You might think there's no connection between the stars in the sky and the furry creature purring on your lap. But the same celestial forces that influence your life also affect your cat. If you learn about your cat's zodiac sign, you'll get a glimpse into its inner world and motivations. Is your confident kitty always the center of attention? You might be living with a Leo. Does your cat know how to turn "meow" into a full sentence? That makes sense if you're caring for a talkative Gemini.

Your cat's zodiac sign is determined by its birthday. If you don't know when that is, look at the day you adopted your pet. You may even be able to guess your cat's sign just by observing its behavior. When you're sure about your cat's astral background, you can turn your house into a perfectly tailored cat haven. You don't have to pick generic toys that you think your cat will enjoy. You can find toys that match their zodiac personality. Your cat will have a blast playing with their new toys, and you'll feel like a champion pet parent.

The zodiac starts with Aries, whose reign runs from March 21 to April 19. Spunky Aries cats live for rambunctious play and endless fun. They are not cats who are content to sit on your lap making biscuits all day. True Aries cats need the zest of adventure, even if their exploration only leads to the new shoes in your closet. When you want to find the perfect toy for these energetic kitties, look at interactive and exciting options.

The Tower of Tracks by Catstages is a three-level, interactive game with six colorful, spinning balls on circular tracks. Your furry friend can bat and swat at the balls in an attempt to get them free. Of course, the balls are attached to the tower, so they're the perfect objects to hunt. They can't get lost and are always available. Cats can play with the Tower of Tracks for days without getting bored. One Amazon reviewer said their kitten is "obsessed with this toy." Yet another reviewer bought the tower for her 12 year old cat, Rue, saying, "This is the best toy I've ever purchased for a cat."

If your cat was born between April 20 and May 20, you have a tiny Taurus in your home. Unlike romping Aries, Taurus is known for being calm and grounded. That doesn't mean your Taurus cat will never play with you. You'll still find your pet running around like a maniac occasionally. However, the bouts of high-energy play may be short-lived. Cats ruled by this sign are happiest when they're lounging on your lap or curled up in the comfiest spot in your home.

When you want to spoil your furry, meowing Taurus, choose a toy like the Chew Rope from Potaroma. It's a thick and flexible cotton rope with an attached piece of gallfruit. Gallfruit comes from the silvervine plant and has a euphoric effect on cats. With the Chew Rope, a peace-loving Taurus cat can play while lounging. There's no need to get up or move around to enjoy this toy. Pet parents on Amazon said the Chew Rope is well-made and can withstand a lot of use, making it especially perfect for furry feline Tauruses in multi-cat households.

The Gemini spirit is ruled by Mercury, the planet that symbolizes communication and deep thinking. Four-legged Geminis, who are born between May 21 and June 20, show their smarts by easily learning new tricks and being highly adaptable. Their communication skills are even more impressive. These vocal cats are constantly meowing, chirping, or chattering. Their perfect toy is just as noisy. A cat owner posting on the r/Astrologymemes Reddit board described their Gemini male as "the loudest, most annoying, but cutest cat ever." You can please your Gemini cat with Potaroma's Squeak Mice. The plush mice come in packs of three and make lifelike noises during playtime.

Most Geminis love to be with their people, so they'll have more fun playing with you than being on their own. You can toss the mice for your cat to catch, or even just stay close while the cat pounces. When you're not around, the mice are small enough for your cat to easily bat and toss with their teeth. The game won't be as exciting, but your cat certainly won't be bored. And because the mice are soft and plump, they make perfect cuddly toys, too.

The Cancer cat is a gentle soul with a summertime birthdate that falls between June 21 and July 22. Anyone who believes the myth that cats are aloof, solitary creatures may change their mind if they meet an adoring Cancer kitty. These loving felines find happiness next to their people. If you're home, your Cancer cat wants to be on your lap getting its head scratched. Playing with the colorful cat toy balls from Retro Shaw is the next best thing.

