Catnip Toys

Catnip Toys

While treats are a great way to reward your feline, giving them some catnip here and there can enhance the fun. As cats smell and consume it, they achieve a type of short-term euphoria, filling them with energy and a need to take it out on their toys and exercise. After some time, companions will enter a state of calming, meaning it can also decrease anxiety or feelings of stress.

To really get their attention, consider catnip toys, which are made with the substance or have designated areas to stuff it in. If you’re searching for new toys to add to their collection, consider your choices at Tractor Supply.

Unleash Bursts of Energy or Promote Relaxation

Catnip is made with a blend of herbs and essential oils from the mint family, which has a special effect on our felines. It encourages mental stimulation, as well as physical activity as they roll around, meow and rub their faces against it. Some may even enjoy snacking on catnip, as it’s dry, leafy texture is usually a hit with cats. This type of treat can also be used for training, teaching cats which objects are okay for them to play with.

Durable Materials for Rough Play

Catnip can make our furry friends go crazy for their toys &mdadsh; so it can benefit to purchase them in strong, resistant materials. Polyester is an ideal choice, feeling gentle on their small teeth while also standing up to their bites and claws. Plastic can withstand damage and impact and is also easy to wipe down at the end of their session. If you need something softer for your kitty’s growing mouth, opt for plush materials.

Enticing Toy Features

Their toys might come with a few special features to promote play and exercise more, even with the added catnip. Treat-dispensing options can be filled with catnip or their favorite snacks to get them to swat and pounce, giving them beneficial exercise in the process. We also carry designs with feathers and crinkly capabilities, catering to all their senses as they release their energy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Catnip Toys

Can I give pets catnip toys regularly?

It’s generally recommended to allow your felines to play with catnip toys about one to two times per week. Limiting their use helps your cats to resist building up a tolerance to the effects of catnip.

Do all cats react to catnip?

Not all cats will be attracted to catnip. In fact, some might not be impacted at all, even after rolling around in it or playing with an infused toy. This is because certain breeds are genetically resistant to the effects. Others might have sensitivities or simply won’t be interested.
