While owning a cat is, for the most part, a pretty hands-off endeavor, they can prove to be a handful at times. Particularly, when they’re hungry or worse yet, bored but (surprisingly) not sleepy. Everybody needs a pastime — yes, even cats — so you’re going to have to find something to keep them busy when they’re not sleeping, eating, or stepping all over you while you’re trying to doze off. There are plenty of toys out there that can keep your cat busy and plenty out there that they’ll just plain hate. Don’t worry, we’re only here to cover the former.

Best Cat Toy Set

It’s no secret that cats can be, well, pretty destructive at times. Especially when they’re playing with something they may or may not think is a wild animal. For cats that go through toys like it’s their day job, or just get tired of one relatively quickly, you can always get them this assortment of 24 Cats/Kitten Toys from Youngever. This wide array of toys is sure to keep any cat satisfied. The set includes a variety of different cat-friendly items such as a Cat tunnel, Cat Teaser Wand, Interactive Feather Toy, Fluffy Mouse, Crinkle Balls, Cat Springs, and more.
