Cat enrichment ideas?

Knotted wrappers also make a good toy!

Cat nip impregnated paper bags I will say no more .

Ragdolls are very sassy and know they rule the house and are specialists at getting their own way

You can get cat activity boards and cat treat balls, used to have them when we had the alley Cat as he bolted his food. Tried princess ragdoll with them, far too lazy to bother when she knew she could just get them out a bowl - my mum's ragdoll was the same

Ours like sisal balls/mice which rattle

Have you tried catnip aka cat cannabis?

No entertaining catnip antics sadly, they are sleepy stoners they would like a treat ball!

Shall eagerly await photos/ videos of your creations!

Cellophane type sweet wrappers, but you do of course need to eat the sweet first, win win

I will accept this noble quest to provide our tiny overlords with toys

Madam Carrie Cat says feline Slaves should ignore almost all the above advice. In the past, she has been gifted the following:
1. A Cat Batperson with a silly little cape, and a stupid grin. It has a pretend fur tail and its' fat cotton body was infused with catnip which soon went off. It's on my big ex-dog snooze cage's door.
2. In Cat Slave's past, some people have donated fishing rod type cat toys. The one with Fevvers on is now utterly destroyed and has disappeared.
3. The one with a blue catnip-infused furry ball on a string is still going strong and sometimes still play with it.
4. Cat Slave and I are now in the aft cabin, as it's small, cosy and much easier to heat. 5. The aft cabin has The Cosy Double Bunk Bed.
6. On the above, I can tread/sit/lie all over Cat Slave, get under the duvet if I'm getting a bit cold and lounge on the cashmere scarf if I'm warm enough.
7. Also, I can demand cupboards and indoor clothes hanging locker are opened. Ditto access to the wheelhouse and heads.
8. When above orders have been achieved, I look in the opened spaces and decide that they're boring. Nothing to see here.
9. At which point I return to the bunk and lie on top of Cat Slave and prevent her moving a muscle.
10. First Breakfast eaten. Fresh water provided. Cat litter box cleaned and fresh litter provided. Groomed. All orders fulfilled.
I wish a Very Happy Christmas to all my feline friends in the ether. Just make sure that all your wishes are immediately fulfilled!
Sincerely Yours,
Madam Fatty Chatty Carrie Catty. xxxn

Definitely cardboard boxes, but move and change them regularly. Mine love round wicker type baskets as well. Mum and her two children spend hours hiding in them. Scrunched paper balls inside the boxes are an even bigger hit.
We put the pop up tent up in one room for my son to play in and the cats absolutely loved it. They also love a blanket or sheet draped somewhere, or floor length curtains. As they won't be going outdoors until spring I sometimes bring in a piece of turf in a bowl, or put (non toxic) branches in a heavy vase for them to smell.
