If you’ve ever had a kitten, you know how difficult it is to deal with them when they’re going through the teething phase. This usually happens when the kitten is between one and six months old. And they’ll chew on anything they can get their hands on. This means that even your expensive throw cushion may be vulnerable to bitemarks. And, while you can try to stop them, you must understand that they are in pain and are uncomfortable.
So, the best way to deal with your teething kitten is to provide them with a variety of chew toys. They are typically made of rubber, foam, or latex and can be found in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. That is why we decided to review some of the most popular chewing toys on the market, which will undoubtedly assist you and your feline during this stressful time.
If you’re looking for an all-in-one toy, this could be just what you’re looking for. While it is on the smaller side, the mesh material on top ensured that our kitten’s teeth were healthy and removed any tartar or plaque while our kitten played with it. We also loved the bright colors and the various accessories that hung from it, and we’re sure our kitty enjoyed it as well.
During our testing, the toy remained in excellent condition with no signs of wear and tear. There appears to be catnip sewn into a few sides of the toy, which is always a plus. It was, however, a little too small for our liking. All in all, this is a great choice and you are also getting two toys which is always a good idea.
If you’re looking for a low-cost option, this could be it. While it has a very simple design, it gets the job done. And, rather than having catnip sewn into it, it has been infused with catnip oil, so it will undoubtedly smell wonderful to your feline. It is primarily made of soft rubber, which is an excellent material for ensuring that your kitty can bite on it as hard as they want.
While we weren’t fans of the simple design, and the rubber was already showing signs of wear and tear after our cat finished playing with it, it’s still a great toy to have. The streams tied to the side are also a nice touch, as our cat couldn’t get enough of them.
If you want to add something colorful and adorable to your cat’s toy collection, this is the toy for you. We loved the design, and because these toys were filled with catnip, our cat couldn’t get enough of them. They come in a set of five and are all very cute. They’re mostly made of a soft breathable fabric and filled with cotton.
And, while we like the design and overall aesthetic, it lacks any mesh that could aid in plaque removal, and the catnip cannot be replaced. When the catnip smell starts to fade, a catnip spray can do the job quickly. The sewing was flawless, and we noticed no wear and tear even after a long period of haphazard chewing and biting.
If your primary goal is to freshen your cat’s breath and remove plaque, this toy may be ideal for you. It not only resembles a colorful pretzel but it’s also covered in floss-like netting that will clean your cat’s teeth. While it is not a replacement for brushing one’s teeth, it is a good place to start. Not only that but it’s stuffed with catnip, so your cat will adore it.
The only thing we noticed was that our cat’s teeth occasionally got stuck in the netting, but it was easy to get her out of it, so just pay attention to your cat during playtime and everything will be fine. And, despite its size in the photos, it is a small toy.
Even though it is not the real thing, this adorable little mouse will stimulate your cat’s hunting instincts and keep them entertained around the house. It is made of a variety of materials, resulting in a variety of textures that your cat will enjoy. The large plastic ears make an excellent chew toy, and the mesh on the body easily removes plaque from your cat’s teeth.
Aside from the amusing design, it also has a long tail that our cat couldn’t get enough of and enjoyed playing with. The toy’s head is stuffed with cotton, so your cat can have fun even when not chewing on it. It comes with a catnip already embedded and is a fairly durable toy. Although, like the previous toy, it suffers from the same issue of your cat’s teeth becoming stuck in the netting.
This is a simple toy with no frills, which is sometimes exactly what we want. It comes in an adorable avocado shape, which we adore. It also contains catnip, so even if your cat isn’t a big fan of catnip, the subtle scent won’t bother them. It is also very reasonably priced, which is always a plus.
While it was smaller than we had anticipated, it is the ideal size for your kitty to carry around with her while exploring. It quickly became our cat’s favorite toy, and it’s easy to see why. While the catnip smell did fade after a while, it wasn’t a big deal because the mesh material provided our cat with texture to hold onto.
If you’re looking for something unique and colorful, this chew toy shaped like a banana will do the trick. The catnip infused in the toy is 100% organically grown, which is always a plus in our books. This toy also contains no plastic, making it environmentally friendly. It is made of safe fabric and does not contain any artificial coloring if you or your cat are allergic to that.
While the fabric gets dirty quickly, you can always hand wash it or throw it in the washing machine and it will look as good as new. This means that the catnip smell will fade over time, but you can always invest in catnip oil or spray to ensure that all of your toys always smell appealing to your cat.
There are numerous teething toys on the market, and the most important thing is that your kitty should be entertained by them. Toys that many other cats enjoy may not be suitable for your particular cat. Unfortunately, there is some trial and error involved. That is why we generally recommend purchasing a few toys and rotating them after a while to keep playtime interesting.
