I’ve bought some cat toys for Nysse, and made one or two myself. The first few were fun for several evenings. Since then, though, he usually loses interest quite quickly in a new toy.

One kind of toy that keeps entertaining him more than most is empty toilet paper rolls. (Also, Adrian’s rubber eraser, and a pen topped with a large eraser.) They bounce, and move in a slightly unpredictable manner. Plus the toilet paper rolls can be attacked and killed. But afterwards, when they’re flattened and torn up and full of holes, they are no longer interesting.
