Cat toy catnip mouse, 12.5 cm, Kerbl

The Kerbl cat toy with catnip is an interactive accessory designed to provide sensory and physical stimulation for indoor cats. The product uses the natural properties of the Nepeta cataria plant (catnip) to attract the cat’s attention, encourage activity, and help reduce stress associated with living in enclosed environments.

Application

The product is intended for everyday play and behavioral enrichment:

• Stimulation of hunting instincts: encourages chasing, tossing, and grabbing, which is especially important for indoor cats.
• Reduction of boredom and stress: the scent of catnip has a stimulating and later relaxing effect on most cats.
• Environment of use: private homes, breeding facilities, and animal recreation areas such as cat cafés.

Operating principle

The toy works through a neuro-sensory reaction caused by nepetalactone — an essential oil naturally found in catnip. During physical interaction such as biting or rubbing, the scent is released from inside the toy and stimulates the cat’s olfactory receptors. Thanks to the use of durable textile materials, the aroma remains active for a long time, while scratches and claw marks do not immediately damage the filling.

In practice

• Natural stimulation → the use of catnip eliminates the need for artificial scents and additives, making the toy safe for pets.
• High aesthetics and quality → Kerbl products (“Your Animal Experts”) are designed for durability and resistance to scratching.
• Universal use → suitable for cats of all ages.
