A toy built to actually hold a cat's attention, not something batted once and ignored.
A cat toy suits a cat who is awake and bored, and an owner who would like the furniture left alone. Choose by how the cat plays: toys that move on their own for chasers, a teaser for pouncers, and a puzzle feeder for a cat who likes to work for treats.

A cat toy suits the cat who is awake and bored, and the owner who would like their furniture left alone. It is a good gift for a young cat, an indoor cat who needs something to chase, or a cat lover who spoils their pet. It fits Christmas, a birthday or International Cat Day.
Cats are fussy, so the question is what this cat likes to do. Some chase, some pounce, and some prefer to work for their food.
What to look for in a cat toy
Play style. Chasers like toys that move on their own, such as an electronic flutter toy. Pouncers like a teaser they can stalk.
Puzzle feeders. A puzzle makes a cat work for treats, which suits a clever indoor cat.
Laser teasers. Many cats love a laser dot. Finish the game with a toy they can catch, so it ends with a win.
Power. Electronic toys need batteries or charging. Check the listing for how they run.
Quiet. Some toys rattle or whirr. If the owner works from home, a quieter toy is a kinder gift.
When a cat toy is the wrong gift
Cats can ignore a toy that does not suit them, so ask the owner what their cat plays with, if you can. A toy with small parts is not for a cat who chews things. And a cat who plays with a cardboard box and a bit of string may not need anything at all.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good toy for an indoor cat?
Choose a toy that gets the cat chasing, pouncing or thinking. Electronic toys that move on their own suit a cat home alone, and a puzzle feeder gives a clever cat a job. Rotate toys so they stay interesting.
Is a laser toy good for cats?
Many cats love one, but a dot can never be caught, which frustrates some. Finish the game by giving the cat a toy or a treat to catch, and never shine the light at their eyes.
Do electronic cat toys need batteries?
Most do, or they charge by cable, so check the listing for how they run. Some are quiet and some whirr, which matters if the owner works from home or the cat sleeps nearby.
