Do your cats like to chew? Chew toys for Cats.

When I was a kid, we often got chew toys for our dogs to enjoy, but I had never given any thought about getting chew toys for our cats.

Then when our cat Sunny came in to our life, lo and behold, she liked to chew. I would hold a dog's little knobby bone out to her, and she would chew on it.

The next time I went to the pet store, I did find chew toys that were made for cats.

The pretzel chew toys are soft and are covered in a mesh, that is supposed to help keep the cat's teeth clean. Both cats loved chewing on these; but who knows where all they take them? Our cats enjoyed some chew time and then carried them off to find again later. So sometimes I have tied a couple of the chew toys up, from a door knob, so at least some of them can easily be found.

They always seem more enticing while the catnip scent is still fresh. I did throw a couple in the laundry and washed them, they came out looking nice, however, they will take a sprinkling of catnip to get the cats interested in them again. That does work out pretty well, but not as well as when they are fresh from the store.

This one is a circle shape with little bump outs around the outer edge. The little cloth tie ons seem appealing to our cats; These are also easy to throw and get the cat's attention, as it can roll and bounce.
