That image makes me uncomfortable and fills me with a mild rage… therefore, I suspect it is AI.

If you commit data center resources to producing you a picture of something you could easily find on the internet instead, I will downvote you. Can people not see how that’s a problem? Why does this stupid fake cat tree picture need to fucking exist? All you’re doing is helping justify the data centers, and wasting resources by creating dumb shit like this.

The most consistent ones for me are cat trees, cardboard box scratching pad, an elastic ball that they both love to chase around (one of the two cats also fetches and brings it back like a dog), cat tunnels, and an elastic carrot thing with catnip in it that they love to attack

Also hiding some of the old toys they don’t care about and then bringing them back once they have kinda forgotten about their existence can spark up their excitement sometimes

Cardboard box scratching pads

Take the tinfoil wrap off of a Hershey’s kiss up in a small ball, then take several more of those tinfoil wraps and keep wrapping until you get a ball approximately a quarter to a half inch across. Then toss it on the floor near the cat.

5070 GPU, but my wife’s starting to suspect it wasn’t primarily for the cat

Ball of twine.

My cats all love these crinkle snakes. I’ve gifted them to friends who have cats, too, and they’ve been a hit.

I bought some of those as seen on TV foam door runners in fabric tubes made to help seal a room.

When Ash was just six weeks old she came charging through the living room with one, it had to be ten times her size. She was so damned proud of her kill.

To this day it’s the only thing she consistently plays with, other than q-tips.

Trash and the $3 steel wire with some curled up paper on the end.

Only cat toys that have ever worked are laser pointer and long springy steal wire with a feathers in the end.
