✔️🐈‍⬛🐈Safety is of utmost importance to any toy I make. That's the reason I never use ribbon or string on any of the toys I make. My own purr-babies play with everything I make, so I research to find safe alternatives to the foreign made toys. Most pet toys in the Pet toy market, have little or no regulations on safety and are usually made in a foreign country that have no guidelines for safety. ** Just like children, pets need to monitored while playing. I watch my own cats play and see what they go for, and if there is anything that could pose an issue. So when I decided to make the Kicker Mouse, I wanted to make sure the tail was not a danger to cats, especially ones that like to chew. I finally decided on an all natural, Jute rope.

**I also offer them tail-less as an option. I also don't add things like eyes, whiskers or noses--less is more when it comes to cat toys. 🐾

🐈‍⬛🐈**Jute Rope and Cat Safety

Despite the strength and durability of jute, it is a soft material that is safe for cats to be around. Unlike some other rope materials, jute will not cause any harm to the cat if they come in contact with it because it is considered non-toxic. In fact, many cat toys are crafted from jute rope and sisal rope since they are both natural materials.

As with any rope or twine material, owners should always err on the side of caution due to potential choking hazards but if you are searching for a safe, natural choice of rope that can be used around your cat, jute is a fantastic option.**

***CATNIP/SILVER VINE BLEND

What is Silver Vine?

Silver Vine or Silvervine (Actinidia polygama) is a non-toxic plant that is safe for cats that grows mostly in the high mountains of Asia. It is a vine that is in the Kiwi Family. It is also known as matatabi--the catnip of Asia.**

It has the same safe effect as catnip on cats.

A small percentage of cats never react to catnip, but do react to silver vine.
