Best of … interactive cat toys

Contributed by Tim Brugger, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru

When not lolling themselves to sleep or strutting around for no particular reason, there’s nothing cats like more than playing.

Finding toys that will keep them entertained and engaged isn’t always easy though.

With that in mind, take a look at the best of interactive cat toys; you won’t be disappointed.

Peek-a-Prize

Hide and seek for treats

Taking advantage of a cat’s already curious nature, the Peek-A-Prize interactive cat toys from KV Supply will keep your feline entertained for hours. It comes with a couple of balls to get you started, but you can also throw in puss’s existing toys as well. Then it’s up to her to find a way to dig them out of there. And since it’s made out of solid wood, you can expect it to last for years.

Feather chaser

Kitty tease

If your cat needs a little motivation to get up and moving, try tossing this little number in his face a couple of times. Oh, he’ll get moving alright, plus it’s a great time for the two of you to spend some quality play time together. And since you can find these at Pet Supplies 4 Less, you’re assured of getting yourself a great deal.

Ball on Track

Entertaining loop-de-loops

If there’s a small part, just a small part mind you, that gets a certain enjoyment from watching your cat attack something she has no chance of ever getting, this one’s for you. The Crazy Circle Cat Track from Pet Supplies Delivered comes with a ball, strategically placed inside the track. As it flies around inside, your cat will spend countless hours trying to get at it. Twisted? Perhaps, but you’ve got to admit it’s going to be a blast to watch.

Fling a String

Batteries keep it going

Some of the best interactive cat toys are those that get ole puss jumping, flipping and attacking; summoning his inner hunter. That’s exactly what will happen when you throw a few batteries into the Moody Pet Fling-Ama-String Cat Toy from Paws Choice and hang it from the nearest door knob. It rotates to shoot a brightly colored cord all over creation, with your cat right along with it.

Laser Toy

Optical tag for your kitty

Following up on the best of interactive cat toys above, this operates on the same principle, but we’re going high tech. This little beauty from EntirelyPets will have her prancing and dancing all over creation trying to capture the random laser beam that shoots out. If you’ve ever entertained your cat (and yourself) by getting her to chase a flashlight, this one’s for you. All the fun, none of the work.

Amusement park

Cat entertainment on steroids

This has got to be one of the coolest interactive cat toys on the market. A multiple level amusement center, for your cat! It even comes with a hammock for the ultimate in kitty naps, and lord knows they need their kitty naps, especially after a few hours running around this playhouse. Cherrybrook Premium Pet Supplies has a number of other designs worth checking out too.
