Cat Toys That Work

You come home from the pet store with some new toys for your cat.

The cat is not interested.

Later you hear a racket, and discover that the cat is going nuts batting a button around and pouncing on it.

Why not create a product that consists of toys that cats will actually play with?

The product comes in a cardboard box big enough for a cat to get inside.

That's the first toy in the set.

Open the box, and take out a paper bag with a hole cut in the bottom.

That's the second toy.

Empty the paper bag and dump out:

• Roll of toilet paper.
• Pen, used, with cap.
• Tear-off ring from around the bottom of the plastic cap to a one-gallon plastic milk container.
• Crumpled ball of crackly paper.
• Ping-pong ball.
• Walnut.
• Wooden spool from a spool of thread.
• Metal bottlecap, bent across centerline, included angle of 120 degrees.
• Ball of twine.
• Twist tie.
  
• Medium-sized hard plastic cap from plastic medicine bottle.
• Catnip mouse.
  

Anyone with a cat will know how to play with their cat using these toys, but the product should include instructions written in a humorous fashion.

Note: There is at least one commercial cat toy that works:

It's been described as "cat fishing". Highly recommended.

The Galkie Kitty Tease also works great for this, but it is no longer manufactured.
