Recommended types of toys:

• Round plastic shower curtin rings are fun to bat around, hide, or carry when linked together.
• Plastic balls with or without bells inside
• Ping Pong balls or golf balls. Put them in the bathtub with your kittie and watch them go.
• Paper bags wit the handles removed are great for your kittie to hide, pounce, and play in.
• Empty paper towel cardboard rolls that are unwrapped a little.
