Cat toy suggestions

Question

Hi Everyone! 

I'm adopting a brown Burmese from a shelter called Arlo. Apparently she used to spend a long time enjoying life outside, and i am worried that she wont accustom well to life being inside. Are there any toy suggestions that would help keep her engaged and entertained being inside? 

Any advice would be fantastic!

Try interactive toys like feather wands, laser pointers, or electronic mice to keep your cat engaged. Puzzle feeders and treat-dispensing balls add mental stimulation. Soft plush toys or catnip-filled cushions are great for comfort and play.

Here are some popular types of cat toys that you might consider:

Balls: These can be great for cats that like to chase and pounce.

Wands: These toys typically have a feather or other dangling object at the end of a string. They can be good for interactive playtime with your cat.

Puzzle toys: These toys are designed to challenge your cat's mind and provide mental stimulation. They often involve hiding treats or toys inside a puzzle that your cat has to solve to get to the reward.

Scratchers: These toys are great for cats that like to scratch. They can help protect your furniture by giving your cat a designated scratching area.

Catnip toys: These toys are infused with catnip, which many cats find irresistible. They can be a great way to provide your cat with some extra stimulation and fun.
