Cats are smart. We cat lovers know that. They get bored, like anyone would, if they aren’t stimulated. That’s why cat toys are big business. So my cats have several toys. Toby loves the little mice, while Marnie likes the feather wand. But if your cats are like mine, they get bored and want new toys.

A new bigger mouse? OK, bought one. Bought another, bigger one. Bought an even bigger one…Toby’s bored with them now.

I know cats like stuff like balled up newspaper – our late cat Ludlow loved playing with any paper product. So I cut a 2” piece off of a paper towel roll and tossed it in front of Toby. He batted it around for awhile.
