Cat Toys

A bored cat will make their own fun, usually with your phone charger. These cat toys give them something better to chase.

From interactive toys that bring out their inner hunter to tunnels made for zooming through, there's plenty here to pounce on, kick to bits and tire out even the most dramatic indoor cat.

How to Choose Cat Toys

Pick toys that let your cat do what cats do best: stalk, chase, pounce and kick. Most cats love a mix, so start with a wand for playing together, a catnip kicker for solo wrestling and an interactive toy for when you're busy.

How much playtime does my cat need?

Most cats do well with two to three play sessions of 10 to 15 minutes a day, according to a vet writing for PetMD. Short and often works best, especially for indoor cats with energy to burn. A feather teaser wand is the easiest way to start.

Are laser toys good for cats?

Yes, as long as your cat gets to win. Chasing a dot they can never catch can get frustrating, so vets suggest ending the game with something they can grab. The Smart Laser & Feather Cat Toy has a feather built in for exactly that. Never shine a laser into your cat's eyes.

Do cats need toys they can play with alone?

They help, especially if you're out all day. Self-play toys like the Smart Rolling Cat Ball and the Cat Scratching Ball Tower keep paws busy until you're home. Swap toys in and out regularly so they stay interesting.

Cat Toy FAQs

Why doesn't my cat react to catnip?

Not every cat does, as RSPCA NSW points out. If yours shrugs it off, try a toy that moves instead, like a wand or a rolling ball.

What toys suit kittens?

Small, light toys they can bat, carry and pounce on. The Catnip Plush Mouse and the Wooden Cat Teaser Wand are both a good size for little paws. Supervise play with wands and strings.

How do I keep cat toys safe?

Check them now and then, and throw out any that are falling apart. Put wand toys away after playtime, so feathers and strings don't get chewed when you're not around.
