Cat toys

Cat toys at a range of prices

A good cat toy mimics prey: it moves, it runs away, it makes a noise or it lets itself be caught. This selection brings together mice and plush toys, balls, feather wands, electric toys that move on their own, and toys to fix in place or set down. To choose well, start from how your cat plays: alone, with you, or hunting for treats.

Mice and plush toys to catch

Mice are still the simplest toy for waking up the hunting instinct:

• the plush mouse with bell, light and soft;
• the spring mouse with suction cup, mounted on a spring, with a bell;
• the pack of plush mice, from 1 to 4 pieces;
• the rechargeable interactive mouse, which changes direction on its own thanks to its motion sensors;
• for biting and chewing: the plush caterpillar, leek stick or squirrel.

Balls and electric toys

A ball rolls, bounces and keeps the game going without you. Electric balls move on their own, handy when your cat is alone for part of the day:

• the wool ball, colourful and soft;
• the scratch ball with sound, 8 cm across;
• the plush ball with animal sounds, which mimics birds, crickets or frogs;
• the automatic silicone ball, USB-rechargeable and light-up;
• the automatic laser toy, battery or USB powered, with unpredictable movements;
• the set of rolling toys, with 9 or 18 plastic toys to roll all over the place.

Feather wands: a game for two

The feather wand, also called a cat fishing rod, is used by hand: you make the prey fly, your cat chases it and jumps. It's the game that builds the strongest bond between you:

• the rainbow ribbon wand, no batteries needed, in small or large;
• the flexible feather wand with snake;
• the double-rod wand with birds, with two realistic birds.

After play, put the wand away out of reach: never leave the string alone with a kitten.

Toys to set down, fix in place and fill

• the three-level play tower, with colourful balls;
• the wavy window toy, with suction cups and rolling balls;
• the play box with 3 balls;
• the foldable rainbow play tunnel, fitted with toys, for hiding and running;
• the treat-dispensing ball, which rewards play.

Catnip toys

Catnip attracts lots of cats, but not all of them. The catnip toy cushion, in plush, is for playing and scratching; the catnip wall treat sticks to the wall.

Which cat toy should you choose?

• Kitten: light mice, wool balls, a feather wand – always with you there.
• Cat alone during the day: automatic ball, rechargeable mouse, laser or window toy.
• Food-loving cat: a treat-dispensing ball or toy.
• Fast, playful cat: tunnel, ball tower, set of rolling toys.

Mix things up: a cat quickly gets bored of the same object. Rotate two or three toys a week rather than leaving them all on the floor.

FAQ

How do you make a cat toy?

A ball of scrunched-up paper, a box with holes cut in it or a knotted sock make real cat toys. Avoid small parts that can be swallowed and strings left unsupervised. To go further, read about anti-boredom cat toys that really work.

What game for a bored cat?

Hunting games with you are still the most effective: a few minutes with a feather wand, twice a day. Between sessions, a toy that moves on its own or a treat ball takes over. See also our range: anti-boredom cat toys.

What's the best toy to stimulate a cat?

One that mimics prey and that your cat can catch at the end. Interactive toys that move, make sounds or hide a reward hold their attention longer than a still object.
