  1. Never use your hands or feet ✔
  2. Hands are the best toy
  3. Only use bare feet

Why: International Cat Care says never use your hands or feet to play with a kitten. Wand or fishing-rod toys keep some distance between you and the claws and teeth.

Huh, didn't know that: Even simple toys like ping pong balls can provide hours of fun and exercise.
