My cat Marmie also has more interest in not the toy, but the bag it came in :wink: .Cat nip stuffed toys are very popular when first bought, but seem to lose their potency after a bit and are relegated to the corner for only brief visits.
I agree about the laser pointer, Marmie just loves that, and will chase that little red light all over the place.
At the present time her favorite toy is something called the Cat Dancer, (no im not a salesman) it's a thin wire about 2and a half feet long with a group of 5 pellet sized pieces of durable cardboard at one end. When I wave this around, she goes crazy jumping after it and chasing it around the floor.
She'll play with it by herself when its hung off the wall also. Whenever some one accidently hits the wire, she'll immediatly stop whatever she's doing and sit under the wire and look at you ready to go again! We've worn out two.
