Great news! About to adopt a new cat!! Super excited and can't get to get her (pictures to come). Although I want to prepare the house with some toys and stuff for the cat to play with and enjoy. What has worked well for you? Any toys in particular? Cat trees worth it? Hit me with your best recommendations! 😻

Cheap plastic springs are the most effective cat toy, bar none. Google 'plastic spring cat toy', you'll find what I mean. Check your local dollar store before ordering anything online

Believe this. My cats have been offered at least 20 other types of toys during their 10 years. From cheap or free to stupid expensive. No toys kept their attention for more than a day, except for those plastic springs. They make keep you up at night chasing the things. A down side is that they will lose them, so you'll have to keep replenishing the supply every 6months or so. And there will be scads of the things under the refrigerator and bathtub.
