I have always found that my kitties loved the simple things to play with. Store bought items turned out to be a waste of money.

My favorite story is of Sugar (R/B) who received a darling mouse from friends at Christmas. He dutifully played with it in front of them - and they were so pleased. They left, and he never, ever touched it again. It always made me laugh.

Rascal loves the laser pointer - but is pretty wise and knows that it is me..........he stares right into my hand - but he goes along with it and will run the length of the house as I point the way for him.

Pencils were something that I could not keep on a desk. Patches used to push every pen or pencil right off of my desk unless I put it in a jar. And just try to wrap a present with some ribbon.........

I would tape a piece to a table and it would drive my kitties into a frenzy trying to get it down.
