My dog has lots of toys.
Since I have to work she is often by herself. I have a lot of toys for her because I rotate them often.
I have some in her toy box and some in a box in my closet. When it is time for me to rotate her toys I let her help me pick out the ones she wants in her toy box for a month.
Sometimes she will grab something out of my closet box like “Where have you been I have missed you!” Sometimes she even think she has new toys. LIL

Yes, that's a good reminder. I recently read that same advice for kittens and cats. Although I still haven't done it, I should. Thank you. Deb

I don't have to intentionally rotate toys.  My little 'angels' have a tendency to bat their small stuffies under the living room furniture so every time I move the heavy furniture to vacumm under it; they think they've got new toys!!  Cats are so easily fooled!!  ;D |

LOL, Kathy!
We stopped by the petstore today to get snakefood and dog collars, and I couldn't resist a fancy wand cat toy for Margaret and Marc and a squeaky fuzzy trout for Ira (hey, this is Minnesota - every boy should have a fish to play with here). Now, Ira has a ton of toys and I should rotate them but don't. The cats, on the other hand, only have two toys, plus everything else in this room that's not nailed down (humph!!) No need to rotate "their" stuff!

Vera, maybe your kitties are thinking "We've got to rotate Vera's stuff" |

LOL! Yeah, maybe that's what they think... they do a thorough job of it too!

Actually, when my little Kitty Cat gets bored with her toys, she miraculously finds, or I give her something odd to play with. One day, it might be a small rock off the bottom of my boot that she finds and bats in from the back porch onto the kitchen floor...The next day, a small piece of wadded scrap paper, a little empty ibuprophen bottle with a rattly lid...The string dangling on the hood of my zipper sweatshirt...The empty toilet paper roll. I plain quit buying any more cat toys. She is easily amused. But when company is coming... I run around real fast...Deb  |
