Cat toys

love spoling my cats, they have their own toy box and lots of scratchers available so that they stay away from the furniture as much as possible!

My cats go crazy over this! It helps them bring out their prey instinct and tire them out. They also love anything with tails lol.

My cats love playing together with this and running through and puncing on each other. My cats fit through it and I would say they are around 12 pounds each maybe a bit less so keep that in mind if you have a bit of a chunky one lol!
