I was getting tired of constantly petting and playing with my kitty, who is seekinng a lot of attention recently. I bought her some new toys to play with, but my kitty doesn't seem to like them as well as I had hoped. Is it ok to return the toys I've bought for my kitty, if she has already tried them out. I still have the receipts?

Maybe kitty is tired from all the constant petting and playing. If you give kitty a rest for a day or two, she might be more accepting of the new toys.
Always keep your kitty well groomed.

Call the store that you purchased them at and ask what their return policy is. Personally, if she has already had them in her mouth, I'd prefer not to buy them for my cat.
However, the store may take the items back as a simple return and just not put them back out to display. Let the store return policy make your decision on this one.
Good luck!
Kitties often enjoy cat trees, even if they are just small ones. They also like to lay underneath and inside of things.... find a plastic milk carton and put a soft blanket in the bottom to see if the kitty will play in there.
One thing that I've seen cats go nuts over is a frisbee looking object, with ping pong balls or similar inside, that roll around and around. They put their paws inside and can manipulate the balls all over the place, and yet can't get the balls out. They don't seem bothered that they never get the balls out. They just appear to love the trying for them.
WalMart has some in stock at some of their stores just now. I'd imagine most larger pet store and pet supplies have them available also.
Good luck with finding a fun distraction for your little friend.

Most cats aren't very interested in marketed "cat" toys. If your kitten is playing with the other cats I wouldn't worry. They are probably much more fun than the cat toys. I've had several cats and the only "cat toy" any one of them has ever played with are those realistic fur mice. I have a kitten now that plays with pacifiers, bottle nipples, bottle caps, milk rings, a baby bouncer, and all of my 7 month olds toys, oh yeah and the baby. He chases the mom cat around constantly. Just dont waste your money on cat toys. Try the milk jug rings or maybe some foil balls. My old cat used to like matchbox cars. He would pull them around by a string.

Depends on the store. Usually once your cat has played with it even cleaning will not make them safe to give to another cat. Not saying your kitty is sick but the store doesn't know for sure so they will be taking a loss.

The pet store should take them back. Also, just a suggestion, my cat also refuses to play with cat toys, but he loves rolled up tin foil for some reason.

The more important question would be - why do you have this cat when you don't want to give her any attention? Please surrender her to a shelter so that someone who will love her and not get "tired of" giving her affection and attention can adopt her.
Let me guess - young teenager? Being fickle about pets and getting bored with them is VERY common - which is why the shelter I volunteer with doesn't adopt out to families where the child is the one wanting the pet - not the adults.

Yes you can. You really don't have to wash it just pull the hairs off first, then tell them that they didn't work properly or you would have a happy kitty.

For the sake of Jebus give kitty a rest already. You were playing with the kitty from 11 last night until now and some of us still have to work.

if you have the recipt and they are clean most likely they will take them back. if not.....sell them in a garage sale or give the kitty toys to a good will.

You've taught your kitty to play with you.
It's called socializing, and it was a good move.
Now you decide to abandon her when she has
come to expect the attention.
If you don't want the cat as youv'e trained her,
- find her a good home.
