I've been checking out new and interesting cat toys for Tucker for when we leave in our 5th wheel. About a month from now, I think, but we're in it every day and letting him get used to it as well.
I have chosen a few to go along with his trusted faves (and found, via packing up everything we own) that there were some things he'd snatch out of boxes to keep as his own. How cute is that?
hehe

My question this time around: In my quest for the perfect limited-space-maximum-pleasure/exercise toys, at three different pet stores, I've seen bubbles in all three. Maybe they aren't even new. I don't know. I was intrigued at first... but wanted to know if anyone else has any experience?
I read the contents and it really is just like the ones we buy the kids. So how could this be good for kitty's eyes?
Anyone?

I got some for my cats once. They seemed to like watching them. KC

I fell for the bubbles thing, too. Cats were veeerryyy disinterested.
I wouldn't do it again ....

Very, very cute. :-)

My cats love bubbles. Never had one pop in their eyes. :-)

I have purchased catnip-scented bubbles before and the cats couldn't
care less about them.

The best cat toy I have found is the CatDancer - every cat I know
loves the things. Our old time faves are paper grocery bags and the
plastic rings off of milk bottles. Reuse, recycle, ya know.

Mine didn't like the bubbles -- like yours they love lids. They also
like the little mice that rattle - for somereason they all play with
those. They also love the ball inside the ring for self play. Put it
far from the bedroom or you'll be up all night.
