My cats are dumb, and either ignore the toys I get, or they're afraid of the toys I get. I once blew bubbles, and the one cat tore off with her tail fluffed out and hid under my bed for an hour. My cats are weirdos.
My step-mothers cat however, loves toys. But not store bought toys, oh no. He'll only play with "trash". He likes playing with q-tips, the plastic ring off of water bottles, used tissue paper, little paper balls, and used string. He'll go for the laser occasionally, but only if it's pointed at a wall that he can jump up. He won't chase it all.
I used to have a cat that loved these fluffy ball toys, and would carry them around the house in his mouth. This cat also would only play with jingle balls in the middle of the night. Nothing like trying to sleep only to be woke up by hearing loud jingling noises and thumping. (My friend, while being a bit plastered, asked me if the cat was "murdering fairies" when she heard the jingling and thumping. I've never giggled so hard in my life.)
