Promised an update so here it is! 2 weeks ago I asked around for some authentic cat toys, and got loads of great suggestions for what to get the cat, appreciate all of them! ☺️ Our newly adopted Nori arrived just a few days ago and we couldn’t be happier! She’s full of life and it only took here a few minutes the get comfortable in her new home. Amongst the favourite toys are:

  • A Paper Bag, as seen in first picture. This was from last weeks Vietnamese Takeaway, wasn’t even planing on keeping it but she gets the zooomies everyone she starts playing with or around that bag. So that’s a keeper.
  • Wine corks! Got a few of those ones saved up for different use cases. Also tied on to the Cat tower we got here, which has seen a lot of use already.
  • Cardboard roll (remain of a toilet roll) is another great winner.
  • The casual small balls with bells inside of them.
  • The carpet. Our carpet is light enough for her to lift and she loves this. When she gets the zooomies she spins underneath the carpet one end and comes out the other end, love seeing this!

With all the playing comes a lot of sleeping too, and she will literally fall asleep in our arms when carrying her, which is very adorable. Although she prefer to sleep in the tippy top of the cat tower.

Thanks for all the tips and discussion in this community, learnt loads from others and can’t wait to contribute with silly and cute cats pictures now too 😁

      Not sure there is too much to say, in my country we have a second hand market for most things, including animals. Simply messaged the person who needed to adopt away their kitten 😺 Or was there anything else in specific you were curious about?
