best thing you've ever bought your kitty?

So two years ago I got my kitty the "K&H thermo-heated kitty bed" and it is seriously one of the best things I've ever gotten him. He sleeps in it ALL THE TIME and loves it. I don't live in a cold climate, but it doesn't matter - every night & every day Calyx is in that bed. (and especially since he's lost weight & was sick - he lives it in). A downfall, of course, is that I think he likes it more than the human lap, but I guess I win out cause I can scratch his chin & ears. :)

I also have the heated pad, which he sometimes frequents. But the 20 inch bed was the best kitty gift I could have given him.

...unlike the Mondo scratching post, which he still doesn't touch. Instead he uses the $10 cardboard scratcher from Target. Arg.

Hard to say... I mean, a ball of paper can be pretty entertaining to them, or that catnip in the front garden that volunteered on its own that I didn't remove. :D

Blacky especially doesn't care for toys, and she's totally independent. Outside of catnip, she doesn't care for anything we give her.

Blaze loves the laser pointer, so I can say that was the best purchase there.

Jasper is obsessed with this mouse. The purple bodied/green tail one, it has a bell inside it. He'll play fetch with it for ages at a time.

Cat Dancer Original Action Cat Toy at PETCO

This cat dancer is the best toy I've bought. Ivan and Katerina love it and play with it together on the floor. One chasing one end, the other chasing the other. When I put it up on the table to save for me to play with them, they get up on the table and get it down to play with it without me. I can always distract them by tossing it out on the floor. They instantly stop whatever they are doing wrong and go after it.:lol:

The best thing I ever bought for Cleo - the twinz!!!! She's a grumpy little loner girl most of the time, but when she runs through the house with them, it makes me so happy! She likes to watch them act like fools, too.

My cats are pretty active, but for Ziggy it is definitely the Wii. She absolutely goes nuts for it. As soon as she hears it, she is up on the entertainment center waiting to catch the "hand". She also likes my boyfriend's computer desk.

Moosey LOVES cat nip. She has a very slobbery catnip toy that I bought her when we first got her and she carries it around all the time. I bought her a Yeowww and I have to end up taking it away from her because she tries to rip it open. She also likes those little cheap fluffy mice.

They both like the lazer pointer. Moosey will huff and puff because she cant catch it and ziggy will try to climb the walls to get it.

I'm thinking it's whatever I've bought from amazon so they can have the box! I've found that nothing is more alluring to my kitties than a box or a bag. Or anything that resembles them. I couldn't find one of my kitties the other day. Turns out she had fallen asleep inside the mixer cover that I'd put on the counter.

They have several K&H warming beds and a few cat trees and condos, scratchers, loungers, balls & mice, wand toys, and crinkle tunnels and cubes but none measure up to a box or bed. Haha.

That all said, in my opinion the best investments I've made in their regard are our litter robots! Awesome! Wonderful! Spectacular invention!

I have a fairly small apartment (though I've lived in smaller), I have a cat tree that takes up half a small room and is probably about 7ft tall and 3 feet wide, and another almost 5 ft tall, and a few shelves to get up to higher spots (like the stand up closet that has a giant cat bed!). considering 4 cats in this space, I'd say that was my best investment for the whole lot of 'em :D

It wasn't something I bought but something I made. I had a hideous fake fur coat, so I tore it all apart and used the fur to sew small 2 cuddle beds for our little 5 pound Missy. Most cat beds are too big to really get cozy inside for her. The beds are quite popular - more popular than the store bought ones and yesterday I found 13 pound Maddie all squished up inside one of them!!
