You have a new cat in your house...
Litter? Checked!
Food? Checked!
Pillow? Checked (either way, your cat will choose it's sleeping place to be the best place in your house)!
Hmm, let's see... What's missing here? Well, of course, cat's toys!

Here is a basic 4 points guide, teaching you what to buy for your cat enjoyment... Keeping the cat entertain is a great way to keep your jewelery, computer cords, mobile charger, paper money, carpets and other expensive things not harmed (or not, because, eh, a cat can get easily bored, so you must keep on buying new toys everyday :) )

1. Anything SISAL
Sisal is a great plant for cats. It makes sturdy ropes, used by toys manufacturers to build trees for cats or other small toys. The cats can enjoy a good climbing and in the same time get a manicure. Make sure you have at least one complex tree, with tunnels and sleeping places and you will sure have a happy cat! In the same time, so small mouse or ball made of the same sisal will not be a bad idea to purchase...

2. Catnip
Catnip is another thing your cat will adore. It is a plant, related to mint, that will make your cat get...well, high! But only for a few moments of extremely feline pleasure. You will find lots of different toys filled with catnip at your local pet store. The same, be sure to buy a catnip spray or dried catnip to pour on the places you want your cat to love.

3. Balls
Well, a cat tastes can be very basic some time. Just give him a shinny ball to roll and to chase, and all its predators instinct will arise :) And if the ball is filled with catnip, let the party begin!

4. A big NO to small, detachable parts!
Cats can be curious, and if a toy has small detachable parts they can become curious to see how a piece of plastic taste. And you don't really want to visit emergency vet during the night, right? So stay away of toys with little pieces of plastic that your cat can pull apart, please!, it can be lethal to your feline!
