Vincent’s Top Picks
1. Nocciola Cat Toys, 3 Pack Cigarette
Vinny got these as a gift from me on his birthday last year. I decided now that he’s in his senior years he’s allowed a vice or two. In all seriousness these are the best catnip toys I’ve purchased and watching him play with them is equally enjoyable for me.
2. Catstages Nina Ottosson Buggin’ Out Puzzle & Play
Vincent is an incredibly smart cat. He needs constant mental stimulation. This puzzle offers two challenge levels and keeps him entertained while enriching his mind.
3. Barkwhiz Dog Puzzle Toy 3 Levels
Yes that’s right, a DOG puzzle for my cat. If you find your cat is too smart for a simple cat puzzle, this one is sure to change the game. Vinny’s favorite area of this puzzle is the push lever.
4. GoCat Da Bird Rod and Feather Cat Toy
I don’t know what GoCat is doing to make these bird toys more enticing than the other brands but it is WORKING. Vincent goes absolutely feral for Da Bird.
5. 120 Pack Cat Spring Toy
You may be thinking “do I need 120 of these?” The answer is yes. This is the ultimate spoiled cat experience. Springs are flying around my house as I type.
6. Waaiio Automatic Moving Cat Ball in Pouch
This ball GOES! It runs all over my house like a small animal and chirps like one too. It turns on by itself (not unlike a cursed Furby) and get’s Vincent hunting like a tiger in the wild. The pouch is nice for keeping the ball contained but I usually let it on the lose.
7. SAFAVIEH Home Collection Tufted Velvet 24-inch Round Floor Pillow
Stop buying “pet beds”, buy high quality floor pillows they’ll actually use for the same price as a pet store thin gross bed. This one expands beyond Vincent and has been loved by more than one of my lovely cats. They turn their noses up at regular cat beds.
8. Beastie Band Cat Collar
These are my go to pick for cat collars. They are soft, stretchy, and comfortable. No hard plastic to dig into skin here. My cats are usually collarless but when I’m out of town or take them out of the house I pop their Beastie Band on with an air tag just in case.
9. YEOWWW! Banana 3 Pack
Yeoww brand catnip toys are fan favorite in this house! These bananas get tossed around all day long. I recommend getting the 3 pack to keep the fun going.
10. One Fast Cat – Cat Exercise Wheel
I’m putting this item last on the list as it may be out of many cat parent’s price range, but from my experience it was worth ever penny. Vincent runs like Cheetah on this wheel every day. We’ve had the One Fast Cat Wheel for about 5 years and it’s been his go to for stimulation from day 1.
