There is something extra fun about buying toys for furry kids at Christmas time, though.

I absolutely love the Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) pictured here. You’ll want to click through to see, not only this adorable cat and toys bigger but other precious cats wearing the bandana as well. Trust me, the cuteness is NEXT LEVEL!

Our cats (inside and outside) love scratching posts. I always think it’s funny to see the outside cats getting such a kick out of the one on the carport because… let’s face it… they have the best scratching posts in the world – a big yard full of trees! Yet, they seem to prefer the big one on the carport to all the rest.

Never, ever try to figure out how a cat’s mind works!

I love this cactus cat scratching post (Amazon link) as much as any I’ve ever seen. It is unexpected, sturdy, great looking, and endless fun and entertainment for “toddlers in fur.”

Moving Fish Cat Toy (Has to be Seen to be Believed!)

April 17, 2020 By Joi

As someone who has had feline children all of her life (and always more than one, mind you), I’ve seen my share of cat toys. In fact, on any given day and at any given hour, I can be found within two feet of at least one.

It’s not unusual to wake up with one on my pillow!

A cat toy I just saw on Amazon, a Moving Fish Cat Toy, is one I plan to buy for our cats soon… I just hope it never lands on my pillow.

From Amazon:

  • Moving Cat Kicker Toy – Whenever your cat touches it, the built-in motion sensor of the cat fish toy will automatically swing or sway to attract the cat’s attention. When you are not at home, this fish is the best playmate of the cat
  • Plush Material, Soft and Comfortable – Made of high-quality plush fabric, filled with pp cotton and organically grown catnip, Moving cat kicker fish toy has a calming and relaxing effect on cat mood. Soft and comfortable
  • Easy to Clean with Zipper Design -The plush flopping fish can be washed and replaced, and the infused chargeable motor is detachable for convenient cleaning of the plush toy
  • USB Chargeable – The interactive pets chew bite can be recharged in cycles, and the USB cable is included in the package, which can save huge battery costs
  • Safe and Durable – A very realistic fish shape that attracts more cats’ attention. Using 3D printing process does not make products fade, safe and non-toxic. It can not only bring a lot of fun to the cat, but also strengthen the cat’s daily exercise and make it more lively and healthy

Ingenious Interactive Cat Toy: Entertains Your Cat Even When You Are Away!

November 10, 2019 By Joi

Of course you buy toys for your cat(s) for Christmas – those of us blessed enough to have cats in our lives treat them like the tiny furry children that they are!

If you’re anything like me, you not only buy them toys for Christmas, you’re often guilty of giving them some of their toys early!

I’m fixing to order the Interactive Cat Toy pictured here on Amazon and I absolutely cannot promise that my babies won’t get it as soon as it arrives. I’m crazy anxious to see them having fun chasing it around!

One of the coolest things about this toy is the fact that it can entertain your cat(s) even when you’re away from home.

Cat Tunnels: Endless and Exciting Fun for Cats!

September 26, 2019 By Joi


All good cat parents know just how important it is to provide plenty of fun and excitement for their “babies.” Cat boredom is a very real and very sad reality. A healthy and happy cat is one who doesn’t have a boring day in his or her life!

Naturally this means making sure our cats have interesting toys, furniture of their own, and different opportunities to explore and play.

Cat tunnels aren’t just fun for cats, they’re CRAZY fun for cats. The 3-Way Leopard Print Cat Tunnel pictured above is available in the leopard print as well as a variety of other patterns/colors.  Floral and giraffe print are just a few of the others.

 

A Few Tips for Providing Exciting Fun for Your Cat:

  • Rotate your cat’s toys (keeping their absolute favorite toy available at all times, however!). Tuck some away and bring out new ones – this keeps your cat interested and excited. It also helps the toys last longer.
  • Buy some catnip spray to add a little extra fun to your cat’s toys. Catnip Spray is also great when introducing your cat to a new bed, cat tree, or scratching post.
  • Always, always, always keep safety in the front of your mind. Check and double-check all cat toys to make sure there are not parts that can get stuck in your cat’s throat. Also, keep in mind that gift wrapping ribbon is a huge chocking hazard.
  • Never underestimate a good old-fashioned cardboard box. My cats often enjoy the box their toys or furniture arrive in as much as the gift, itself. Fortunately, the toys and furniture last longer… they look a lot better too!

Plush Fabric-Lined Cat Condo…. Oooh La La

March 23, 2019 By Joi

The Trixie Fabric-Lined Cat Condo (pictured here) is a heckuva lot of fun just waiting for a lucky, pampered, and most of all loved cat to enjoy. Any good cat parent knows that keeping a cat entertained and engaged is good for her physically, mentally, and emotionally. Providing your cat with novel, new, and exciting opportunities keeps her on her toes… and adorable toes, at that.

I love everything about this cat condo – its great looks, reasonable price, and the many opportunities for a cat to explore and enjoy. She can even hide out inside and plan her sneak attack.

We all know how much cats love the sneak attack.

I also love that it’s compact and close to the ground, meaning that even the clumsiest cat will be perfectly safe from harm.

