I’m on the Petco website,
and I saw this toy that shoots a laser out for the cat to chase
I know laser can blind animals and people, so I’m wonder how safe this could be in case my kitten looks directly at the laser
also,
in your opinion what toys are best for cats/kittens?
It’s only a problem if the light shines directly into the eye. Cats chase the little red dot, they don’t generally go investigate the bit in your hand.
Personally, I like laser pointers, as well as the toys like fishing poles with feathers or sparkly thing sat the ends. Great for interactive play with your kitties.
In this video, I will show you how to make a cool, fun, inexpensive cat toy.

My cat seems bored and is getting into alot of mischief.
He has some rolley balls that jingle and cat nip in little baggies. But he seems bored with his toys. What does your cat like to play with?
If you don’t already have a cat tree, I highly recommend buying or building one. Cats have an instinctive need to climb. My cat LOVE climbing around and playing on their cat trees.
Their favorite toys now that they’re older seem to be interactive toys – a laser pointer, ‘da bird’ http://www.go-cat.com/order.htm , a long shoestring, a tape measure – anything with me on the other end making it seem lifelike.
My cats enjoy exploring and lurking: Empty boxes and paper bags (no handles – if they have handles, cut them off) are great fun for them.
For batting around, they seem to mostly prefer lightweight things – some toys they like include soft fluffy lightweight balls (stored in a bag with catnip to make them smell good), a small crinkled-up ball of paper, pen caps, milk jug rings, straws, little furry toy mice, Rosie Rat http://www.thecatconnection.com/page/TCC/PROD/TYS-MICE/TYS-0885 ,a small toy mouse that squeaks http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=6837 , a Wooley Bully mouse http://www.cattoys.com/wooleybully.html , and a yeowww catnip cigar http://www.thecatconnection.com/page/TCC/PROD/SALE/YEOW-6949 (the longest-lasting catnip toy I’ve ever found, and I’ve been buying them catnip toys for years – that Yeoww catnip must be STRONG!).
Some male cats like to wrestle – one of my boy cats loves to tackle & kick his giant fur rat toy (I can’t find a link, though). A new, clean wooly paint roller or furry stuffed animal with catnip on it would make a good ‘snuggle & kick’ toy. If your cat doesn’t react to catnip, you might try honeysuckle: http://www.thecatconnection.com/page/TCC/CTGY/TYS-HON
There are also kitty puzzle toys -I haven’t tried this one with my cats yet, but it looks like they might like it: http://www.thecatconnection.com/page/TCC/PROD/TYS-INTERACT/TYS-5822
You might try a treat toy, to keep him busy: http://www.cattoys.com/treattoys1.html
