(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best catnip toys

Congratulations on a new cat! This is going to be long, but trust me, it'll be worth it.

Cats are simple and relatively cheap to take care of. They really just need six basic things to be happy on a daily basis.

1. Quality food. Firstly, remember that cats are not omnivores like dogs. They are obligate carnivores which means they can't survive if they don't eat meat. Do not try to put them on vegan diets, and try to avoid feeding them too much grain. Don't be too quick to grab the cheapest food you can find because cheap pet food have low quality ingredients and lots of filler. Experts say that feeding cheap food to pets is the human equivalent of eating McDonald's every meal of the day. When it comes to feeding them human food, google "what human food can cats eat" and you'll get plenty of information. Also note that almost all cats are lactose intolerant. Giving them bowl-fulls of milk or cream can get very detrimental. Of course, no chocolate, ever!
   
2. Clean water. Surprisingly large amount of people don't know that pets require clean water too. Whatever water is fit for humans is what you should be giving your cat.
   
3. Scratcher or a cat tree. Ideally, you'd provide a multi-tiered cat tree with beds and scratching posts included so that it can be a one stop relief station for your cat. That's where they can destress by scratching, stimulate by play and exercise, and relax by sleeping. This is a really good example of an all-in-one tree. But if you want to opt for a simple scratcher, it would suffice as long as you provide alternatives for their other needs.
   
4. Regularly cleaned litter box. Get a low dust litter to reduce the risk of allergies for both you and your cat. I prefer natural wood or walnut based litter because it smell less of chemicals and are environmentally friendly, but that's up to you. There are so many kinds of litter out there, but I recommend the clumping type. As for the size, the litter box should be big enough for your cat to comfortably turn around in.
   
5. 10 minutes of interactive play time with you. Most cats just need 10 minutes of active playtime and they're good to go. You'll know when they had enough play because they'll let you know. The best toys are wand toys that mimic birds or mice. Avoid giving cats strings, ribbons, or yarn because even though cats LOVE to play with those, those are easily snapped apart by teeth and cats tend to swallow them. Opt for something like the cat dancer toy instead if your cat shows a strong preference towards ribbony toys. Watch some videos about how to pet or play with cats because they are very different from dogs! (Many people don’t realise this.) You’ll start to figure to out what works best as you get to know your new feline family member better.
   
6. Regular grooming. This includes trimming their nails, brushing their fur, brushing their teeth, and the occasional trip to a professional groomer. Nails need to be trimmed for both the human's and the cat's safety. Just make sure you learn how to trim them by watching YouTube videos. I recommend nail scissors over other types. Shorthair cats can go with brushing once a week, but longhair cats have to brushed at the minimum once every 2 to 3 days to avoid matting and vomiting up furballs from ingesting too much loose fur while grooming themselves. Matting is when the fur gets tangled up so bad that it becomes a hard ball of fur that have to be removed by cutting or shaving. It can get painful for the cat so it's best practice to brush them as often as possible. Recommended brushes are slicker brushes and furminator brushes when trying to take out matts. As for their oral health, majority of pet owners aren't aware that cats (and dogs) actually do need to get their teeth brushed every single day even if you get dental cleanings (which are done under full anaesthesia) at the vet annually. Brushing can extend the amount of time between each full dental cleaning and also, reduce the risk of them losing their teeth as they get older. Works just like humans. You can use pet toothpaste and baby toothbrushes or specially made pet toothbrushes to do this. You can find everything you need at your local pet supply store.
   
   And of course, collar tags and yearly vet visits are always recommended for long term benefits.
   
   As for safety, most cat experts say cats do best as strictly indoor pets but a lot of owners prefer to let them come and go as they please. I’m a firm believer in keeping mine indoors so I keep windows and doors closed at all times. If they want to go outside, I'll accompany them with a cat harness.
   
   Phew, hope you made it all the way to the end. Good luck with your new pet!

Declawing is the same as surgically removing the last bone from each of your fingertips. Learn to keep the cat's nails trimmed correctly. Too short and if a cat's not used to it, they can't walk, run, or jump without wobbling until they grow back.

