He looks beautiful. Most cats love crumpled paper balls! But you can try the fuzzy mice that are available from a pet store or get one of the angling toys (a stick with an attached string and a fetherball at the end). You can also make a feather toy for him by gathering a lot of feathers, tying them together and throwing it. Anotehr great toy is a ball into which you can put dry food. The ball has a few holes and as he plays with it the food falls out. once he figures out how it works, it is a great toy. (But my cats still like the small crumpled paper balls best.....)

A complete physical exam and lab work may diagnose any underlying medical condition or nutritional deficiency. If she is eating a good quality can or dry food, she is likely getting enough nutrients. Pet-tabs FF (Feline Formula) or Pet-Tabs Daily Vitamin-Mineral Supplement for Cats are options for vitamins. You can buy either from your veterinarian, online or in the local Petco. Increase playtime if possible and incorporate "automatic" toys as well as a variety of toys to keep her engaged. Correct any nipping immediately. If she stops, praise her. If she persists, stop all interaction and ignore her until she settles down. This may mean leaving the room or placing her in a different room. A pheromone product, such as Feliway Spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression.

There are a lot of toys that cats love that you can make at home: some cats will chase a crumpled ball of paper or a pom pom, you can tie a few feathers to a stick with some string, or you can put some crinkly plastic in something like a sock. Be sure that the toys are for supervised play only. Here is a link to some ideas: https://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/2014/03/the-10-best-homemade-cat-toys/

Boxer is a cute name for a cat! Some kitties could play with a crumpled piece of paper for hours while others need more interaction or a more complicated toy to be entertained. You might try using the toys to interact with her by throwing them downstairs or into an area where she has to hunt for them to increase her interest in them. Catnip can also be sprinkled on her toys to give her added enrichment.

There are plastic toys that are long/string like that may be a little more robust for Chevy to play with. Laser pointers may also simulate something on a string that he can safely chase. If he does like things with string on them, I would just make sure to monitor him while playing to ensure he doesn't eat any string and so you can discard the toy if he chews a piece off.
