Great news! About to adopt a new cat!! Super excited and can’t get to get her (pictures to come). Although I want to prepare the house with some toys and stuff for the cat to play with and enjoy. What has worked well for you? Any toys in particular? Cat trees worth it? Hit me with your best recommendations! 😻

    this thing, works, and it’s a toy that lets you play with the kitty.

    When the cardboard tubes wear out, you can make yarn poms that work too… if you happen to know a knitter/crocheter they probably have an entire wall of yarn.

    Anything similar, really… including any kind of rod and string and ball-ish thing… my time share cat

    Also, if your cat likes cardboard scratchers, you can make strips from Amazon boxes, by getting a 2x4 cutting a corner off and using a screw to hold down a utility knife. Just run it down the edge to create strips.

    All cats will be different, though, I had the advantage talking with the old man’s cat dad about it :)

    If it’s a shelter cat, they might have an idea.
