Cat toys

[itsbob]

Actually, you know what? Chasey gave me an idea:

Would it be cruel to get a hamster so that she could watch it? Not cruel to her, but cruel to the hamster having this predatory cat peering in at it all the time. Do you think the hamster would care?

And get the hamster one of those balls so he can scamper around the house and drive the cat crazy!!?

I'm looking for some good toys to stuff in Claudia's stocking. (Yes, my cat gets a stocking - shut up about it.)

She's an older cat - 13 - and isn't particularly playful. I tried the kitty fishing toy and she just sits and stares at it before turning her back. She'll occasionally chase a ball and she gets wound up over her catnip mouse.

Any other ideas?

Get her a kitten!

Get her a kitten!

a roll of toilet paper?

 

[belvak]

How about one of these? Wouldn't fit in the stocking, but ours like it so much, we had to buy one for each cat.

See, NOW you're thinking. That would be a riot and surely keep the cat entertained. But I'm worried that it would traumatize the hamster.

Can hamsters have heart attacks?

OMG, that sounds like a lot of fun (well, except for maybe the hamster). He may not have a heart attack, but he'll have a lot of poo in his ball by the end of the day.

She'll...

Any other ideas?

...have a blast with these;

I'd let her open them privately however.

Maybe instead of a hamster, I could get something that I didn't care if it croaked. Like a mouse or something. Then if it keels from a heart attack, I can just flush it and get a new mouse.

What are they - like a buck or two each?

Not really...but in addition to all that hampster poop, you will have trails of hampster pee allover your floors!!!

Go buy a small remote controled car. and cover it if fake fur...that is FUN!!!

My daughter used to have a windup hamster - Harry the Happy Hamster - that would roll around in it's hamster ball. That would be perfect if I could find one of them again.

Found this... Used to see things like this at KayBee Toys and such all the time.

That's perfect!

I bumped the "Ferrets and hamsters need adopting" thread for you... but I'm not sure if your 4 page application for a hamster that will be used to amuse your cat will pass...

I'll just lie and say it's for a pet and I'll promise to keep it indoors. I mean, that's the truth, if I word it properly.

I think I'll get my cat a series of cardboard boxes so he can stuff his tubby butt in them.

 

[Larry Gude]

I'm getting...

...my cat a lump of coal for Christmas and shoving it up his azz.

Hoepfully, it will be so cold this winter I'll have diamonds by Easter.

I'm getting the kitten a gift certificate......to the vet to get her repro organs removed.

stuff a large sock with paper towels and lots of good qual catnip. I call them "sock monsters" and my cats love them. they like the crinkly sound of the paper and, of course, they love the catnip. one on my guys eventually rips the sock to shreds.

also like the idea of getting a kitten.