Each toy ball is a fuzzy bit of yarn covering a small bell. Amazon notes that purchasers tend to stick with these toys as returns are low. That's likely because cats enjoy clawing the soft yarn and hearing the tinkle of the bell when the ball moves. Reviewers say their cats adore the yarn balls so much that they've been caught sleeping on them. That could be because Cancer cats some of the zodiac's biggest cuddlers. Knowing your cat might play with these toys all the time might make you a little hesitant because of the bell. However, one reviewer called the soft jingle "pleasant" and another said it's a "smooth" sound.

When you have friends over, does your cat greet them with its tail held high? That's a sign your fur baby might ve a Leo. Cats who were born under this sign have birthdates ranging from July 23 to August 22. Precise knowledge is always helpful, but Leos are so vivacious and charming that you may not even need to check the dates. These confident felines are not afraid to charge around the room and make their presence known, so a toy that encourages them to run could be exactly what they need.

YVE LIFE's laser toy allows your cat be as energetic as they want, and you barely have to lift a finger. The laser is motion-activated and runs on batteries. Watching your radiant Leo tap into its hunting instinct can be incredibly satisfying, but you can also sleep or work while the cat plays without dampening its fun. Don't worry about your pet getting bored with a predictable machine. YVE LIFE advertises that the laser follows a random trajectory. Each game will be different. You can also adjust the laser head's angle to point toward the floor or ceiling.

Many people think their cats are smart, but those with cats who have birthdays between August 23 and September 22 might really be on to something. Those dates correspond to Virgo, a sign that embodies organization and analytical thinking. In cats, this ordered mind can turn them into escape artists who know how to open doors. They also appreciate puzzle toys. The Catstages Nina Ottosson Buggin' Out Puzzle & Play can engage even the most reserved Virgo cat. This treat puzzle has more than a dozen secret compartments, giving your cat plenty of stimulation.

The Buggin' Out Puzzle & Play provides entertainment for you, as well, because you'll get to watch as your smart kitty figures out the puzzle. You can also set it up and walk away, which means your cat can discover treats even when you're busy. Multiple Amazon reviewers noted that their cats like to come back to the puzzle over and over again throughout the day. There are multiple difficulty levels, so it's easy to match the challenge to your pet's ability.

Joyful, likeable Libras are the world's peacemakers. They get along with everyone and have a gentle, calming presence. A cat owner posting in r/Astrologymemes said their little Libra "loves attention of all kinds" and is always friendly. Another owner highlighted a different aspect of the Libra spirit, sharing that their cat thrives in clean and visually pleasing surroundings. Libra cats, who were born between September 23 and October 22, are enchantingly sweet and simple-hearted, yet their tastes are refined.

You can appeal to all sides of your Libra kitty's personality with the 2-In-1 Interactive Hide-and-Seek Game by FEELNEEDY. The toy looks like a giant lily pad with a mechanized feather moving underneath. Your cat's social side will be pleased because multiple cats can play this game at once. Their sense of refinement will be appeased, too, as Amazon reviews say the lily pad is well-made and features a great design. Some report that their cats tried to catch the mouse for hours. The game relies on their hunting instincts, so it's very energetic. But your cat doesn't need to be young and sprightly, as there are three different levels of play.

If you've ever heard that cats are aloof, Scorpio kitties are the reason why. They're fun and devoted companions, but they tend to appreciate their alone time. A Scorpio cat might sidle into your room for a cuddle session before hanging out in their favorite spot in the corner. Their obvious independence and self-confidence mean they're sometimes labeled as intense cats. However, the only thing that's truly intense about these charmers is their focus when it's time to eat. That's why they don't need a flashy, expensive toy.

Scorpios can appreciate the classic appeal of Potorama's Cat Toy Pillow. It's perfect for solo moments and family fun. Cats can pounce on the big, fluffy shape when they're in the mood to hunt and lay their heads on the soft texture when they want to rest. The pillow is stuffed with organic catnip, so it has an intoxicating scent that'll grab your cat's attention over and over again. If you need an excuse to lavish more toys on your cat, check the calendar. Scorpio birthdays fall between October 23 and November 22.

