  • We've recently just moved from a 1 bedroom flat with a patio, to a 2 bedroom house with a garden. Lilia did seem quite lazy when we were in the flat and spent a lot of time sleeping. Now we're in the house, Lilia has come down from 4kg to 2.9kg - just from running around the garden and up and down the stairs. Fantastic!

  • My Cat loves running up and down after Malteasers, she wont eat them but loves the chase. Its even better if you have a wooden floor like me.

  • My cat enjoys rolled up string and when I throw it she runs after it and brings it back. She also likes pens, just running after them and chucking them around.
    She is a mad cat Smilex

  • The best toy i have recently got my cat is a laser pen from a pet shop- she whizzes around the house trying to chase the light and tries to eat the beam of light, bless.

    One of her old favs is a felt ball i made by hand and put a bell from one of her old collars in- its good for her to play with when were not in, shes loves it, and often brings it into the bedroom at 3am and meows her head off as she wants us to play with her, lol!

  • I bought something online called the "Da Bird". It's amazing and my cats go mad to catch it! It spins as you whirl it round and sounds like a trapped bird. It's the only cat toy my cats can't get enough of.
    I also hide Kitkats food on top of furniture and under things so he has to work to find it. I also put dry food into paper bags so he has to tear them open.
