These Are the Highest Rated Cat Toys on Amazon

A bored kitty is a destructive kitty. Is yours attacking you in the night? Destroying the furniture? Do you wake up being stared down by feline resentment?

You can buy your way out of this. Kitty’s love is for sale. And the price is not always canned food and salmon-flavored treats. Cats are predators. They need to chase things. They have brains and muscles that need exercise.

Here are 7 of the most highly rated cat toys out there. Bring one—or several—home for your feline roommate.

They bounce, are soft in kitty’s mouth, and are super fun to chase around the house.
