cat toy

Jingly feathered thing

A cat toy is any object designed to entertain or stimulate a cat—feathered wands, balls with bells, catnip mice, laser pointers.

The category ranges from store-bought products to household items cats adopt as toys: The hair tie became her favorite cat toy.

Good cat toys engage hunting instincts through movement, texture, or sound.
