Catnip Bats, Wands & Spooky Plush
Halloween cat toys lean into everything cats already like: small, light and easy to send flying across the room. Petco carries catnip filled pumpkins and bats, crinkle balls, wand toys with spooky attachments and plush mice in seasonal prints, for both cats and kittens.
What cats actually play with
Cats respond to toys they can bat, chase and carry, so lightweight is better than large. Catnip toys work well for cats who respond to it, though roughly a third of cats don't. Wand toys are best for interactive play and should be put away between sessions so the string isn't left unattended. Rotate a few toys rather than leaving them all out.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many do. Catnip filled pumpkins, bats and mice are common in seasonal ranges, and some toys include a refillable pouch. Keep in mind that roughly one in three cats doesn't respond to catnip, so a crinkle or wand toy may be a better choice for those cats.
-
Choose kitten sized toys without small detachable parts, bells or long strings that could be swallowed. Soft plush and lightweight balls work well. Wand toys are great for supervised play but should be stored away afterward so the string isn't accessible.
-
Set your cat up in a quiet room away from the front door with familiar toys, water and a litter box. The repeated doorbell and stream of visitors stresses many cats. A new toy or catnip toy can help redirect nervous energy while the evening plays out.
