The selection of cat toys may be a matter of opinion. Why not first let’s take a look at which toys are not suitable for cats to play with.

Toys not suitable for cats

Beam type toys  Beam-type toys are destined not to satisfy cats, because they have no physical body, so no matter how hard the cat tries to chase them, it will just be "in vain" in the end. This can easily cause cats to become stressed. After all, if they often cannot catch their toys, it will make them doubt their abilities, which will in turn make them more and more stressed. Moreover, some beam-type toys can hurt their eyes, or the beam-type toys used by cats cannot be used by cats because of the strong beam.

Colored toys Cats cannot play with toys that have faded, even if the coloring is not harmful to cats. After all, cats like their things to stay the same. If they play with them, they will find that the toys change color. If they do, it will make them think that the shit shoveler is playing a prank on them.

Rope  Ropes are considered to be the type of toys that cats are most likely to eat into their stomachs (not necessarily all of them, eating part of them is also dangerous). Rope-type toys not only have the risk of getting stuck in the cat's throat, but also affect the cat's intestinal function if eaten by the cat. Therefore, it is best not to use rope toys for cats no matter what kind of toys they are. Of course, it’s fine if the pet owner plays with it, except for the cat teasing stick.

Toys with sounds  Cats hate sudden sounds. After hearing such sounds, they will either run away or eat the things that make such sounds. This is why some cats suddenly eat bells while playing with them. At that time, the problem can only be solved through surgery.

Things that are too hard  Cats like to hold toys in their mouths and move them around. If the toy is too hard, it will damage their teeth.
