Great news! About to adopt a new cat!! Super excited and can't get to get her (pictures to come). Although I want to prepare the house with some toys and stuff for the cat to play with and enjoy. What has worked well for you? Any toys in particular? Cat trees worth it? Hit me with your best recommendations! ๐Ÿ˜ป

Thanks for the recommendation, got the first toy linked already, however the second one seems really fun too, so light pick that one up aswell.

Regarding the cat tree, the reason I asked was exactly for what you mentioned. At least where I live these trees are not exactly cheap, so would be a bit of a waste I feel. However I might want to try do make a DIY project out of it instead ๐Ÿค”

The second toy I trained one of the cats to fetch and bring back. That's fun.

I made a DIY cat hammock out of pvc pipe and feed sack so they can lay and look out the window. That's been used almost daily for ~4 years now.

Edit: if you have the room for it, these are cheap fun: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sakrete-Common-10-in-Actual-9-5-in-48-in-Concrete-Tube-Form/3037270
