Luciano loves two of the wand toys I bought, the mouse & the feather/bird. He doesn't like the fish as much. I play with the mouse the most, because it's more durable. The bird has already lost two feathers that I threw out before he swallowed them. He's really good at catching them even when they're zooming around in the air. My boyfriend came up with holding onto the wand & flicking the mouse up into the loft, which causes L to run up the ladder, grab the mouse & exit the loft at the other end, jumping across about 2-3 feet, jumping down about 4 feet & then jumping down from waist high furniture. Lately sometimes he stops up in the loft & dangles the mouse on wire about a foot from the loft edge & grabs at it with his paw. I've yet to get video of this but it's adorable.
Another game with the mouse is when I put it through the hole on top of a wooden step stool & he tried to grab it through the slot from above, or lays on the floor beneath it and tried to get it. He gets the zoomies in the morning and runs around on his own as well. Before I got the wand toys, his favorites were tinfoil balls, and he'd bat those around for a long time, or until they disappeared under the furniture. Then it was time for me to start laying on the floor with a flashlight & lifting up furniture to rescue it. Once the wand toys were in the picture, the foil balls were old news and he hasn't played with them since.
Here's a short video of him jumping at the feather toy & a slightly longer one of him climbing into the loft via ladder & exiting via jumping.
