Your cat doesn"_t care that you think this toy is cute; they like it for all the right reasons. The Himalayan wool used in these toys is not chemically cleansed, so it has a lot of lanolin in it. Lanolin is the natural oil unique to sheep"_s wool and it reminds cats of the scent of their mother. Even without catnip or bells, your cat will be naturally engaged. Using a technique called wet-felting, the only materials used in the making of these items are pure wool, natural soap and water. This cat bed is made from safe, non-toxic dyes in an environmentally sustainable low-impact dying process which uses less energy and produces less waste byproduct.
