These seem to be very popular with the kitties these days! Excellent bang for your buck, as they simulate small snakes or lizards.

Cat Dancer 101 Wire Toy (Amazon & Chewy)
The Cat Dancer is a classic toy that dangles five little paper rolls on a 30″ wire, simulating the movements of a flying insect. Most cats have fun batting at it since it moves somewhat randomly and unpredictably.
Cat Charmer Rainbow Wand (Amazon & Chewy)
If your kitty likes snakey toys, this is for you! Also good for cats who may be intimidated by more quickly-moving wand toys. Can also help cats with getting used to being touched using the soft fleece end.
Getting Started: Clicker Training for Cats (Karen Pryor) (Amazon)
Karen Pryor is the clicker-training guru, and this is an excellent resource. No photos, but excellent information.
Pet Training Clicker with Wrist Strap (2-Pack) (Amazon)
These are simple clickers, a bit quieter than the classic “box” style clickers (good for not startling cats with the sound). Also comes with wrist straps which are very helpful!
Wellness Kittles Cat Treats 3-Pack (Amazon & Chewy)
These are the cat treats I use for clicker-training my cats. They are small and are under 2 calories each!
Inaba Churu Lickable Puree Cat Treats 3-Pack (12 Tubes) (Amazon)
These are awesome cat treats which can also be used during clicker-training; just a lick will do! These are also great for giving medications or an any-time treat. This link is for 3 packages of 4 meat-tubes each (12 altogether).
Petlinks Mystery Motion Cat Toy (Amazon)
This is a feather that moves at variable speeds/patterns under a circle of fabric, which cats love!
Hide and Sneak Cat Tunnel (Dezi & Roo)
My cats love these, and they are so durable! They retain scent and are great for both lounging and playing.
SnugglyCat Ripple Rug Play Mat (Chewy)
This is a toy that you can change up every day by either reconfiguring the top carpet (which attaches via velcro points) and by putting various toys inside of it. Adult cats enjoy this too!
KittiKrack Silvervine Powder (Twin Critters)
If your cat doesn’t react to catnip (or even if she does), give silvervine a try! Sprinkle this on toys (just a tiny pinch will do – a little goes a long way) and watch your cat go wild.
Total Cat Mojo (Jackson Galaxy and Mikel Delgado) (Amazon)
I LOVE this book. If there is ONE book that all cat guardians should read, I recommend this one! It’s an easy read that provides great information, and you’ll understand your cats much better when you’re done. Buy this right MEOW!
Catification: Designing a Happy and Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!) (Jackson Galaxy & Kate Benjamin) (Amazon)
This is a fantastic book all about creating cat-friendly environments with an emphasis on vertical space. Includes where to buy things and plans!

This is the follow-up to “Catification” with more great ideas for enhancing your cat’s living space.
Cat vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat (Pam Johnson-Bennett) (Amazon)
If you’re having inter-cat relationship problems, check out this book. Practical advice for a peaceful home.
Beyond Squeaky Toys (Nicole Nicassio-Hiskey & Cinthia Alia Mitchell) (Amazon)
By Nicole Nicassio-Hiskey and Cinthia Alia Mitchell. I love this book for its simple ideas for enriching your cat’s (or dog’s!) daily lives. Covers everything you need to know about enrichment!
Brain Games for Cats (Claire Arrowsmith) (Amazon)
This book has wonderful activities for your cats, including things they can do themselves, or with you and your family (you can even use the clicker with some activities, but you don’t have to). A great way to get your kids involved with your cats’ enrichment!
Trixie 5-in-1 Activity Center (Amazon & Chewy)
This is my FAVORITE food puzzle! This is great for both dry treats/kibble, and you can even put wet food in the square grids. You can make it easier or harder depending on where you put the food. Great for beginners and expert foragers alike!
Trixie Tunnel Feeder
This is a fairly easy food puzzle/slow feeder but it gets the job done – cats have to reach in to get the goodies.
Tiger Diner Ceramic Cat Feeder (SmartCat)
This is a ceramic slow-feeder if you’re concerned about plastic (which can sometimes promote chin acne on cats). Available in black or white.
Swimming Robot Fish Toy (6-Pack) (Amazon)
If your cat enjoys water, give these robot fishies a try! They even light up with flashing LEDs and come with extra batteries.
Catit Senses 2.0 Digger
This is another food puzzle/slow feeder that you can use with kibble or treats. It’s a little more difficult than the tunnel feeders.
Catit Senses 2.0 Food Tree
This is an intermediate-difficulty level food puzzle great for treats and kibble.
Northmate Slow Feed Bowl (The Company of Animals)
This is a feeder that I use in my home and it definitely cuts down on the “scarf and barf” when it comes to kibble!
