I never knew our cat Darcy had a modelling career before she moved in with us, the picture at the top looks incredibly like her! When she first moved in with us I thought she was quite old as she never had any energy to play but after being fed up she regained her kittenhood and now she loves to play with anything, as long as it is not intended as ...  Read the complete review

As most of you know when we moved into our cottage on the slopes of the Great Orme in Llandudno last year we were adopted by a cat who we named Mew. Actually we asked him what his name was and that was what he told us! Over the months he has received a few cat toys from my sister, friends and from us but he really has two favourites - a ...  Read the complete review

We own cats - or to be more precise, cats own us. Two strays walked into our house two years ago and begged for chicken, and somehow they never have got round to leaving. They're a pair of spoilt girls, bought everything their fuzzy hearts might desire, but we have found a couple of things that need no money at all. 1. Conkers. Holly ...  Read the complete review

My cat Shadow has managed to mangle most of his shop bought toys. His mice all seem to disappear and he has chewed through the elastic on the dangly toys. Here are our favourite ways to amuse him. 1 Lids. He loves the lids off bottles of juice or milk. He bats them around the floor before picking them up and putting them inside shoes, ...  Read the complete review

My cat Jet isn't much of a''player'', he much prefers to lounge around in the sun or have a little wander around the neighbourhood. However, most evenings after I have called him in for the night he has his mad ten minutes charging round the house at full speed playing with his toys. If any of you have read my 'Cats in general' review ...  Read the complete review

This is actually an interesting topic to write about because cats are very difficult to entertain. Forget going to a pet shop looking at the toys and thinking I will buy for my cat she will like that, chances are they wont. My wife has three cats all different characters, but all tempermental. There is Bert the eldest and ...  Read the complete review

Y'know, every year my parents insist on buying presents for our cats at Christmas and every year the biggest hit is eaither wrapping paper or a box..or both combined! This years unwanted toys were a ball which is supposed to roll around randomly instead of in a simple straight line and a catnip infused mouse with a bell on its tail. The mouse ...  Read the complete review

Over the years I've spent a small fortune on cat toys. However none of them really work. Pet shops are probably the most expensive place to buy cat toys, but supermarkets offer cheaper toys. I recently bought 3 mice from Tesco. They are white or grey, have tiny material tails and must smell of catnip. My cat's first ...  Read the complete review

When you have a cat, especially an indoor cat it can be a job to provide enough stimuli. Well, not quite true, it can be a job to provide enough safe stimuli for your cat. Having two wonderful indoor cats, I have worked hard to create an environment that if both safe and stimulating for them. There are 3 main games my cats like to play ...  Read the complete review

My little moggy josh was given to me to look after for a week about 5 years ago now and he has made himself right at home in the weeone household. We have been threw a whole range of toys and he is just not interested. The thing he played with the most was a piece of string. Now he likes to delve in to my daughters toy box and pull ...  Read the complete review

I have a few ideas that'll have your cats going bonkers! 1. My cats love ping pong balls! Stick a needle and thread through a couple of them to make a sort of string with ping pong ball beads on it, get my meaning? then tie it somewhere up quite high (so it dangles down), then show your cat, wiggle it so it moves and they'll play ...  Read the complete review

I have found the ideal way to keep the cat away from the barbie whilst im cooking for friends. It really is quite simple and in a way giving in to their desires. Take a piece of string and a cooked chicken leg and hang from the branch of a tree or fench but just out of it's reach. Not only do they have hours of fun trying ...  Read the complete review

I have a cat magnet somewhere in the house. I've been unable to locate it so far but it attracts every moggie in the neighbourhood and they bring their friends. I think it may be somewhere near the cooker because whenever I open a tin of tuna or cook a chicken there is usually a line of cats wearing dinner suits outside the front door or on ...  Read the complete review

 Any cat lover will know that all cats love catnip. Certainly a toy containing catnip will retain a cat’s interest for longer than one without. But bought toys usually contain a tiny amount. The cat toy my cats have enjoyed the most has been a catnip “beanbag” I made myself. You need a packet of catnip ...  Read the complete review

A word of warning - this opinion has the word "pussy" contained within. And the words "box" and "toy". Unfortunately, these words are essential to this offering. It would appear that DIY (another one!) toys are favoured by cats as opposed to ones bought. I have a very soft spot for cats and the ...  Read the complete review

"I'm supposed to be grateful for THAT?" [New update is 'Catnip'] The look every cat owner knows. It doesn't matter whether it's over food, toys, bedding, whatever, the look of contempt a cat can give you will beat any that another human can give, hands down. I think the first time we got ...  Read the complete review

I was never a cat person until my lovely Sylvester came to join us at a barbeque two summers ago and we just couldn’t get rid of him. Having been brought up in a dog family, I knew that pets needed entertainment!! I couldn’t leave poor Sylvester with nothing to play with all day while I was at work. And so my quest began… ...  Read the complete review

I've had 3 cats during my 18 years of life. The first one ran away, the second one died (sob sob) and the third one is still here, sitting by the fire as I type now. Cats like to play, no one can deny that that fact, and over the years I have spent a lot of time entertaining my feline friends. You can go out and buy yourself some ...  Read the complete review
