Whether you are a dog lover like me or a cat lover, you must admit that the latter's pets are obviously more difficult to please. This is the source of this list: I have raised a few cats in my life and tried various toys and snacks to see what works best and what they seem to like the most. This list lists some of my favorites.

Kitty Love Bubbles 4 oz catnip bubbles, $5.99

Most cats like catnip very much: some will lick it, some will play with toys containing catnip, and some will roll around like Teri Garr in "Young Frankenstein" go. But there is another more fun way to make your cat eat your beloved catnip: get a bottle of catnip bubbles! 

Just like the bubbles you played when you were a kid, you blow bubbles from this container, your cat will instinctively want to play with them, and then break them-because these bubbles are filled with catnip!

WoLover Natural Matatabi Silvervine Sticks (11 sticks), $5.99

Although catnip seems to be by far the most popular snack for cats to actually move, it has no effect on some cats. Personally, I have tried many different forms of catnip, but my cat never seems to really care.

Then I heard about the silver rattan stick and had to try it. I have never seen her so crazy about anything in my life! She grabbed it, played with it, chewed it, and liked them very much. These 11-piece silver rattan rods can last for several months and only cost $6. What is your loss?

Depets Cat retractable wand with bells and feathers, $5.39

Cats like to chase things. it is known. But this does not mean that you need to choose laser points like all other cat owners. One of my cat’s personal favorites is the telescopic wand with bells and feathers.

The great thing about these wands is that you can play with your cat in a different way every time. You can make the toy jump around in the room like a rabbit. You can swing it in circles in the air, run along the furniture and ring the bell, whatever you want. Your cat will love the sound of feathers and bells, and they will never get bored because you can exchange it so much.

UPSKY roller 3-level turntable with ball, $11.59

If you have ever played with your cat balls, you will know that they like to slap them and chase them-but they never seem to last. Just like your cat plays with them on purpose, the ball will be lost under furniture, behind the refrigerator, or elsewhere.

Instead, buy a toy that the ball will never fall out, but your cat can chase them all day long. With this 3-level turntable, your cat will be able to play and hit the ball on each level. Even if the ball spins around the turntable and attracts the cat's attention, they will stay still along the track and never get lost again!

Andiker interactive spring-loaded plush mouse toy, $10.99

Remember the popular cartoon "Tom and Jerry"? Of course you know what I'm talking about. Well, it's time to make your cat's natural instincts go crazy, because they chase their own Jerry all day long.

No, I don’t mean to release live mice in your home—on the contrary, by installing this spring-loaded mouse toy, your cat can walk all day. The plush design is soft on their paws and teeth, and the spring-loaded mechanism makes the mouse look alive.

WWVVPET Interactive self-rotating rechargeable smart ball, $12.99

We mentioned above how cats like to play with balls, but come on-it's 2021, let us get something more advanced than standard plastic balls. Ask, you will receive, because you can get a rechargeable smart ball to keep your cat alert.

This smart ball from WWVVPET includes a red LED light and a self-rotating mechanism. So at the time of the game, the ball will roll by itself and continue to move. This mechanism allows it to change direction when your cat pats it or it is bounced by something, and the LED light makes it more tempting to chase.

ASITA 5-way collapsible cat tunnel with toys and bells, $16.99

We all know that cats like boxes and like to squeeze into small spaces. But what you may not know is that cats absolutely love tunnels. They are enclosed, dark, and help animals feel a sense of protection. This also provides ample hunting opportunities for your cats because they can hide in tunnels and pounce.

Although there are various complicated tunnel systems there, this simple 5-way tunnel is very suitable for my residence. The foldable design is easy to store and move. My cat likes to hide and play inside. Oops, if the vacuum cleaner is running, she will run into her tunnel to hide. This is her favorite place in her house!
