The folks over at Fierce and Nerdy point out quite a few of our toys for their Cat Toy Christmas article. Since it is getting pretty darned close to Xmas at this point you’ll want to order fast (or up your shipping to second day air). Otherwise you’ll be getting your kitty presents after the holidays (not always a bad thing — cats tend to enjoy the wrapping paper as much as the gift, so they may just pay more attention to their gifts if they get them the first week of January).

For those last minute gifts for fellow cat lovers there are always gift certificates, which are delivered quickly via email.

The saga of the hard to find crinkle balls…

When we talk about the crinkle ball being hard to find we are referring to the fact that they seem to find their way under sofas, radiators, stoves, refrigerators and the like. But we came across a dedicated cat owner who simply could not find them in a pet store. Good thing they found CatToys.com!

Here is what the Adventures in Tofu blog had to say about hunting down those elusive kitty balls… “Oh, but I am not so easily dissuaded from my goal. My cat wants a crinkly ball, so a crinkly ball she shall have. It’s the least I can do for someone who sleeps on my desk every day while I’m working. Most people won’t do that for you.”

So if your cat loves crinkle balls like Ashley does, take their advice (and ours too) buy them in bulk!

The hottest holiday gifts this year are electronic toys for your kitty. You’ll want to check out the Mouse in the House and the Fling-ama-string. Both are great toys for your cat.

The Fling-ama-string is a unique take on the good ole ball of yarn. Just take away the ball and attach the string to a belt pulled by a motor and you have one enticing cat toy. The string goes round and round, daring your cat to get it. Don’t worry it won’t hurt the motor if he does get it as catching it is all part of the fun.

The Mouse in the House has a mouse on a track running through a house (reason for the name). The mouse comes out from under the stove and back under the living room table. This toy is designed to be used by your cat while you’re away. You can set the timer or train your cat to push the button to activate it, either way you kitty will be entertained when you’re out of the house.

Hundreds of cats agree these are two way cool cat toys! Stop by our site and watch videos of these toys in action.
