Cat Wool Ball FAQ
What size wool balls should I get for my cat?
Medium and small balls are best for chasing.
Large balls are great for kicking and wrestling. Some cats like a selection. Please remember that larger dogs could swallow a small or even a medium wool ball. Choose accordingly.
How durable are the wool balls?
Our wool balls are made by wrapping thin layers of wool into a ball and then processing them in hot water and gentle soap for a very long time. They are much more durable than a typical natural fiber toy. If they get fuzzy or dirty you can wash them. Throw them in any wash and when they come out roll them between your palms. Air or machine dry.
Why do cats love wool?
We think this is about smell and texture. Our wool toys have a fresh animal quality of natural wool. The wool also lets your kitty's claws stick, like a mouse but with no blood.
What if my cat won't play with the wool ball?
Just like with people, not everyone likes the same thing. You might try sprinkling catnip on it. You might also try playing in the bathtub with it. Let the cat chase it in an area he or she already likes. Also, some cats like to play with the balls in private when moms and dads are sleeping. See if the ball changes locations when you aren't looking.
