Cat Toys
A great range of cat toys, some filled with enticing catnip, whilst others are perfect for active playtime! Did you know the primary active component in catnip, nepetalactone, is thought to mimic a cat’s natural ‘happy’ pheromones? Catnip-infused toys are a perfect choice for Christmas, helping to keep your cat relaxed, happy and calm in what can often be a stressful time of the year for them.
Danish Design's Milo & Max are a duo of catnip-filled mice, complete with soft rope tails topped with a pom-pom to help keep your cats entertained for hours.
Midge the Mouse from Green & Wild's is a super-cute and, most importantly, durable mouse, perfect for your cat! A great toy for hunting and pouncing, this suede mouse is filled with natural jute fibres and is suitable for cats of all ages. Robust and fun, ideal for interactive play with your cat, which provides an outlet for their predatory instincts. Relieves boredom and provides exercise, whilst giving you the peace of mind that Green & Wild's toys are made without using any compound that would harm or be released when chewed.
For a rodent-free present (!), Green & Wild's adorable citrus duo Libby the Lemon and Sancho the Satsuma Eco Toys are the perfect gifts for a boisterous cat this Christmas! Both of these toys feature a tough suede outer, filled with natural jute fibres, with jute rope legs. Durable enough to withstand rougher play while still keeping their 'cute factor', Libby and Sancho are the ideal additions to your cat's Christmas toybox.
King Catnip products are designed to stimulate the senses and awaken a cat’s natural instincts.

North American catnip is also widely regarded as the world's best due to the location having the perfect climatic conditions for the plant, and King Catnip use only the potent leaf part of the plant, to ensure your cat gets maximum satisfaction from their toy. Their Christmas range, shown below, make the perfect festive gift for your cat this holiday season.
