Here are four super cheap cat toys that I found for my cat, Oreo. The total cost for four toys is $1.64.
A plastic bottle with fishing weight inside.
I had a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi sitting on the floor one day with a glass of soda left in it. Oreo decided that it was going to be their latest and greatest toy that day. Since I know what happens in a shaken pop bottle, this toy doesn’t fly.
The plastic 2 liter Pepsi bottle toy came to me yesterday. Since I knew they liked the Pepsi bottle inside the run and how the bottle rolled when pushing around the floor, I washed the last Pepsi bottle and let it dry inside. APEX: a lid for a bottle, cats are like kids; which do not normally belong in the mouth.
After searching the junk cutters in my house, I found a half ounce fishing weight. I lowered it into the bottle and put the cap back on. I tossed her Oreos on the kitchen floor. Now she has a super cheap bottle and a rattling cat toy.
Price: Pepsi: 84 cents off sale at Dillons. Fishing weight: about 30 cents. Total cost for cat toy: $1.14.
Plastic bottle-caps make great hockey pucks for cats.
Some time back, I was making pots of herbs from plastic two liter bottles. One of the lids of the bottle fell to the ground.
Oreo sniffs the cat to find out what the noise is. He found the bottle in the lid and tried to see what it was. After he discovered that it could easily fly across the floor, he decided to bat a hockey puck around.
Sometimes he picks her up and takes her to another place to play with. This is another super cheap game he wants to play with for hours on end.

Pistulas and brushes paint over cheap hospitality.
I had bought a pair of bristle style pastry brushes to use with the baste while I was baking. One of them found his way to the floor. Before I could take it off, Oreo found it. I thought it was going to be a new toy.
He likes to pull her, push her, throw her around the house. Sometimes in mid-air, he will strike or catch. Until now, Mia.
Since his original brush was missing, two days ago he thought he would try this trick again with one of my husband’s extra large paint brush Almost that he is as great as he is. I knew it wasn’t flying well when the other one was using it too often. It also has cleaning solutions in it so it is not good for him.
I gave him a smaller sponge brush to play with when we don’t know where the other one fell out. When we gave her a new brush to play with, she remembered us throwing it across the floor. She often brings it back so we can do it again until she is tired of the game of hunting.
Price: 50 cents at any dollar type store.
Puff balls are not just for decorating and driving.
I received a spa gift for a Christmas draw one year. This spa kit had two balls on a string puff.
My cats played with them until one of the string of balls fell off. Now he wants to release the windy ball and bat around. The seasons are in the air. Sometimes he brings it home.
Sometimes, he will beat her as if in a fight with another cat. Then sometimes she will put one sleeping area and with her when to fall asleep.
