We have been preparing for Ava's arrival for a year. So tonight (while Kato was asleep) I thought I'd better check in on the stockpile of toys that has been growing in our cupboard! But these aren't toys for Ava, they are for a massive Kato party. By all accounts, Korats readily bond with each other, but I'm prepared for an introductory phase where I might need to convince Kato that this a happy event...so, while Ava is getting used to her new room, we'll be having a party (or maybe there'll be two parties happening on either side of the door!)
As you can see, we have gone to town with various Dabird attachments. This is Kato's favourite toy, and we've been using a variety of homemade attachments, so I thought it would be nice to get some new things. Not all are the 'Dabird' brand - anything will work so long as you can poke the pin through it, or there is a ring to clip into. Then we sometimes use Bandaids to soften the metal attachment area.
In addition to 'DaBird', we have some feather ticklers. We broke into the stash last month and gave Kato something similar to prick his 'appetite'...he really wanted it for about 2 minutes. And that's it. So these ones might be more enticing to a kitten - we'll see.
And quite randomly, there is a bottle of cat bubbles!
I think the best variety of cat toys I have seen is at http://www.pamperedcatsplayground.com.au/
