I've been accumulating a fair number of toys since Lubo came home. They range from small balls and mice to a massive double tree which takes up the best part of my small spare room.

I've found that Lubo likes his cat activity gym best for both playing and sleeping on - he's also a big fan of interactive toys and I'm considering buying him a 'panic mouse type toy' to save my poor arms

I'd be interested to hear what other forum members experience is.

Forget the panic mouse, Bengals are far too smart for it We have one and whilst it was fun when they were really small, they soon realised how to defeat it - simply place a paw on the "wand" and hold it down, mouse defeated I did have a video of them playing with it - think it may be in the gallery somewhere...

Our male, Zeus's favourite toy is anything he can pick up easily in his mouth, so he can play fetch with it

all my babies like my laser pointer and go absolutely bananas for it. i got it off ebay for a couple of quid and filthy likes a screwed up piece of paper! that is her favourite to which she know fetches and brings back on command . i will try and post a vid of it but will have to upload it from my phone.they all love their trees too

My oldest girl loves to play with straws? from drink cartons. My kitten loves anything that shines ;- my watch, earrings , bracelets, scissors, keys. So jewllery has to be put away or she carries it off somewhere.

I have to agree on DaBird, laser pointer and BOXES... Sometimes I get boxes from work (they're free" and bring them home, cut "holes" in sides, and a "door" in the closed ones... and my cats all love to play "peek-a-boo" with one another from both INSIDE and outside the boxes.

I have a different problem with DaBird. I have to HIDE mine, or they totally destroy it. And, it seems they NEVER tire of it.

Zenith is a LITTLE INTENSE... and sometimes it's VERY difficult to get it back, when HE gets his little jaws clamped on it, properly.

I'm glad to see we all enjoy the INTERACTIVE toys.

Zenith's FAVORITE toy is a little stuffed black bear. My son and I have never had a cat (in our many years of being OWNED by cats) who attached themselves SO completely to a stuffed animal. Every evening, we both have our time, playing "I've got your Bear" with him. (grin)
He doesn't seem to MIND me having bear, as long as I keep it where he can see it, but if I hold it where he can't see it, after he's seen me holding it in plain view, he has to come INSPECT me, to find where I've stowed it.

He DOES NOT like for my son to have Bear. He will follow him around the house "STALKING" with eyes as big as saucers, waiting for the moment my son puts "Bear" down, so he can SNATCH it and RUN to hide it in my bedroom.

Several of my cats, both Bengals and moggys will play fetch with a paper ball, or the fabirc covered pony-tail bands. Those are fun to "sling-shot" across the room for a merry game of fetch, when more than ONE cat is playing.

What's your bengals favourite toy?

Someone else's home right now it seems.

I have to agree with Gavin about the Panic Mouse - I bought one and my cats just knocked it over.

Almost all of them like catnip items, particularly catnip in long tubes (eg. banana or cigar shaped toys), so they can disembowel it with their back claws.

Some of them like the furry 'mice' - I find it's the silver ones that go batty for them for some reason - my brown ones can't be bothered!

One of my cats loves a furry ball that she can spear with her claw - she then sits on her back legs and hits it with her other paw until it flies into the air - she then chases it.

Toys that we have to hide because of their seeming mystical powers over our cats include cat dancers, and cat wands with shiny thronds on the end.

Might I add that Zigmund hides his somewhere, His favorite toy used to be an empty ball (out of a 50 cent machine that had a toy inside) with a little bell in it and cat nip with holes poked in the bottom. - its missing.
or the little furry mice, the ones that I HAVE found are tore to pieces. most of them - missing.
jingly balls, - missing.
and small stuffed animal toys - missing.
