Hiding games

I posted before about the best toys being the good old and simple: strings and stuff. But the very best thing you can do with a toy is to make it... hide! No amount of wriggling and dangling causes such an immediate reaction of pricked ears and shotgun pounce as dragging the string under a cushion, a rug, or my foot. Wow. If mice only knew that trying to hide is the worst thing to do...

Box games

Yes, I admit I have fallen for buying various cat toys... They come in various shapes and hanging on various devices, and some come highly praised. But it turns out that the toys that keep my babies really hooked and fascinated every day anew, are the good, old, fail-proof and obvious: piece of string, bit of crumpled paper, cardboard boxes. In fact my flat is now strewn with all of those. And I don't even mind.
