My cats are fickle when it comes to playing. They get bored with their toys quickly, so I have had to get creative with how I play with them. For a while I toyed around with the idea of getting a small RC car that I could drive around and the cats could chase after, but i was never sure how they would take to it. I got one off Amazon last week, and my cats both love it! I set up a couple ramps made out of cardboard around my apartment, and I drive the cars around, jump them off the ramps, etc, and the cats go wild for it. I've even attached feathers to the back a couple times for an added piece of visual stimulation. I have found that the movements from the car can be more rodent-like (with a bit of practice) because you can alter its course immediately, rather than having predictable arcs and dragging patterns when using Da Bird or other fishing pole toys.
They're cheap (the one I got was around $10), only a couple inches long, you just have to plug them into the wall to recharge vs buying batteries, and they can take a beating (this thing has seen the inside of my cats' mouths quite a bit over the last week). I also imagine this would be a good way to keep your cats stimulated if you have a bad back, arthritis, or something else that prevents you from actively playing with your cats.
