Hiya, got two very playful cats that both love to play. However often one ends up watching the other play with X toy. So was wondering if there are any specific toys where cats are "meant" to btoh use it at the same time? If so that would be cool.

So far we've mostly stuck to these original/typical toys, as in, paper bags, mouse on a thread and simple balls with bells, etc.. Feel free to suggest cat toys you've had most success with, need something new for our ones. Anyone here tried these automatically moving balls - any good?

We have this catit ball track: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7TGNbWoYcaNnvpi8A

They push the balls back and forth between them, which is the only thing I have ever seen them do coop.

You may have to lower your expectations. I've never seen cats play together with a toy. It's always either taking turns or one watching the other. If one is too timid to play while the other is around, then you might have to play with them separately.

Toys with motors (moving ball, floppy fish, etc) have all scared my cats because of the noise.

They did like cork balls though. Something about the texture and weight. And tissue paper, cats love crinkly tissue paper.
