Other people bought
The Kong Cat Scratch Apple is the perfect present for your cat, combining the fun of a catnip ball with the corrugated texture cats love to scratch.
How it works
This apple-shaped toy is sure to impress even the fussiest of pets. The corrugated texture is good for sharpening claws and scratching. The round apple shape rolls easily, so you can toss it around the room for your cat to chase and pounce on. The hollow centre can be filled with catnip, which generally relaxes most cats and makes them feel more comfortable. The Kong Scratch Apple comes with a vial of Kong Premium North American Catnip so you can fill it up right away: just unscrew the top and pour it in.

When to use it
Cats need 10 to 15 minutes of play every day. This helps them to bond with you, practise their hunting skills and get enough exercise to prevent obesity. Catnip has a relaxing influence on most pets and the effects last for around ten minutes. After that, your cat probably won't react to catnip again for at least two hours. The potency of catnip doesn't last forever, as the oils dissolve over time. You can often keep any dried catnip that you don't use in the freezer to preserve it for later.
