I completely agree with you about cat toys, and also a lot of things sold as dog toys. Even if they aren't dangerous they're WAY too expensive for what they are. I used to buy Spike dog toys but I had to stop after I got Squish - he is the master of disaster, and what he doesn't destroy outright he'll lose somewhere. The only toys I ever buy now are Spike's soft rubber balls, because he can't have tennis balls - he chomps down so hard he's worn the points off his teeth with the abrasive fluff coating, so he has to have soft balls.
The cattens have two of those little plastic balls with bells in that they're quite fond of, but they were just as happy with the plum - anything that rolls and can be chased works for them.
Later today I'm going to stick a feather into a plum and see how they like that :-D
