be amazed at what a plain brown bag can do for a cat…woo-hoo hours of fun ( cats are weird)

Those little mice are always fun too.

I had a toy that was a feathery thing attached to a suction cup that left on the window that my cat loved to play with…

Have fun!

Catnip or a Mechanical Mouse

Try little white mice (about 4 should do the trick). This will keep her occupied for quite a while.

each cat is unique as we all know, but my cats will tell you, those cheap catnip-filled mice from Walmart / Target / KMart that cost between 99 cents and $2 are the best, sure they get lodged under the couch and in corner-type places but they sure do love getting them as the 1000′s of years of instinct to be a ‘mouser’ takes over. I gotta tell ya, makes the cats happy.

Also if you can get a small section of mohair from a fabric store, and place on a yeardtcik attached to some string, you can get them to run around chasing it going back and forth and back again. When they get it in their mouth they’ll growl, lick the itme, bite it and walk away until you do it again after sitting on it as to ensure it not running away from them

best of luck, cats are great

My cat loves to play with this mechanical mouse that I have that you whined it up and it runs all over the house. She chases it all over the place. It is so cute!

Pom-Poms are good and cheap toys my cats love them, I wonder do you have a Dollarama where you live?? if so go there everything really is only a dollar and they have great cat toys…like stuffed mouse on a spring stuck on a platform, furmice on springs with suction cups you can stick on your windows etc, mine also love the tiny fur mice and twine balls with feathers on them. But the ultimate toy is a cat tree with some homemade toys hanging off of it like pipecleaners with jinglebells on them or yarn with a crumpled piece of paper tied on the end, tinfoil balls bottle caps, those plastic rings from pop bottles, pencils just thrown on the floor and dont laugh…rubber drain plugs like the kind in your bathroom sink…….stuffed animals (small ones like beanie babies) Cats will play with just about everything…just avoid leaving string out when you are gone as they sometimes eat it.( I know mine do) So go through your junk drawer and throw some of your empty film cannisters and stray clothespins or broken pencils or bouncy balls out of gumball machines on the floor and watch your cat have a ball

Experience…4 Cats

My cats love those little furry mice, and little stuffies, that have catnip inside. We have tons of rings from milk jugs hangin around our house! They like to scratch, so, make sure you have a couple scratching posts. We have a small round one, then a card board one, and then we made a 6 ft tall post, a couple of 2 by 4′s, and roll if cheap carpet, have you ever noticed the cost of those big things at Pet stores?? Our cats love to climb it, when you have enough stuff to occupy your cat like that, they dont bother the furniture.

It’s hard to say. They all are so different. Our little guy likes to steal pens, pencils, and any plastic lid. I don’t let him have the ring from the gallon of milk cause he chews on it and I’m afraid he’ll get a piece off, perhaps ingesting or choking.
I agree that the kitty tower is a great idea. He bats at anything hung on it. Of course the toys don’t stay attached very long.
His big adopted brother is bored by all toys. He was an outdoor cat before we rescued him and probably only enjoy a live bird.
BTW, I applaud your decision to keep kitty indoors.

A laser pointer. This is the best cat toy I’ve ever found and I stumbled on it by accident when my cat started to chase the light spot from the Sun being reflected from my watch crystal while I was moving my arm doing something. Later that day, as I was remembering this, the idea of using a laser pointer hit me. I tried it and all of our cats loved chasing it until they were exhausted. This was years ago. Recently I’ve seen laser-pointer cat toys for sale in pet stores.

Other things that work really well (these may repeat suggestions above):
(1) toy mice (especially those treated with catnip);
(2) little foam-rubber balls;
(3) a toy that you can make or buy ("Kitty Tease"). It’s a flexible rod (e.g. part of a fishing rod) with fishing line and a little cloth "lure" at the end. Once you get the hang of the wrist action, you can make it move in ways that drive cats wild for some reason.
(4) There’s a toy that’s a dough-nut-shaped ring with a tubular/circular cross-section and with a slot (big enough for a cat’s paw) in the side and a ping-pong ball inside. They vary in diameter; most are 1 to 2 feet. The cat can reach inside, hit the ball, making it fly around inside and driving the cat wild. I have 3 cats now and they all love this. We have two of them.
(5) two household items they like to play with are rubber bands and those little "twisty" (wire wrapped in paper) things for closing plastic bags. My wife worries that these aren’t safe, however, because they might swallow them.

I added some links under "Sources" below. These may be helpful too.

Milk rings!!!!!!!! They’re free and loads of fun for kitty. Oh, and any elastic hair tie that I have just taken out of my hair. (the black ouchless type)

Also anything that they can climb on or into. My cat loves boxes, paper bags, suitcases, etc…

I have found that my cat is like a kid, he finds more enjoyment in household items rather than in the store bought stuff.

Observation & experience

Catnip is a good one. Also anything that makes noise. They also like those little tiny toy mice you see sold in packs everywhere. And if you are tight on cash you wouldnt believe how many household items cats love. Mine love the plastic rings from the caps on the milk jugs, toilet paper cardboard rolls, 2 liter pop bottle caps, a balled up piece of paper, Oh they also go crazy over those laser lights.

My cats like those toys on a long thin stick, like feathers.

One of my cats prefers catnip "mice" and she’ll play with those for hours.

I also got a cat tree from Walmart for about $35 which goes right to the ceiling. The cats can run up and down the "tree" and play on its shelves.
