So what one cat will be fine with, another may destroy and eat. You know your cat best. Talk to your vet about the toys that would be appropriate for your cat. Always introduce a new toy to your cat when you are going to be there. That way if anything goes wrong, you are there to see it. If you notice your cat trying to get off some wiggly eyes or something, remove them. Adapting the toy can provide a safe solution. Finally, make sure you regularly inspect your cat&#8217;s toys. You want to remove any that are damaged, to help keep your cat safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I clean my cat&#8217;s toys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cat toys can get grungy. It&#8217;s a good idea to clean them if possible. Hard plastic toys can be wiped clean. You can wash some plush toys in the washing machine, though it&#8217;s best to air dry them instead of using the dryer. Many toys are inexpensive enough that you can replace them when they start to look gross. This is a good solution for toys you can&#8217;t easily clean, such as those filled with catnip. The catnip can get wet during the cleaning process, and begin to grow mold. You don&#8217;t want that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do cats react to catnip?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t a &#8220;standard&#8221; response to catnip. Some cats feel the effects of this plant, and others don&#8217;t appear to. You may notice your cat seems to go crazy after playing with a catnip toy. It can provide an energy burst. Other cats have the opposite reaction, and get calm after catnip. You will have to see what your cat does with catnip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petstages Catnip &amp; Dental Health Cat Toys Is your cat a chewer?
