The ideal toy for cat happiness is can be something simple. Something to bat around, like a cat mouse, a pom pom, a furry ball, or something to chase, like a ball on a track, a toy attached to a wand, or a laser pointer usually does the trick. To be honest, your cat generally cares less about how his cat toys look and more about what the toy does or how it feels. Things that jingle, crinkle, or squeak are good options for some cats, while textures are more important for others. Picking the best cat toys involves knowing your cat’s individual tastes.

Many cat toys are not designed with cat safety in mind. For instance, years ago, there was a cat mouse toy that many young cats were literally biting the heads off of during unsupervised play time, and I had to remove dozens surgically during that summer. Or, take the case of certain things with tails or feathers that your cat may ingest, like certain mice, bird toys, and even feather wands. Yet another example is the make-shift cat toys that many owners allow their cats to have at home, instead of buying a cat toy at the store: elastics or hair bands. Any and all of these things can cause intestinal obstructions in cats, which can be life-threatening.