Not all cats like scratching posts -- mine prefers cardboard, but not the 'on-edge' cardboard cat scratchers, so my dad helped me add a wooden 'tray' to the top of the post in which I place flat squares of cardboard cut from boxes. She scratches and sleeps there, and sometimes just perches there to watch out the window. Don't get a carpet-covered scratching post or pad unless you want to teach your cat that scratching carpet is a good idea. =P

I have a Booda Dome for a litter box -- she still tracks some litter. I don't think there's a system out there that will keep cats from tracking any. Some litters are better than others. Covered litter boxes are nice for the humans, but not all cats will adapt to the flaps. Some litters are lower 'dust' than others, and this is better for cats' lungs and humans' alike. =)

Not all cats will respond to catnip or all types of toys. My cat is indifferent to laser pointers, and only likes the actual fur-covered realistic mice. She doesn't care for bell toys, but those little plastic springs drive her nuts (when she's in the mood). Her favorite toy is a wooden wobble 'bead' in which you can place catnip. Also a Da Bird Feather Cat Toy which you can make flutter to sound like a real bird. I'd suggest the non-collapsible one, as I'd suspect my cat would pull that apart. =P

Talk to your vet about what food(s) are actually good for your cat. From my research, you want to avoid bone meal products or and 'meal' products as they include ground bone which is hard on your cat's kidneys. Also avoid grains. Turkey is better than chicken; not all fish are terrible, but you have to consider mercury levels. You should consider only feeding your cat wet food, but this is more expensive, and difficult to manage with hurried schedules. Mine loves kibble and hates having to give that up, so I leave that out all the time and supplement with a big scoop of wet food at night. (These are the best quality, least expensive per-serving foods I've found.) A 6-lb. bag of kibble seems to last my cat ~3 months. At four days (servings) per can, the 12-pack of 12.5 oz. cans last about 1.5 months. You'll need two snap-on plastic can lids. My cat adores salmon as you may see. =P

Not all cats will like all types of cat beds.

Mine LOVES water (she literally demands 'cat showers') and she likes to play with the dripping tub faucet, so next I'm going to get a cat drinking fountain. Cats in general prefer 'fresh' or moving water, so mine always wants clean water in her bowl every time.

Because no one cat will like every toy or bed or litter box, you may have to buy more than one. Talk to your vet about what types to try and how to encourage a cat to like what you buy. I put catnip on my cat's things -- that seems to have worked, but not all cats respond to catnip.

Thank you so much for taking them in!

They're fine being inside a room in a house with food, water, toys (you did get them toys, yes?), things to scratch and climb, and protected from the elements. Your health questions/concerns have been covered really well by other posters. If you don't mind, I'll talk about something else.

If you haven't already, go to Walmart, Target, Petco, PetsMart or whatever your moderately-priced local equivalent is and get some cardboard scratchers (horizontal & vertical or inclined), squeaky toys, a cat pole (<$45 @ Walmart, goes from ceiling to floor with 3 shelves) or pay a bit more and get a tower. The towers are good because it gives the cats high places in addition to integrated scratching posts. However, multiple individual scratching posts are also helpful in encouraging the kittens to use them rather than your furniture or carpet. Spreading them around your home may help with this.

Nearly everyone is running some sort of Memorial Day sale right now so the towers may currently be much more reasonably priced. Also looking at some in person (my local Petco had a couple set up), if possible, gives you a better idea regarding their stability. Also recommend Amazon and Wayfair for the towers- just pay attention to the reviews.

You'll need a pet carrier to transport them; again check reviews and get a higher rated one. Because they're so small now, I would personally get a larger carrier capable of transporting all of them together until they reach a combined ~20 pounds or so.

Try to pick up a variety of toys. My cats always loved the little battery operated critters that chirped or squeaked like birds & mice. Catnip mice are almost universally adored. They'll also love chasing after things so try to get a wand toy as well. Just stroll through the pet dept and choose a few.

Best wishes for you, your wife and all of your little ones.

