Catnip (also known as cat balm) is aptly named: the plant has an almost seductive effect on most velvet paws. Whether outdoor or indoor cats, whether confronted with the flowering plant or dried plant parts: Cats are magically attracted to the scent of catnip. Thanks to this attraction, cat toys are often filled with catnip - a simple small cushion is enough to encourage cats to play and keep them busy.

To provide your furry friend with natural and completely plastic-free entertainment, these catnip cushions from the Rhineland-based manufacturer are made entirely from natural materials: Hand-felted from pure mountain sheep's wool from the Austrian region of Dachstein and filled with dried real catnip, they offer your house cat the pleasant softness of wool felt and that intense, irresistible mint scent. Incidentally, cats have a habit of not only hunting down such catnip cushions with a bunny kick, but also licking them extensively and soaking them in the process. It is therefore best to leave the cushion to dry after the game and knead it now and again so that it can spread its beguiling scent for longer.

Independent and dignified the one, affectionate and cuddly the other: Of course, cats are also very different in nature. But they all have one thing in common: they are hunters. Even the gentlest house cat cannot deny the heritage of its ancestors and instantly turns into a merciless predator when a fly buzzes by, a bug crawls over the wall or - just like that. If you have ever seen your cat suddenly dash through your house, apartment or garden as if stung by a tarantula for no apparent reason, you know what we are talking about. Cats have an irrepressible energy, which they like to release by playing and romping around. Above all, however, all cats, from the clumsy kitten to the set grand seigneur, need the playful movement to develop healthily and to be able to build up and strengthen the bond with other animals and with humans.

Therefore, it is important to give the cat incentives to play - this applies all the more if you keep your cat as an apartment animal. Games that appeal to the hunting instinct of the house cat work best. Everything that scurries, rolls, flutters and floats exerts a natural fascination on the cat and wants to be hunted down at all costs. In play, the cat trains muscles and agility, sharpens its senses and attention and promotes its intelligence. So do not hand your cat the treat, but throw it so that he has to chase after it. In between, get out cat fishing rod, felt worm and the pillow with catnip and challenge your cat to play. You will quickly notice: if the cat plays, the human is also happy.
