Interactive Cat Toys That Actually Work

If you’ve ever bought a pricey cat toy only to see your cat ignore it in favor of a cardboard box, you’re not alone. Cats are picky, but they’re also wired for play that taps into their instincts. The good news? Certain toys consistently pass the feline approval test.

What Works (and Why)

• Laser Pointers – The ultimate chase game. Cats love the thrill of “hunting,” but remember to let them “catch” something at the end to avoid frustration.
• Cat Tunnels – Hide, pounce, and zoom through — tunnels appeal to every cat’s curiosity.
• Scratcher Boards with Toys – Satisfies the need to claw while doubling as a play zone.

What Fails (Most of the Time)

• Hair Ties – Cats love them, but they’re dangerous if swallowed.
• Plastic Bags – Crinkly but risky, not a safe choice.
