Best-Selling Interactive Cat Toys

Interactive means the toy does something back. That is the whole distinction, and it is the one that decides whether a toy gets used every day or twice and then never again.

A wand needs a person on the end of it, so it works brilliantly for ten minutes and then sits in a drawer. A toy that reacts when the cat touches it does not need anybody, which is why it gets picked up on a Tuesday afternoon when the house is empty. Both belong in a home. Only one of them covers the eight hours in the middle of the day.

When you are comparing the two families, the trade-offs are laid out in interactive vs. automated cat toys.
