norcalchick: I'd also suggest a laser pointer. Just be careful, but your kitten will run into walls at full speed if you let it!
Oh, and trim your kittens nails. Trimming nails takes practice and you don't want to hurt your kitten, so until you have a firm understanding where the kitten's quick is - just trim them when they are sharp, and just take off the tip. That way the kitten gets used having their nails cut! Oh, and you'll want to ensure you have a scratching post because nothing makes my cat want to scratch like dulled nails.
Hmm... but call your vet about cutting nails. I don't see an issue cutting a kitten's nails before a certain age - but I can't remember when we starts - and better safe than sorry!
eta: Ontopic - another con is that animasl learn. Like that if they miao at both owners at separately they might get fed twice! Or that a door stop makes a really cool sound when they play with it!
