Safety & Suitability:

FAQs:

Does it contain catnip? Yes — the yarn ball core is infused with KONG Premium North American Catnip to attract your cat and encourage active play.

What colours does this toy come in? This listing is for the Red & Purple colour combination.

Is it suitable for kittens? Yes — the lightweight construction and soft yarn loops make it easy for kittens to bat and pounce on. Kittens under approximately 6 months may not yet respond to catnip, but they can still enjoy the yarn texture and movement.

Is catnip safe for cats? Yes — catnip is non-toxic. The response is temporary and cats become briefly immune after a play session, regaining sensitivity after a rest period.

Can I wash it? Machine washing is not recommended as it can ruin the catnip and wash away the aromatic oils. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if needed and allow to air dry fully.
