Try a ticking clock near a stationary play area...I saw a terrific cat tower in the classified ( Panjo) on this site. The cat will know where it is located by the ticking. This method could also be used for finding the litter box. Use diifferant " ticking sounds " for each area.

Anything to which you can add the scent of catnip.
Smear it on any toy you are able to do that to.

Cats have very keen sense of smell and hearing. Any toy filled with cat nip, such as a large sock or large kicker toy would work. You can be creative and make your own or buy something at a cat show/shelter/rescue sale. Also, a toy that makes some kind of sound would be a good choice as the cat would be able to track it.

Hope this helps!

I got a cat toy at Walmart that my two cats love! It has a mouse at the end of a string that is connected to a plastic stick. The mouse makes a sqweaking noise and the eyes blinks. My cats come running when they hear that sqweak -- even when they are in the garage or in another floor in our house. When I can't find Kaylee, I get that toy and know she will come running when she hears it. (Kaylee is affectionately known as a tornado on 4 legs!) I can't remember the name of the toy but it cost around $8. My cats have many toys but that is their favorite. I like to buy them homemade catnip toys as the catnip is stronger. We also have a catnip plant in our rock garden.

We have 3 cat trees and they love them too!
