Promised an update so here it is! 2 weeks ago I asked around for some authentic cat toys, and got loads of great suggestions for what to get the cat, appreciate all of them! ☺️ Our newly adopted Nori arrived just a few days ago and we couldn't be happier! She's full of life and it only took here a few minutes the get comfortable in her new home. Amongst the favourite toys are:

  • A Paper Bag, as seen in first picture. This was from last weeks Vietnamese Takeaway, wasn't even planing on keeping it but she gets the zooomies everyone she starts playing with or around that bag. So that's a keeper.
  • Wine corks! Got a few of those ones saved up for different use cases. Also tied on to the Cat tower we got here, which has seen a lot of use already.
  • Cardboard roll (remain of a toilet roll) is another great winner.
  • The casual small balls with bells inside of them.
  • The carpet. Our carpet is light enough for her to lift and she loves this. When she gets the zooomies she spins underneath the carpet one end and comes out the other end, love seeing this!

With all the playing comes a lot of sleeping too, and she will literally fall asleep in our arms when carrying her, which is very adorable. Although she prefer to sleep in the tippy top of the cat tower.

Thanks for all the tips and discussion in this community, learnt loads from others and can't wait to contribute with silly and cute cats pictures now too 😁

Have you tried Q-tips yet? Never met a cat who does Love murdering a Q-tip. I can't leave the box out or I come home to half on the floor.

Oh and always take the handles off the bag. If they get their head through they will try to run away from a bag that is attached to the

Ouuuh will definitely give her some to play with! Right now she's too small to get stuck between the handle, but will remove them as suggested, thanks 🌻
