Cat Toys Bat and Swat

Bat&Swat toys are non-interactive. That is, there isn't usually a person on the other end of it. These include balls, catnip filled toys and lots of strange plastic thing-a-ma-jigs and thing-a-ma-bobs.

If your cat isn't an eater of odd things (this is sometimes due to illness but is often a behavioral problem) then having a large number of bat & swat toys around is great. Since each cat is an individual, you may have to try a number of toys before you find the ones he'll play with. Also, he may play with something one day and then refuse to look at it for weeks thereafter.

With all bat & swat toys, try showing your cat what it's used for. Juggle it, toss it, crinkle it, flick it, etc. in front of him. This will help differentiate a cat toy from a non cat toy. That is, that handmade curtain tassel is NOT a cat toy but this little ball IS. Otherwise, everything on or near the floor may be fair game for future cat play!

Cats generally like things that are lightweight, shiny, make delicate noises and are easy to push around. They also need variety so it's best to rotate toys several times a week. You can put the unused toys in an inaccessible closest or drawer. Even the best toys wear out with use so toss them away when they become dirty or damaged in any way. Bat & swat toys are made to supplement your interactive toy selection but won't take their place entirely. All cats need a few minutes a day of interactive play. The rest of the day they'll just watch what you're doing for entertainment.

Comets
$0.35
10414
These terrific 1" acrylic and mylar balls glitter and shine. They're featherweight and come in brilliant colors. Cats love them because they're attracted to the soft shimmer. We're convinced that people like them just because they're beautiful and festive.

This is a great toy for all cats because it's soft, small and enticing. It's a great inexpensive gift for a cat-loving friend. We like having several of them around the house and office because one or the other keeps getting stuck underneath a desk or couch. Our cats don't eat them so make sure yours won't either before you leave it out unsupervised!

Assorted colors or choose your favorites. Order as few or as many as you like!

CometTails

10462
Our cats loved Comets so much that we added a short length of polyester ribbon. Some people are convinced that the ribbon represent "whiskers" and "tails" because they get picked up and tossed overhead. In that case, these are the glitziest mice your cat has met!

CometCaterpillar
$2.20
Does your cat want bigger Comets? The Caterpillar is a string of 4 mylar and acrylic Comets and colorful polyester ribbon. It has a beautiful and delicate shimmer that will delight your cat. It comes in assorted Comet and ribbon color combinations.
Approximately 5" long

Scooters DoubleStuffed
$1.79
10325
They're tightly-folded, hand-fluffed non-toxic mylar balls in riveting metallic colors. No one makes these crunchy, fast-moving balls like we do! Other products may look like Scooters but they're limp and uninteresting or hard and rough. Ours are two-toned, waterproof and very durable. They're fun to bat around and they're easy to fluff again if someone accidentally squashes one.
NEW & IMPROVED! --- much bigger than before: Approximately 3" diameter.