Cat toys with catnip and only take them out close to sleep time. My cat goes crazy, even hyperactive for like half an hour when she plays with a catnip-induced toy but that tires her off enough that she sleeps afterward. The affect of catnip smell doesn't last very long so if there is always a catnip something outside that will not work out well. When you play make sure he's really active like running around, jumping... sometimes they like to play without really moving much.

I also recommend this mat. My cat loves it and sleeps on it quite often. Though she still choses to sleep on my bed at nights. If the cat is alone at home and sleeps all day, maybe you can get an automated toy.

I actually calculated with my cat based on the average time cats sleep in a day and if I let her sleep all day, and then play with her for 2 hours in the evening, she will still fall asleep too late or wake up earlier than I like. Right on that, personally I wouldn't recommend letting cats sleep in the same bedroom. Not every day at least. It becomes a habit (as it has with my cat) and cats surely love their habits. It's necessary to teach them sometimes they will be alone in the room, spend the night alone when you are home, and even you will not be able to give affection all day every day.

This is .08 over the limit but I thought I would add it anyway!

here are the cats Im spoiling

Cats have always been special to me, they have this thing about them that makes them amazing. I own 3 and live with 5 more, we have one outside cat that has an owner and I have one that doesnt live with me anymore.. All are inside that photo album! Bubba (B&W) is my 3 yr old. I got him at 3 months old and he snuck into my heart and I love his cuddles though he hates when I grab him without food. Shadow (Grey) was gotten for my moms ex boyfriend and I wouldnt let him take her when she left, she was mine. She does not like to be held for long and is a sweetheart to people. Firefly(Tabby) is my girl. She is a little over a yr and I got her at 12 weeks but known her since birth basically. I adopted her from the barn I work for and we kept her in the tack room until she was weaned. She cuddles with me at night and is literally spoiled rotten. Those are all of mine, minus Skittles but he doesnt live with me anymore. The others in this album are Billy, Jack, Muffin, Bacon, and Jade. Short story on them. Jack and Muffin are strays brought in. Billy is a rescue from where we volunteer. Jade is Skittles sister and Bacon is their younger sibling!

I have a Kong Kickaroo now and they love that thing. Its amazing how much they play. I think maybe a second one would make their kitty days.

~I wub my animals~

>do you have any recommendations for things he might be more inclined to play with on his own?

Yes! This circuit toy is a wonderful example of a self-play type of toy that can keep a kitten's attention a bit longer than balls or knit toys, because in the cat's perspective it keeps moving- but less predictably so- after the paws are off :P. As a bonus - it's pretty quiet, and your cat isn't going to lose this one under a dresser or something (because it can't leave the track). This toy was a savoir during my own cat's super-playful kitten period.

Electronic motion toys such as this one are also a possibly more-enticing option for your cat. (Though - the "motion madness" toy the same maker puts out isn't really worth it, IMO, if you see a link to that- it's loud and get struck on things easily).

You can also find corrugated cardboard scratchers that have holes in the bottom of then with dangling feathers or shiny balls inside, such as this one (although i have a cheaper version I got from wall-mart). The benefit of this combo is that your cat may be inclined to go scratch the scratcher and then get "distracted" by the play item, so basically it increases the chance the cat will play with it.

Additionally, you didn't seem to mention any toys that aren't on the floor and are perhaps a dangling attraction - that can matter a lot, as some cats perfer that type of play, and even those that don't can get tired of just one type. Do you have any dangling attractions, such as doornob hanging scratchers, or even posts that include a dangling toy of sorts, such as this one? They also make these tent-like contraptions with dangling toys. If you've ever heard of the "play types" such as "bird, mouse, bug, snake.." - that's ideally what you want to emulate with your options. Even if your kitten prefers to hunt "mice" - chasing a bird or a bug every now and then can break things up more.

Additionally, if you don't have something like an "activity mat", it might be something to look out for on the cheap. Or those tunnels - both can offer a different type of experience (the crinkly kind, I guess).

Maybe try some new toys?

I've been meaning to make a list of my cats' favorite toys. I have two cats, brother and sister, Millie and Smokey, now about 9 months old.

