Best Toys to Entertain and Engage Your Playful Cat

When I took in my two adorable kittens, Potato and Casserole, they were just six weeks old. Though initially intended to be their foster mom, I found myself irresistibly charmed and within a week, it was clear: there was no way I was letting them go. A year and a half later, they’re healthier, happier, and more energetic than ever.

Keeping up with two young and active cats means constantly finding toys to keep them occupied and entertained while satisfying their boundless energy. When the opportunity arose to test out Whisker City toys from PetSmart, I eagerly accepted—anything to keep them from finding creative ways to redecorate my apartment!

Our first trial was the Whisker City Spring Swatter Chirping Cat Toy. Initially, the kittens were cautious about this unfamiliar toy. But once Casserole boldly swatted it, both kittens were enchanted by the noise and captivating bouncing motion.

Potato took a liking to the Swatter; often, I hear its chirping from another room, a sure sign one of them has engaged with it. For inquisitive and dynamic cats, this active toy is perfect.

Next up was the Whisker City Ball Track & Scratcher. With a similar ball-track design but a unique scratcher center, I was curious about their response.

They immediately enjoyed batting the balls along the track. I added some catnip on the scratcher, sparking further interest. Sometimes, they’ll leisurely bat the balls or lounge on the scratcher—truly a versatile addition!

Finally, the Whisker City Chirping Mouse Teaser Attachment and Comfort Handle Teaser Wand became an instant hit. Our previous wand toy bit the dust, and this replacement was more robust, with multiple toys on one string and delightful chirps.

The handle is exceptionally comfortable for extended play sessions, and both kittens can’t get enough. When it’s playtime, they abandon any mischief for a chance to jump, chase, and even carry the teaser around. It’s an excellent toy for keeping them entertained and active.
