FAQ
What if my cat still ignores this?
Change category before buying a similar toy. Try feather, floor prey, food puzzle, tunnel ambush, scratch-and-bat, or quiet solo play one at a time.
Can I leave these toys out?
Only after a supervised test. Put away string, feather, loose-part, and noisy motor toys if they stress your cat or create safety risk.