First, I can't explain it, but this carrot. I bought it on a whim at a pet store because it was on clearance and I thought it kind of looked like the Minecraft carrot and I thought it would be cute to see them playing with it. It comes with separate catnip container and you can fill the carrot with catnip, but I didn't use any. OMG, they go crazy for the thing. They get super possessive of it. If the other cat comes near, they'll growl and run away. Smokey likes to be chased when he has the carrot in his mouth. I lunge like I want to steak his carrot and he runs a few feet away, daring me to try to take it again. Millie will self-play with the carrot, batting it around on our hardwood floors. They've gone through two already. I think it's time to get a third.

Da Bird. It was recommended here and it's awesome. Something about the movement, the twirling, the colors, the noise. They can't ignore this thing. If the feather thing gets destroyed, replacements are available and cheap.

Cat Dancer 101. This is a stiff wire with some cardboard bits on one end. Move it and shake it a bit and I guess it looks like a flying insect. On the plus side, when they catch it, it's fairly easy to get them to release it.

Cat Dancer 301. This is Millie's favorite. She knows where I keep it and "leads" me to it at every opportunity. Like, first thing when I wake up and when I get home from work. It's a short stick with a long strip of fleece material. Wave it as you move in a circle and they're mesmerized. When they catch it, it's a bit difficult to get them to release it.

I'm going back to university, my third year, but I live off campus with my husband, our two cats, and our friend that needed a place to stay. I guess he's our roommate now. He's been living with us for a while lol. It's a fairly small apartment but it's home and its so nice to have a proper home to come home to after a long day of school and work instead of a dorm room. However, from my wish list there are two things that would greatly improve my quality of life while in school. They are these cat toys ( http://www.amazon.ca/Kong-Naturals-Crinkle-Butterflies-Catnip/dp/B003TTWYAS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=8U3KZKXXJTNY&coliid=I1K06AMVILHBHJ ) which I hope will entice my cat to play with them instead of my pens while I'm trying to write, and this calendar ( http://www.amazon.ca/Transformations-2013-Coelho-Calendar-Paulo/dp/0307949052/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=8U3KZKXXJTNY&coliid=I3N5LM0G2UWV9K ). With two jobs, kickboxing, karate and full time classes things can get hectic and hard to keep track of!

EDIT: I just saw that I need a picture of my living area. I will do a quick tidy and then edit this post with that shortly. :)

EDIT 2: http://imgur.com/FRzMf This is a picture of my main living space as seen from my couch. Sorry its messy. My husbands friends were over playing Warhammer and I haven't had time to tidy up yet. That table though is where I spend the majority of my time when in school. It is my main study/work space. The apartment also consists of an okay sized room for me and my husband, a room for my roommate, a tiny bathroom and an even tinier kitchen. The hall closet is actually a decent size lol.

Meet Hypothetical Lucy. She is a hypothetical witch. Lucy is the best hypothetical witch around, and she's here to help explain what you need to get your school year off to a good start, and why you need these things.


What's the first item on our list, Lucy?


Wine: "Divination is hard!" says Lucy. "But it's easier if you drink some wine beforehand. It opens your mind to all the silly things the dead have to say. Using this divination sphere helps, too."


What's the next item we'll be needing?


A broom: "But remember, no witch can fly on her magic broom without her magic cat," says Lucy. "And to keep my magic cat appeased, I use a magic cat toy."

Next?

A hat: "A good witch always has a good witch hat. That's basic knowledge! But the hat can sometimes mess up my hair. So I keep it in check with some mattifying styling powder." Oh Lucy, you so smart.

What about when we start learning spells? How can we make sure our target turns in to a ferret, and not a worm? Surely there is something we will need to help!


A book: "You should always write your own spells, that way you know what they'll do!" Lucy wisely tells us. "You'll need some quality pens to help you fill your book of shadows. Drawing those sketchy pictures can take a fine hand, and some even finer pen tips!"

Is there anything else we need?