From unexplored terrain in the backyard to new shopping bags in the kitchen, everything is an adventure for a courageous Sagittarius cat. These are the cats who might befriend the delivery person or be happy to go for a walk. Born between November 23 and December 21, Sagittarius cats have late fall birthdays and fiery personalities. Your bright Sagittarius likely needs more mental stimulation than the average cat, so the usual toy might not hold their interest long. Try the Cat Tunnel by Tempcore instead.

This toy is actually three large connecting tunnels, giving your kitty ample room to play. Kittens will have the most space but older cats can have fun, too. Multiple glowing Amazon reviews mention that their large adult cats love playing inside the tunnel even though their tails might stick out. There are even reports of large cats hanging out inside the tunnel all day. This tunnel is especially ideal for Sagittarius cats because it can be as collaborative as you make it. Your cat can play entirely on its own, with another furry friend, or with you. Try dangling toys outside one of the tunnel openings for additional excitement.

Born between December 22 and January 19, Capricorns are quiet, hardworking souls under the sway of Saturn. Your friends and family may never see your Capricorn cat's charm because these shy felines often hide when strangers are around. They know who their people are, and don't need any more friends. All of your cat's affection will be saved up for its family. Capricorns are not pure lap cats, however. They like to have something to do, even if it's just looking out the window. There are many cat toys that will please Capricorns, but MUCAOL's Interactive Puzzle Box is one of the best.

Unlike many cat puzzles, this one has nothing to do with treats. It's a purely mental game that exercises your cat's intelligence and attention span. The box holds multiple small, colorful balls, but cats can't play with them until they figure out how to get them out. Amazon reviewers say the box is well-made, requires no assembly, and is a hit with cats. Your furry Capricorn can concentrate on the puzzle while you're busy and never has to feel bored. You can keep the puzzle interesting forever by occasionally switching out the balls and sprinkling a bit of catnip inside the box.

Never expect an Aquarius to play by the rules. Spunky, outgoing, and wildly affectionate, these cats will be your best friends, but that doesn't mean they'll always come when you call. Aquarius cats like to go their own way, although they will still end up right next to you. Playtime can be invigorating for both of you. Your cat gets the thrill of bouncing around the house, while you get to observe their joy.

If you want a reliable game you can play, order the Retractable Wand Toy from MeoHui — one of the most iconic toys on this list. Every cat owner recognizes this image: a cat dancing after a feather on a string. Most cats adore wand toys, yet there's something special about an Aquarius playing with one of these toys. Playing with the wand is an inherently social activity. Your cat can pick up the feather on its own, but it won't have nearly as much fun as when you're wielding the stick. Your Aquarius can satisfy its social urges with this game, too. Plus, wand toys let your cat express its individual hunting style. Aquarius birthdays fall between January 20 and February 19 and a wand toy would be the perfect gift (hint, hint).

Sweet, dreamy Pisces cats are born between February 20 and March 20. This sign is linked to strong emotions and an empathetic nature. Your cat can't tell you about its deepest feelings or write in a diary like your other Pisces friends, but Pisces cats can reveal their tenderness by being extra cuddly and sensitive. If you're having a tough day, you might feel your cat's little head bunting your legs. You may want to shower them with affection in return, but you cannot spend every second with your cat. What you can do is purchase the Catnip Banana by Yeowww!

A Pisces cat needs something that it can cuddle all day. The banana is the perfect size and shape. Your cat can use it like a large pillow or treat it like something to hunt. Pet parents on Amazon marvel at how much their cats enjoy kicking the banana with their hind legs, while some cats prefer tossing the banana into the air.

We chose the toys on this list based on zodiac personality traits and Amazon ratings. First, we identified the most important traits for every sign and considered how those traits would present in a cat. What would Leo confidence look like in a four-legged creature? How would Virgo's analytical tendencies manifest? When we had a detailed profile for each zodiac sign, we found cat toys that aligned with each one's personality type.

Our vetting process for the toys used Amazon reviews and ratings. We took a holistic view, looking at factors, including the total number of reviews and review highlights. We skipped toys that had high ratings but few written reviews, focusing instead on those that pet parents were willing to talk about. Every toy we chose has at least a 4.0 rating and 100 verified reviews. Some of the toys have thousands of positive reviews and are among the most popular cat products available on Amazon.
