Cat Toys

I've spent a modest amount of a lot of money on cat toys over the years. One of my favorites was the plastic rod with a nylon cord on the end, and a little connector at the end that allowed you to put various lures on the end. When I first saw that one, I knew it was The Toy to End All Toys. I bought it and a couple of different lures, knowing that when she got tired of one, I'd just change them out and have a fresh toy!

I've had that toy for three cats now. And every single one of them liked/likes it best when I take the lure off and slide the connector up out of the way, so they could play with the plain string.

I finally gave up and removed the connector. Just like the kid ignoring the expensive toy and playing with the box, they want "Da String!"

So just get yourself some kind of flexible rod about three feet long, and attach a similar length of cord to it. That's all you need to drive your cat crazy keep your cat exercised.
