Great news! About to adopt a new cat!! Super excited and can't get to get her (pictures to come). Although I want to prepare the house with some toys and stuff for the cat to play with and enjoy. What has worked well for you? Any toys in particular? Cat trees worth it? Hit me with your best recommendations! 😻

Cat tree is a must to give the cat a place to scratch without damaging your furniture.

I found that little mice work best as toys for a young cat, he can entertain himself with them but over time lose interest. Toys on strings work universally well, and let you interact with the cat.

It may be a good idea to install some shelves so your cat isn't limited to floor and furniture, and can explore your home vertically as well.

Noted! Not able to install any shelves quite yet, as I am renting, but will definitely do this as soon as I get my own place. Always loved pics and vids of people who install loads of these wall mounted furniture for cats.
