So I just got a kitten. Woooo! I'll have to make a post about him with pictures when I get them up onto Flickr. But the point of mentioning that is that he loves to play with his toys, which made me want to go searching Etsy for some of the most ridiculously awesome cat toys, and I found a lot of winners! I'll post a few entries over the next few days with the results of my epic Etsy search.

First up on the list are these adorable "Stuffed Rat Toys" from scrivenerferret's shop, which is full of toys for ferrets and cats. Rats are near and dear to my heart because I used to have two as pets (may they rest in peace - I seem to be moving up the food chain in pets aren't I?).

It may be a little morbid giving one to my cat to play with after having rats as pets in the past, but these are so cute who could resist? And these are made with anti-pill fleece, and you can get them with rattle, squeakers or bells for ultimate kitty playtime fun! But I'm not sure whether the eye x's are because they're dead, drunk or have x-ray vision (I prefer the third option)

Also highly adorable is scrivenerferret's "Scrumptious Steak Fleece Toy!"
