My santa sent my kitties some awesome new toys! I have two permanent residents that are 12 and 8, as well as any number of foster kittens at any given time.

The first toy is a wooden box with holes that you put toys in so the cats have to think! The kittens aren't that smart yet, but I'll work with training my adult cats and the mama cat currently staying with me on it. It's super sturdy, which is great for fosters!

The second toy is a wire toy! Instead of the normal string, it has a wire with some cardboard at the end for cats to chase. I know it sounds simple, but I didn't realize until I started playing how genius that is. Since its wire, moving it causes it to bounce in random ways, which cats love. I had all four kittens chasing it at once, which is a feat for kitten attention spans. Mom even joined in! It is very funny to see a mom knock her kitten out of the way during the "hunt". It also came with a holder so that the cats could play without me!

EDIT: a second package arrived with another wire toy and a fleece string toy (promising to not break!) Amazon shipped it in a GIANT box with tons of packing material, so the kittens got an extra gift! Thank you again SS!

Rest assured, the kittens also enjoyed the packing material. Thank you santa for my awesome toys! They'll be enjoyed for years to come!
