We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A pair of play-'n'-squeak mice if your formerly feral kitty still loves to hunt and you'd prefer they stalk these instead of your toes.
2. A zebra-print activity mat that looks exactly like a baby play mat and that just tickles me pink. If your kitten could use some tummy time, the attached hanging toys will keep them entertained.
3. A durable octopus cat teaser certain to keep any spazzed-out kitties nice and entertained. They may grow so obsessed they beg you to play with it while you're supposed to be working from home but typing with one hand (and dangling this with the other) is still better than none, right?
4. A three-tier cat toy with polka-dotted balls they can bat at. One of my cats puts her arms on both sides and essentially plays a modified version of tetherball just with herself.
5. An interactive treat maze for high-energy cats who could use a lil' mental stimulation. It even has three levels of difficulty â beginner, intermediate, and top-cat â so you can switch things up as their hunting skills improve.
6. A handmade, catnip-filled game controller plushie if your kitty baby is jealous of how much time you spend with your PS4. Now, they can also get in on your next Red Dead Redemption 2 sesh.
7. A "jingle and roll" cat kicker toy laced with organic catnip, silvervine, and valerian root so intoxicating, your cat will even want to sleep with it once they get their fill of scratching and biting.
8. A catnip-filled carrot your fur child can bunny kick as hard as it wants. That way, your arm (or other cat) can catch a break.
9. A plush, catnip-filled piece of coal if your four-legged son/daughter is an absolute stinker but you *will* be buying them Christmas presents anyways.
10. A cotton and linen snake that strikes a nice balance for those with an aesthetic to maintain as it's subtle and neutral, but still perfect for batting, chewing, and tossing around the house.
11. A tunnel bed with hanging plushies if your bb's love for toys is only surpassed by one other thing: sleep.
12. A holiday-themed Chewy Goody Box because what's better than a single new toy? A whole dang box of new toys and treats!
13. An interactive feather-and-mouse game that's basically like Whac-A-Mole for your cat. Lucky for them, they don't have to hunt down a carnival or pay $5 a pop to play.
14. A 12-piece set of spiral springs if your cat is ~basic~ and will play with just about anything. (PS: That isn't a dig â I'm simply jealous because my picky cats would never.)
15. A catnip-filled fortune cookie so Kitty Purry can take part in takeout nights as well. Her fortune? The always sage "blame it on the dog."
16. A floppy robotic fish that only moves when your cat interacts with it. Once they get the hang of it, I guarantee they'll be karate chopping and bunny kicking the ish out of it.
17. A rotating sisal scratcher ball for those energetic kitties who were most definitely a DJ in their past life. The durable scratcher *should* even be enticing enough to keep them away from your couch (no promises though â you know how cats are).
18. A set of robotic swimming fish if your kitties are weirdly intrigued by water. The palm-sized gadgets light up and their fins keep them on the move whether placed in a bowl, sink, or â if your babies are especially brave â bathtub.
19. A banana toy sure to please, as it's filled with nothing but 100% catnip! One reviewer said the faux fruit is so potent, their fur baby is still attacking it a full year later!
20. An interactive tunnel and assortment of toys, because ~statistically speaking~, you have a better chance of success when presenting your cat with 20 different toys instead of just one.
21. A mouse-shaped feeder that will keep your cat on their toes by encouraging their natural hunting instincts. Fill it up with food, hide it somewhere in the house, and then let 'em loose.
22. A randomized laser *certain* to give your cat the zoomies, but that's okay because you won't have to be the one who operates it for hours at a time â it's automatic!
23. A $3 piece of string on a stick that will make your cat happier than any expensive electronic toy or even the box said toy comes in!
24. A crinkly catnip/valerian root/silvervine mat for lazy lil' kitties who rather roll around on the floor than get in some cardio chasing after a robotic toy.
25. And a UFO-shaped teaser with two 360-degree battery-operated butterflies and a track with two impossible-to-remove balls. The dual toy can be used as is or even separated if your kitty prefers to play with them individually.
