Interactive cat toys don’t have to be complicated to keep felines interested. The Petmate Crazy Circle is a great example of how sometimes the toys with simple designs can be the ones that your kitty falls in love with.

Well, this cat toy offers them exactly that, with an added bonus- you don’t have to worry that their forbidden obsession is one of your valuables. It’s a definite win-win!



The Peek-A-Play Toy Box

There’s nothing better to incite curiosity of a cat than hiding something away from them. The moment they think something is out of their reach, that very thing becomes the most interesting object in the known universe. That’s why The Peek-A-Play Toy Box is an instant favorite with felines. This interactive cat toy looks simple, as it’s a big, sturdy box with numerous holes in it, but the concept is very challenging and enticing. It comes with two balls (although you can add treats or some other toys), which your cat will (desperately) try to fish out. If your cat tends to be a little obsessive and too persistent, you can add softer or smaller balls that they can eventually dig out, but for lazy cats, this setup is ideal. They’ll be bouncing and running around this mesmerizing wooden box for hours!



GoCat Da Bird

A modern version of the classic favorite, GoCat Da Bird is a realistic feather toy that is bound to captivate your furry friend. With the feathers that have the feel, appearance and the sound of real bird wings, this interactive cat toy is a perfect fit for Bengal cats which have a strong hunter instinct. This is the Easy to Store version of the Da Bird teaser, which means that the rod pulls apart and takes much less space than it usually would. And, when you have a spoiled little Bengal, you need as much space for their toys as you can get!
