Which cat toys do I need?

If there is a more playful animal in the world than a cat it has yet to be discovered.

Whether they are big, small, fluffy, Persian or simply a plain old house cat, your favourite feline is hardwired to be playful. Not only is it part of their natural hunting instincts, but it can also be attributed to their impressive feline intelligence and let’s forget it is one of the reasons that cats make such great pets.

To cater for this boundless (and potentially annoying) store of playful energy, there are various types of cat toys that range from bright and colourful, to covered in catnip.

For colourful cat toys take a look at the Hem and Boo Cat Pouncer. The bright mixture of colours combines with two jingly bells to keep your cat’s attention, as well as pom-poms and feathers. This kind of product is perfect for your cat’s natural desire to hunt and pounce.

Alternatively, for an absolute cat crowd pleaser you can’t go wrong with catnip. Made from natural ingredients, items such as the Jolly Moggy Catnip Fun Selection combine the pure, natural catnip with a tough hessian sack and two balls.

Or to give your pet something to really sink their teeth (and claws) into the Jolly Moggy Catnip Play Fish not only includes the unbeatable catnip, but also comes in an attractive fish design, with hessian and soft fur-like covering.
