[catmandu]

You can even use an Old Shoe Lace,or Crumble Up a piece of paper.
You dont have to go to a lot of expense for Cat Toys.
And put some Old Towels in a Cardboard Box,and Viola,Instant Cat Bed!!

Felix never sleeps in his bed he loves his fleece blankets to sleep on.As for homemade toys you can try this.

• A ball of tinfoil(Its nice and shiny)

• Tie something at the end of a string/rope(feather,bell,)Tie it to a door knob for hours of entertainment.

• Large Pasta noodle(Felix loves to bat around a noodle on the kitchen floor)

• Cut holes in a box and play catch me if you can with your hands or a string.

Hope these are a help.There may be tons of play toys in your home ,you will be surprised once you hunt around.Good luck with it

NO WICKER! Cats like wicker a little too much - we used to have a wicker chair and my two completely tore it apart.

well for cat toys you cna use a simple shoe lace or peice of string. a ball of aluminum foil or paper is fun for them too.

for a bed just get a box and put some old towels in it. sometimes i like to be creative and tape a bunch of boxes together and put them upside down. put a hole in it and a few small windows. my kitten loves to play in it, it's like there own little kitty house.

I have found a small fishing rod with a toy attached to the line works good for a inactive cats they love to chase the toy as you reel the line up. This is a fun game. Some of the crazy moves they make is priceless. My cats love to sleep on fleece also I just leave blankets all over our furniture. My husband loves to make blanket tents all over the furniture while we are away at work and the cats just love to play hide and seek. Milk Rings! Milk Rings! Milk Rings! they will play for hours.

Here are some really inexpensive beds we have had for the kitties

( free box from the local grocery store )



(cheap wicker basket with fleece insert from Wal-mart)


(my computer chair..not cheap but serves as a cozy bed, as you can see)




(ok..this one is not really a good recomendation , but it can be used as a bed ,I suppose)



and finally a free box from costco serves as a very cozy place.




Hope this was of some help to you.

I forgot to add , Yes blankets do make good resting places too:

Sometimes on top of the blankets ( as demonstrated below )







Or cuddled up underneath the blanket ( again, as demonstrated below )
