  • 1.  Organizing cat toys (especially wand toys!)

    Does anyone have a great system to organize their cat toys - specifically wand toys, so they don't get tangled together? I would love to see your creative solutions to this! We have tried a couple options and unfortunately, it seems like we always end up with a tangled cluster of wand toys shoved in a drawer. 

    We keep our "regular" hard and soft cat toys in the drawers in the cat room. We currently (try to) keep the wand toys in our back storage room because they take up so much space. We currently have them in a box and try to put each individual wand toy in it's own toilet paper tube for storage.  I attached a photo of the "storage bin" next to what I pulled out of the drawer this morning (yikes!). I imagine having the wands in a different spot causes some confusion too!

    How do you store your wand toys for kitties?

    Good Morning,

    A cork board and thumb tacks :). They give each wand toy its own "hanger" space, so no more tangled mess.

    We have wand toys out for guests to use with the cats and they definitely can get tangled! We have a large plastic decorative vase that we use to store the wand toys and only put out a few at a time. We also like to have them drape over shelves so that they are out but not tangled.

    Try a hanging shoe organiser one with clear pockets that you can hang on a closet door works best

    We use an upright vase and wrap the ends around the wand part- if they aren't staying well, just secure with a little bit of tape!

    We use a top entry litterbox like this one to stick the ends of wand toys in. It works really well for us as a drying and storage rack. We also use tiny command hooks like the ones pictured attached to the inside of a storage cabinet that works well too.

    Horse whip holders work great for wands. https://www.bigdweb.com/whip-holder-molded-plastic?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD8TVMBQW4PoPlVaVz1-8RrD_4Sg3&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwO20BhCJARIsAAnTIVTFIhTB72MaT9uyvqYro0gWPMiZG9m-wz0u8URBuOuTdn2K0pluymYaAn62EALw_wcB