One of my cats, Alexa, fits this description perfectly. Even she couldn’t cause a disaster with this cat furniture.

When it comes to keeping things fun and exciting for indoor cats, we like to rotate cat toys, scratching posts, and even cat furniture. It makes each of their treasured possessions last longer but, more importantly, it keeps things fresh and new for them – something outside cats are awarded with, by God, on a daily basis.

We have to provide the fun and variety for inside babies.

Features:

  • Wrapped in soft plush inside and out
  • Condo lined in plush fabric
  • Natural sisal scratching surface
  • Dangling plush toys inside

Product Description:

The Topi Cat Condo will provide endless opportunities for your cats to play, scratch, explore or just relax. This stylish piece of cat furniture combines the best of both worlds: a condo hideaway and a scratching surface. Felines can sharpen their claws on the large scratching surface wrapped in durable sisal instead of on your furniture or carpet. If a nap or a place to hide is in order, the cat can crawl inside the kitty condo which is covered in plush fabric both inside and out, making it the perfect retreat. Feeling a little spunky? Taunt the plush toys suspended inside, sure to peak your little hunter’s interest. Suitable for cats of all ages and activity levels. One year warranty. Color: chocolate brown. Dimensions (inches): 18 x 12 x 13; condo opening 6 x 6. Weight: 3 pounds.

This Cat Furniture with Scratching Surface is available on Amazon – click through for a closer look and more information.

24 Cat Toys with a 2-Way Cat Tunnel Spell the Purrfect Christmas Gift For Cats

October 6, 2018 By Joi

Well this is a must have Cat Toy Collection if I ever saw one. It went right into my Amazon cart the minute I saw it. While I’m thinking that it’ll be a great gift idea for our cats on Christmas morning, I might just break it out earlier as a diversion from the tree, presents, and other decorations.

Every diversion helps with toddlers – whether they have fur or not!

The past few Christmases, in fact, we’ve kind of done a “25 Days of Christmas” thing with our cats where we give them a new toy or something extra fun each day to help keep them occupied and the tree standing! Some days it was as simple as a paper bag from the grocery store or an emptied Amazon box.

24 pieces cat toys include a collapsible Cat Tunnel (something our cats are obsessed with), Cat Teaser Wand, Interactive Feather Toy, Fluffy Mouse, Crinkle Balls, Balls with Feathers, etc.

Cat Toys: Best Variety Pack I’ve Found is on Amazon

June 5, 2018 By Joi

Huck with Toy

A few years ago I found a way to BOTH make Christmas last all year long AND be able to actually afford to get the things for my family (with fur and without) without breaking the bank over a span of two months: I buy things throughout the year and hide them safely away. Most of my shopping is done on Amazon – which is where I bought this great Cat Toys Variety Pack from.

I intended to save it for Christmas morning and open it for our cats… but… well… as you can see, things don’t always go as planned.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys

When UPS brought the Amazon box, the cats came running. They know that an UPS delivery always, always, always means they get a new box to play with. When they gathered around, I couldn’t help but think what a fun afternoon it’d be if I gave them this gift early.

As you can see, the thought of it was more than I could fight off and we had a little Christmas in May party right then and there!

Dokkie and Cat Toys

Their excitement and joy was palpable and reminded me of kids… the ones that walk on two feet (generally) and aren’t covered with hair… on Christmas morning. Furry kids get just as excited – going in circles, not knowing which toy to play with first.

If you have cats, you know exactly what I mean when I say that I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – them or me.

Babies with Toys

This is a wonderful Cat Toys Variety Pack – it was even better than I’d expected it to be. For such a great price (between $12 – $13), I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect from each individual toy. I was surprised and delighted to see that the quality was excellent. Each toy is very, very well made and is standing up to intense play perfectly!

Cats with Toys

 

Features:

  • Contains Assorted 20 toys.
  • Keep your cat busy when you are away.
  • Give your cat a way to release his energy with this combo pack of entertaining toys. Featuring feathers, balls and catnip, mice and more this pack is the perfect choice for your furry friend.
  • supervise your pet. For play only. Not a child”s toy. Toy should be removed and replaced if excessive wear or damage occurs.
  • Holiday, birthday or everyday, this cat treats/toys gift set is just what your kitty ordered.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys 2

I tried to take several pictures to show off the variety of toys – as well as our babies enjoying them… but it’s very difficult to photograph excited, fast-moving cats!

Delilah, Dokkie, and Huck with Toys

The picture at the bottom is of Nacho and was taken a few hours after the toys had arrived and had been played with fiercely. Each cat was worn out (just like human kids!) and had found their own favorite place to recuperate and conserve energy. Nacho was in his favorite bed, resting up from all the activity – I pranced one of the toys in front of him and he sat right up.

Sure enough, he hopped back up and decided it was playtime again. The girls (one at a time) all joined in and we had another round.

In the weeks since, the toys are played with again and again. I like to gather them all together and present them like I did that day – the excitement is the same each time.

Again… I am not sure who enjoys it all the most, but I think she might just be typing these words.
