Most cats, whether kittens or adults, like to play. Providing your cat with some toys can therefore be a good idea to keep it interested and give it something enjoyable to do. There are a wide variety of toys available for cats, although catnip cat toys can be a good choice to make.
Catnip is a type of plant that is known to give many cats’ enjoyment when they smell the scent. Cats can be affected by the plant either when it is growing or when it is harvested and dried. Many cats in the presence of catnip will exhibit behavior such as trying to eat the plant, rub against it and roll in it. While catnip is generally available for purchase on its own, buying a toy that is stuffed with catnip or has its scent can add to the enjoyment for a cat.
There are a number of catnip cat toys on the market and these can provide your pet with a lot of enjoyment. Catnip ball toys are an example of this and a cat can have fun and get a little exercise knocking these around and chasing them. The Aromatherapy Catnip Yarn Balls from the web retailer Cat Toys is an example of this. These are small hand knitted balls that are filled with organic catnip and cost $4 for 1 or $7.50 for 2. Cat Toys also has the Dr Noys Tennis Ball Mouse available for $5. This has a tennis ball body with bells inside and the head of the mouse is filled with catnip. It can easily be thrown around for your cat to play with and the bells and the catnip will make sure it will enjoy the experience.
Another internet retailer that has catnip cat toys available is Our Happy Cat. They have stuffed toys available that are manufactured by Dr Noys and are specifically made with a pouch in which catnip can be placed. This ensures that the catnip will always be fresh for your cat to enjoy and the stuffed toys come in the shape of squirrels, frogs and teddy bears. Our Happy Cat also has sample tins of catnip available which include a few different varieties such that you can try each to find out which your cat likes best.
If you prefer shopping in-store there are a few outlets that have catnip cat toys available for sale. Walmart, for example, has the Ethical Pet All Natural Pillow with Catnip available. This cat toy retails for only $3.50 and is a toy in the shape of a pillow which has rope tails and catnip. Other retailers that have cat toys with catnip available include Target which has the Smart Kat Cat Toy Mouse available. This can be filled with catnip and can be refilled to keep it fresh. Most pet stores will also have a selection of cat toys with catnip on offer and a local pet retailer can be a good place to check out.
Catnip cat toys can be an ideal treat for your pet. Most cats like to have toys to play with and having them filled with catnip or infused with the scent will only add to their enjoyment. They can therefore be a good choice of toy for your cat and should give them many hours of fun and exercise.
