The No-Fuzz Bag Trio: Black, Kraft & White

One bag per crew member. Fights over the good bag are not our problem.

Fancy "cat play bags" with fuzz, tunnels and a logo go for $20 and up. For about the same money, you get three big paper bags. Your cats will not notice the difference. Your cats will notice there are three.

• 3 bags, one each: Black, Kraft and White
• Each about 30 × 30 × 30 cm (12 in cube): room for a full-size cat
• Crinkly, sturdy paper. No fuzz. No tunnels. No nonsense

Crew rule: cut the handles off before your cat moves in. Handles and cat heads don't mix.

Pro move: line them up into a bag train, drop a pinch of catnip in the last one, and watch.

Always supervise play. Paper bags only, never plastic.
