Cats, dogs, fish, and birds are our best friends and the ones that listen to us… well at least most of the time. If you have a cat, you probably know how much they love to chew on different things, like your shoes or blanket, at home. Fortunately, chew toys for cats are here to save the day.
In this article, we are going to show you the benefits of cat chew toys. If you have just realized that your cat needs a real toy to play with, you can check out these toys for cats that like to chew on the ToyPetReviews website. There you will find a list of some of the best chew toys for cats with their cons and pros.
Now let’s see what the benefits of purchasing a chew toy for your kitty are.
1. Saves your furniture
We all have that piece of furniture we just adore. However, that might also be your cat favorite chew. Also, your shoes are another thing that cats just love to scratch and gnaw on. If you purchase a chew toy, you will get rid of this problem for good.
It is best to choose toys with colorful designs and patters. Also, you should opt for a soft rubber ball that has a small bell inside. The sound of the bell is going to keep the cat engaged for a long period of time so you will have some relaxation time without worrying about your cat ruining your house.
2. No more angry neighbors
Having a pet is great for you but it can be a real problem for the neighbors. You are probably used to your cat walking on the furniture and throwing stuff on the floor. For the people who live downstairs from you, it is not delightful to hear books falling on the floor in the middle of the night.
Also, both cats and dogs tend to get bored easily. Since you can’t be around the house all the time, they start to play with different things, including the trash. So, if you want to fight the boredom of your kitten, an activity ball that it can chew is the best solution. Always choose non-toxic rubber just in case your pet manages to rip it apart.
3. Oral hygiene
Chew toys are great for pets’ oral hygiene. Just like us, animals can suffer from oral hygiene-related problems like plaque. Since you can’t brush your cats’ teeth every morning, a chew toy is the best alternative. First, you won’t get scratched and hissed at while trying to brush its teeth, which is a plus.
Also, your cat will have something to play with while getting its teeth cleaned. Chew toys act like a toothbrush, but they are less invasive because of their soft materials. You can even purchase special chew toys designed for pets’ oral hygiene.

4. Goodbye teething discomfort
Puppies and kittens experience teething discomfort like babies do. Sometimes, the discomfort can turn into a painful experience especially if they start to chew on hard materials like pieces of furniture.
To avoid this problem, buy a chew toy. If you have a small kitten you can choose a medium-sized ball or branch made of soft non-toxic rubber. When the kitten is chewing on the toy, it senses less teething pain.
5. More entertainment for you and your cat
You have probably seen all the cat videos on YouTube, so you know what we are talking about. Now it is your time to post a hilarious video of your cat playing and running after a chew toy. You can also play with the cat by throwing that rubber ball chew toy and see it chasing it.
Playing with your cat is beneficial for the both of you. There is even some scientific evidence of the benefits of being a cat owner. It is important to spend as much time with your cat as possible. When you are not around, leave it to the chew toy to keep your cat entertained.
These are just some of the most common benefits of giving a chew toy to your furry friend. You should check out different models of toys before taking a purchase decision since some toys can be safer than others. Also, try to get toys with bells or colorful patterns to make sure that your cat enjoys them and doesn’t get easily bored.
