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.....)

If she was spayed recently it is possible she has a hormonal imbalance which leads her to seek her puppies and nursing behaviour - hormonal treatment can help. Providing active play options and a buddy dog can also help to settle her to her new routine and environment and may also help

Chewing on toys is a great activity for dogs to help them burn off energy, keep them occupied, and help keep them from chewing on other things in the house that are inappropriate for them to chew on. Dogs have individual preferences for the types of toys they chew on, so it may take a bit of experimenting to find out what Abby likes. Rope toys, soft toys and rubber chew toys are all good options. There are even puzzle toys where you can hide food and that will keep your pup busy trying to get the food out. Avoid any toys that are too hard- you should be able to easily dent the surface with a fingernail, as anything harder than that could lead to fracturing of the teeth. Avoid offering bones, antler, and similar objects for this reason. Always supervise play, and if you notice your dog trying to eat any pieces of the toys, take them away, as the pieces could cause a blockage of the intestines that could lead to the need for surgery to remove it.

It sounds like he has found a fun game to play with you and that is his new favorite playtime activity! While this may be frustrating for you, its possible he may just really like that particular play behavior. You could try some fixed hanging toys, such as this: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-toys/cat-teasers-and-wands/petpals-group-zippy-m-grey-springy-teasing-balls-toy https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-toys/cat-teasers-and-wands/petpals-group-vortex-m-grey-ring-teasing-balls-toy https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/cat/cat-toys/cat-scratcher-toys/you-and-me-sisal-cat-scratch-post As for why he is acting that way and not letting go, I suspect it is truly just that he thinks its a very stimulating, fun thing to do.

Hi there. Sugar sounds like a very sweet girl. It seems to me that she really does like her banana toy. As long as she isn't guarding her toy or acting possessive - i.e. growling or snarling when someone tries to take the toy, or becoming aggressive when someone approaches - I think that is fine that she's found a toy that she likes. Just make sure too that she doesn't chew it into pieces and swallow the pieces. I'd pay close attention to her when the baby is nearby to make sure she doesn't act aggressive if the baby crawls toward her, etc. Introduce them slowly. Dogs will definitely get jealous and feel left out with babies around because they do get less attention. Some things to try to make Sugar feel content and happy are Kong toys, or other treat dispensing toys, like a pickle pocket. She can be safely gated in her own area of the house where no one can bother when the baby comes to visit and get a special treat or just one of her meals this way. The treat dispensing toys will als
