There are many kinds of cat toys you can buy for your cat. Your cat will like to play with diffrent toys, but cats can get bored from playing with same toys, so you can hide one toy give other one and change again after a month.This way will help your cat never bore from its toys.

Rod Type Toys: These type of toys allow you to play with your cat. Your cat will like to chase toys.IMPORTANT : Dont leave this type of toys around when you are not at home or when you are not watching your cat. String is dangerous for your cat.You can see at below link how cats play with rod toys alone.But I recommend you play together with your cat.It will help you build bond.

Pelush Toys: Soft toys not only entertain your cat they are also great `night toys`.At night sometimes cats want to play and when they throw toys they making a lot of noise.If you leave a soft toy for your cat at night it can play as much as it wants and no one will wake up :)) Soft toys are very safe for your cat. They will like to hunt it and try to kill little pelush toys.

Balls: Something to chase around :) Mostly end up under sofa after few seconds of playing.

Boxes/market bags/Cat Tunnels : Most cats love to hide inside a box,follow its pray from darkness :) They will invent several games with boxes/tunnels.
Cats need to hide as their nature.They can sleep,play and enjoy the sounds which bags are making while they are playing inside :) So getting your cat a box or tunnel is great idea. You can also do it yourself too.With a box and few holes.
