When we’re all sheltering in place with our favorite kitties, we tend to pass the time by binge watching must-see TV series, immersing ourselves in epic novels, or taking up kitchen projects.
But it’s also important to make sure we’re using the extra time at home to bond with our cats, and adding a few extra toys to the rotation is a great way to do so.
Here are five cat toys that will help you bond with your feline during shelter in place.
1. A Worm Wand Cat Toy

It’s a universal truth that cats cannot resist a stealthy chase, and a wand toy can be an alluring way to kickstart a play session when you and your feline are hanging out at home together.
Pet Fit For Life’s worm wand cat toy comes complete with five different vibrantly colored worms that will squiggle and jiggle all around your living room. A removable bell is also included for those kitties who are tempted in by audible cues!
2. An Electric Motion Cat Toy

How does an electric motion cat toy work? Well, in the case of SmartyKat’s Feather Whirl cat toy, the weighted base moves and wobbles around in a fashion that’s designed to catch your cat’s eye and instigate a frantic play session.
Consider the toy a shoe-in for stealthy felines who just love to stalk their toy prey!
3. A Catnip Teaser Toy

Fancy a spot of fishing for your favorite feline? That’s the idea behind tail teaser toys: While holding onto the pole end of the toy, you can lure in your kitty by skillfully moving the soft critter attached to the end of it.
The catnip toy will surely provide the bait you need to land your favorite “catfish” and keep kitty entertained. Naturally, feel free to fish from the comfort of your couch.
4. A Laser Teaser Cat Toy

After all, has there ever been a feline who could resist to appeal of the infamous red laser dot?