A trunk: Hypothetical Lucy has some serious junk in the trunk. How do you keep it contained, Lucy? "I wear harem pants! They're roomy, and they allow me to go on crazy broom rides without flashing the neighborhood. You'll also need an actual trunk to keep those pants in!"

"There's one more item you'll need," says Lucy.

A cape: "The best capes are always hand-made," says Lucy. "You'll need high quality crochet hooks to help make your cape. Or your grandma. She's probably better at making these types of things than you are."

Mischief Managed!

I’ve been there! Here are my ideas:

Maybe a glowing led dog collar or a reflective dog vest for night walking? A dog raincoat is nice to have in the rainy months.

Pet beds always seem to need replacing.

I know you said she has a good vacuum, but one year I bought my parents a roomba for pet hair. I also bought them an eye vac because they sweep their kitchen so frequently and I thought it might save them from having to bend over so often.

You could buy ornaments with their names on them or pictures if she doesn’t already have them. You could also consider having pet portraits made by an Etsy artist or from r/artstore & r/hungryartists .

I’ve purchased catnip bubbles after seeing many internet cats enjoying them. However, my old tortie was NOT impressed. She prefers an actual plant that she can murder. You could grab a few plants. Heated cat houses are also a thing.

When all else fails, animal lovers generally seem to appreciate donations in their honor to animal welfare charities. Good luck!

A good resource to have on hand is the Cat Owner's Manual. It's illustrated, actually entertaining to read, and covers a lot of the basics of cat care.

I will second a lot of the recs below:

• A water fountain is awesome; cats will drink much more water if it's clean and moving.
  
• Talk to your vet for food recs; don't buy cheap.
  
• Clipping claws can become easier if you follow the method described below to accustom your kitty to the process.
  
• Scratching posts/pads are crucial, and there are lots of types -- I keep some of each kind, but you'll want both vertical and horizontal scratchers.
  
  Toys can be any of a wide variety. One called Da Bird is almost universally popular. Catnip toys are always a hit, just consider the size and shape so they can be picked up and carried by the kitty. 'Kicker' toys are almost always a hit. I've had good luck with floppy fish, mylar crinkle balls, and soft spongy foam balls as well.

>So it's a flexible rod with what looks like the fun part of a giant fishing lure, right?

Yep. When you wave it around, the lure part spins around and makes a fluttering noise which seems to really grab cats' attention. Really clever design. By the way, one factor to take into consideration for this and other toys is "play style". My cat, for example, isn't much of a chaser. She prefers to lie in wait and stalk, then pounce once in a while. Try moving the toy so as to simulate the movement of a small animal, and try varying things like speed, height from the ground, "twitchiness", and so on to see what floats your cat's boat.

Also try making things available for your cat (and the prey!) to use as cover, like cardboard boxes. (Cardboard boxes themselves are the quintessential cheap cat toy!)

>Also, wrestling toys: they look like plush toys, right? One I googled says it crinkles, she seems to be spooked by crinkling paper noises. Is there a particular type I should try?

The ones my cat likes most are plush toys, one of which (this one) has a velcro opening that you can use to refresh the catnip inside it. It's not too hard to sew your own, too. The Yeowww! line has a good reputation too. But there's no accounting for taste...

Piper is my adorable cat and she is truly Man's best friend. She is a very needy animal and I can't walk in the door without demands for pets. But I love her anyway. Even when she wakes me at dawn to be pet and cuddled. [Isn't she a cutie?] (http://imgur.com/Fg6ePh1) I mean who wouldn't love those [eyes?] (http://imgur.com/7C5yOJb)
[Piper LOVES catnip] (http://www.amazon.com/Yeowww-Pollock-Fish-Catnip-Toy/dp/B000F5XSH2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1L8ON2MX2QPTV&coliid=I1D8KTDVDZAXVR)

P.S. Your little girls are adorable. That picture looks like they are saying, This is a private moment!

My cat likes the ‘Cat Fishing’ app the most. I also use ‘Games For Cat’ (very original title) but he got bored of it after a few days.
As for YouTube I tend to just search videos for cats and go with the most promising thumb nails. My cat likes the bird videos best (squirrels tend to be too slow and spaced for his taste)

The automated toy I got was $10 at Walmart, I haven’t really seen anything like it on amazon. This is similar but ours is like a cheaper, single butterfly version.

