Why wool?

Wool is a natural material that cats often respond well to. Sometimes the smell of synthetic material can deter a sensitive nose or a nervous disposition. The smell of clean wool often seems to have a comforting effect, & often initiates play instincts.

Warning: Never give balls of wool for kittens or cats to play with, never leave them laying around!

Animals can become dangerously entangled in lengths of any material, the toys described on this page are a safe alternative woolly toy.
