Using the KONG Tropical Pals cat toy is super easy. Just give it to your cat and watch them have a blast! Let them scratch, bite, nuzzle, and bat it around. There aren't many special precautions, but keep an eye on your cat while they play to make sure they don't chew off and swallow any small parts. To maintain the toy, you can give it a gentle shake every now and then to redistribute the catnip. If it gets dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. This will help keep the toy fresh and appealing for your furry friend.
