We're rather convinced that Widget Thunderpaws needs more stimulation. Or more precisely, more toys. And while we're quite happy to play with him, and we do, I'd like to add some things that will challenge him, but that don't necessarily require constant human interaction (like the laser pointer, or the foam disk shooter.) We're thinking about a Buster Cube, a fish tank (I think he would enjoy watching the tank, quite a bit...it will end up being a large tank, with a really good lid, and well, I've wanted one for a while anyway,) and I'd love to find something in the style of a Jolly Jumper, that goes in the doorway and sort of bounces as he swats at it. (I've had a toy like that before, and I haven't seen it, so I'm trying to come up with a way to mount things-sort of like a suction cup, so I coud mount new elastic on it easily , but I want something that would mount better on the wall than a suction cup.)

Any other toy suggestions for a sort-of-smart cat who like to manipulate things with his paws?

Things my cats love

[margoeve.livejournal.com]

My hair ties
Rolled up receipts - the "fax paper" kind
Scratching posts
Little furry fake mousies.
Lazer pointers.
Boxes and paper bags.

Yes, our cats are cheep dates.

We'd contemplated getting them a bird, but I think it would drive me nuts. Put a bird feader near the window he likes looking out the most.

I might talk to Elkor about getting a fishtank though. I personally like Saltwater fish a LOT since they have personality, but the upkeep is more than I have patience for. So maybe a beta or some cheep goldfish?
