American Ebay shop - some great, unusual cat toys, including large glitter balls that are always a hit, resulting in epic games of fetch, and mice covered with rabbit fur.

Tip - if you're ordering 50 glitter balls, why not arrange to share with a friend ? If ordering more, bear in mind that you may end up paying import duty.

Glitter ball tips - the ones from these sellers are safe. However:

1 - When buying from an unknown supplier, drop a ball in water and check to see no dye comes out - if it does, bin them. Supervise your cat playing to start with - cheap glitter balls can come apart easily and may get eaten. If they start coming apart, bin them

2 - Don't buy any glitter balls smaller than one inch as these are too small and a choking hazard.

3 - Even the 1 inch ones are a bit small for some cats that like to chew - I do not recommend unsupervised play with these small ones

4 - Very occasionally, cats just decide to chew glitter balls, even the large ones, into a soggy mess. If yours is one of these, I would NOT recommend unsupervised play with any size.

These are little cuddly toys with a pouch for a "tea bag" of catnip that you can refill.

There have been some enthusiastic recommendations for the carrot from a certain Mystic Tree cat on the site. Leia has a dog, which she tosses in the air and throws down the stairs and Lana has a chilli pepper !!

good value too :D
