To keep the cats playful and active, toys and other stimulants are provided on a regular basis. A bowling ball or Boomer ball (tm) are provided for chasing and swatting, truck or car tires for attacking and chewing, and logs or telephone poles for scratching. Boomer balls (tm) are a sturdy plastic hollow ball or other shapes. We are currently in need of extra-large Boomer toys for the tigers, call them at (800) 858-9529 to order a toy or a catalog. (Thanks to a supporter in Florida who has sent us many new balls - check out Jasmine with hers!) 
We also periodically introduce other scent or tactile stimulants, such as ground allspice (they react to it like housecats do to catnip), and coconuts or whole gourds such as pumpkins or squash. They attack the gourds, ripping them to shreds and occasionaly eating pieces. Fun for them, a mess to clean up after!
So if you're planning a visit, check your local grocery store first for any cheap squash/gourds! (We currently have about a hundred unused bowling balls, so PLEASE don't bring more of those!) Another good thing to bring would be a few live feeder goldfish (the larger size) our fishing cats love those! Here's Sassy fishing and catching some.
