A mouse the size of a walnut gets batted twice and loses. What an indoor cat actually wants is something roughly its own size to wrap its front legs around and kick with its back ones — the move a cat uses on real prey — and that needs a toy with some bulk to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crinkle paper inside is doing more work than it looks. The rustle is close enough to something moving in undergrowth that it holds a cat's attention far longer than a silent toy, and it keeps rewarding them every time they pounce on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, when the session is over, it is a pillow. A lot of cats end up asleep on the thing they were fighting ten minutes earlier, which is why these get kept rather than lost under the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne correction to the supplier's listing: it is described as chew-resistant, and it is not. It is a plush toy. A cat that chews rather than kicks will get into it, and once the crinkle paper or stuffing is exposed it needs binning, because that is the part that causes real problems if swallowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge enough to grab and back-leg kick properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrinkle paper inside that rustles when pounced on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatnip filled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft enough to double as a pillow afterwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo batteries, nothing to charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood for kittens through to adult cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:20px 0;border:1px solid #E6DAC7;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#2A3A2A;padding:14px 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#D9B48C;\"\u003ePawbrio product guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#FAF6EF;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;table-layout:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#F1E7D8;color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003ePlush kicker pillow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eFilling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eCatnip and crinkle paper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eFish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eCrinkle, no squeaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eBatteries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eNone needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eChew resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:14px 18px;background:#FAF6EF;border-top:1px solid #E6DAC7;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003eGetting the best from it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drag it away from your cat rather than waving it at them — prey runs away, and that is what triggers the chase.

Brush off hair, and store it in a sealed tub between sessions to keep the catnip strong.
