Fun Cat Toys for Less






So, you’ve spent $50 bucks already on toys your cat doesn’t even like! But, don’t stress; the Kitty Master shall help you. I have compiled a list of toys that are mostly under $6 dollars. Hint: your cat may not always immediately like the new toy. Try throwing it in places that smell like familiar objects and give it time.

1. Mew Ments tennis balls. These are some of the most least inexpensive toys that cats love. There’s a little bell inside of each one to pique your cats’ interest even more. Throw them down stairs, down hallways, even just up in the air, or just sit back and watch your cat enjoy itself for just $4 or $5 dollars for six tennis balls.


2. Another easy toy is a ‘teaser’. You can buy these handheld ribbons on a stick for about $4 dollars.

My cats love chasing, flipping and circling with this inexpensive toy. If you’re not home you can buy automatic ones that will ‘play’ with your cat when you don’t have time or aren’t home. The automatic ones are slightly more expensive and cost around $15 dollars. You can find lots of different brands; personally I’ve not tried these, but most cats have fun if they aren’t freaked by a machine playing with them.


3. These are what I call ‘dingle balls’; they are typically plastic balls with little bells that are a little bit different than the tennis ball and might be slightly better for kittens or cats of any age; they’re just smaller and less intimidating to a kitten. For a pack of six you only have to shell out $4 bucks.

4. This toy hardly costs you anything. A little time, a crochet needle, some yarn and some know-how. Even if you can’t crochet you can just wind up string into a ball and let your cat have at. Sometimes your little Mittens will like home made toys better than store bought.

5. Another great ‘noisy’ toy is the Mylar ball. These are balls made out of a material resemblant to colored foil. These will only cost you about $2 bucks for 2 balls. Most cats like them but if your cat hates noise then I wouldn’t buy them. But my cats love them.


A kitty master quick tip: try keeping your cat’s toys in an accessible basket or box to keep your cat occupied when you may not always think to play with it.

Hang Out with Your Pets at the Hilton

I want a summer vacation but I want to take my best friend with me! Where can I go?

I suggest a Hilton Hotel. Not only is this Paris Hilton’s hotel but this is also somewhere you can spoil froufrou. They have these hotels all around the country. Just this year, the chain of Hilton hotels accepted a pet friendly agreement, which of course means your pet is given a welcome gift, a tote made of crypton super fabric for cleanliness and durability. The tote includes:

tasty organic treats

pocket size packet of bio-degradable waste bags

travel-sized bottle of disinfectant

deodorizer & one-step cleaner for pet stains and smells and

a Hilton pet collar tag.

Plus for their in-room gifts, they offer a sanitary designer pet pillow, two Hilton pet bowls and a Hilton rubber mat; to make your pet feel even more pampered they offer a list of local attractions for Mittens and Muffy. Also if you’d like to snooze the day away some Hilton hotels offer a bathroom service for your pet. Your pet can also go to a pet lounge while you go to a spa or get a makeover.

So of course I would suggest this for you and your pet’s special trip. The main hotel is in New York. The rates are affordable on the right person's pocket, and you will most definitely get your money’s worth when you sink into your cloud-like bed and gaze out at New York from your sensibly decorated room with pristine design. And as you explore New York you will be knowing all along that your four-legged love is having just as good a time as you.