I have a wish list for my pets! It's hard to link things from mobile at work, but one of the things on it is this catnip toy and they love catnip. There's also food on there which is always helpful.

There are pictures of all my fur babies, including the two cats, on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thoseinstances/

Since it's virtually impossible to keep the dog from them, go for the toys that are made of natural ingredients.

Toys like Da Fur Thing - which is made of a scrap of rabbit fur with feathers on the end. Felted wool balls, knitted wool mice.

Link for Da Fur Thing on Amazon

Then there are the battery operated toys that you have to turn on for your cat which will keep them occupied. Of course the dog might get fascinated with it as well.

Like Frolic Cat's toys and there's also a solar powered prism that you hang on your window and it casts rainbows on the floor for your cat to catch.

Link for the solar powered toy on Amazon

Upvote because he looks just like my little buddy!! I’d also like to suggest a Kong Kickaroo for him., to save your shoes. You can find them on Amazon for cheap. KONG Kickeroo Cuddler Cat Toy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L1B6GUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_syI.Ab5727YA1

I'm going to brave the downvote storm by being the wet blanket here. You're training your cat to destroy things (that you may not find as funny/cute later.) I would recommend chew toys like this one which will give him/her a great workout while also focusing their behaviors into non-destructive habits. Especially while they're young.

I'll just go back into my box now.

Lastly, I think that Diablo III ($33.38), the awesome custombizbale mouse ($12.96), the Sony headphones ($15.59), the Nightmare Before Christmas lanyard ($5.98), and these two add-on items - a catnip pepper ($2.99) and these measuring cups ($3.99) - would be cool too!

Total: $74.89

I get them off amazon. That specific brand is the strongest nip I've ever run across. You can smell it before you even get the box open.

banana

I have a few of their other toys too. The sardines are popular with my boys too.

cat toy cause its big enough for my older cat to kick and she loves to grab stuff and kick it!

ty for the contest

Thanks, haha! It was this cat toy 😛

not exactly the same but i found a similar one. I searched google and amazon for the same one couldn't find it. but maybe this would be a good substitute?

http://www.amazon.com/KONG-Feather-Carrot-Catnip-Orange/dp/B0006L0TF4

I had that problem with Batty. And when his top adult fangs came in, his baby fang were hanging in there with them, so he had a total of 6 fangs for a while. You can try something like this stuffed chewing toy for teething or something like this which is a lot cheaper and is supposed to make their mouth feel better when they chew on it. If you are worried about cords, you can use a bittering spray that makes things taste like they just don't want to eat them.

Have you tried any interactive, fishing pole type toys? My cat LOVES his Da Bird toy that we purchased for him a few months back. The attachments can be easily replaced are there are many different attachments that you can get. My cat has learned the sound of me opening the closet where I keep his Da Bird and will come running and meow until I get it out to play and he will cry and whine when I stop playing with it too soon.

This is the first one I ever purchased, love the little tin and everything

Yeowww Tin of Stinkies, 3 in a Sardine Tin, Multicolor, 1Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00198RKEG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-K2tDb7P1HC61

This is my favorite trump doll
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IDP0WF6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_97tDzbQP4G41K

How about you talk about the right to self defense and stand your ground laws. Etc, etc. That should make things spicy.

How about a Kickeroo?

She is play fighting also her teeth will be coming in as well. Get her some toys that she can roll around with.
Kong Kickeroo Cat toy Basket toy for cat ,Random color https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L1B6GUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_h1g0DbE9WSNR1

Mine are grown up now but this is still there favourite toy to pounce on. When they are not winding each other up.

Also, this is the toy

Here is their website: http://www.duckyworld.com/products/

These are what I got, but my pet store carries them, and you can buy the fish individually. http://www.amazon.com/Yeowww-Tin-Stinkies-Sardine/dp/B00198RKEG/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405186217&sr=8-4&keywords=yeowww+catnip+toys
