The scratching post is a staple for all cats. It’s a basic cat toy but it’s one that will provide your cat with hours of entertainment. Not only is it great for their physical condition, allowing them to exercise while keeping their claws in good shape but it’s also beneficial to their mental state as it helps relieve stress - but how stressed can a cat be in a run full of cat toys? When choosing a scratching post,  the taller the better, as it gives your cat a chance to scratch at full stretch.

Hidey hole tree

A hidey hole tree is the ideal addition to your cat run as it provides your cat with multiple levels of climbing space and jumping platforms allowing them to take full advantage of the vertical space their cat run gives them.

Hanging suspension toys

You don’t have to be a cat lover to know that cats love to play, pounce and chase anything that dangles in front of them.

Puzzle toys

Puzzle cat toys are a great way of keeping your kitty mentally stimulated and entertained when you’re not around. They also stimulate their natural behaviour of working for their food, you could intensify the progress by hiding the puzzle toys in different places around the run.
