although he hates me, I still love him and always fall in love with him, and have happy feelings when I stroke him, so hopefully It's not that but might be something else
He's not normally bothered when I pick him up - just sits there happily, although (understandably) he struggles after long. But he DEFINITELY NOT A LAP CAT! as soon as you put him on your lap he runs off! But I'm still holding him the way I was told, which is the way he is usually comfortable...

depends on your catz personality but some like -
feathers
stick with string tied to the end of it, with something dangling off it - good to drag around the floor for them to pounce on
wind up pretend animals
squeking mice etc
bouncy balls
string
and yes - toilet rolls! my cat also plays...
ozzy has been grumpy ALL his life , or at least ever since we got him - when he was 1 month old. I absolutely LOVE him, but for some reason, hes always sad - his tails always flicking, its always down, he bites everyone etc. me and my family try REALLY hard with him - feeding him when he wants...
