How important are cat toys?

[Bengalz]

My kitty loves her toys and loves to play. She flips her furry mice up in the air as high as she can and jumps to catch them She also loves to chase ribbons - these are kept from her reach to be played with only with us. She is also protective of her toys - carries each and every one to bed with her at night

I agree toys are a source of entertainment and good exercise for cats. Eve did not know how to play with toys when she first arrived. That has since changed and now everytime we give her a new toy, she's like small child at Christmas. Her collection has grown substantially and you'd think we had a 2 year old in the house

Occasionally she'll play hide and seek in a big box - actually she loves to "go for a ride in it"

A toy is anything that brings happiness and are important to everyone. Even adult humans like "toys" so why wouldn't curious cats?

for my cat, Raven, the best toys in life are free! Milk caps, loose strings, old shoe boxes, you name it...i have bought her a few kitty toys from petsmart, but she rarely plays with them (except for those catnip mice!).

My cats LOVE the Canadian catnip mice from Catmandu!! I find them all over the apartment. I try to circulate their toys (take some out, put others away for a while) so they don't get bored with them. My 12 year old cat Mollie Rose will come flying from the other end of the apartment whenever she hears me crumple up a piece of paper. She also loves balls of aluminum foil and paper bags as well.

it's amazing on how much I've learned so far from all of you. No doubt that i need to be careful with those toys too. i don't want any of the cats get choked up of some toy or something..thanks guys...

TOYS are very important!! But stores sometimes give us the impression that we have to buy them expensive and fancy toys. No, a toy doesn't have to cost much to be a true hit!!
Snoopy's favorite toy is a wrinckled supermarket ticket! She takes it between her teeth, and plays hours chasing it around as if it were a mouse!!

I have bought my cats many, many toys - only to have them play with the packaging they came in (typical cats). Right now, they have a bunch of mice toys that they really love playing with.
