Non catnip filled toys for cats

[Sam (Fussy_Furball)]

Furry mice are good,  ping pong balls (in the bath - no water),  One of the favourite toys in our house is a ball of tin foil slightly smaller than a ping pong ball -  it can be batted out and they can "pick-it up" with their claws and then toss is about.

There are other toys available in the purrs shop:  http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=23&osCsid=r8ij5fao15fsfionhdigh1dml5

Pets at home sell mice with microchips which are movement sensitive and squeak when they are boshed.

Memphis goes crazy for ping pong balls - he chases them around like a lunatic and the greatest toys ever are bits of paper, cardboard, straws and bags.

Slight problem we have in the house is that my older cat Penguin will spray on anything with catnip in it.

Now since we’ve adopted Gizmo I’m noticing we just don’t have enough toys and my hands/feet keep getting attacked.

We’ve got about 6 small critter toys that I bought in the US ages ago, Da Bird and some other fishing rod type toys. And one of those balls in a circle thing (no idea what they are called but the ball doesn’t come out). And various balls to chase.

3 scratching posts, a cat tent from Ikea, various beds/blankets.

It just doesn’t seem enough for our latest addition, he’s only a kitten and I really need things that I can play with him and not get my hands shredded. His previous owners had a dog so I think he got used to attacking hands/feet and I would like to break him of this.

Penguin’s 1st year in England anniversary is on May 15th so I was going to go a little nuts and buy a lot of new toys but with the catnip issue I need some help!
