KONG Cat Toys Active Tennis Balls with Bells

KONG Cat Active Tennis Balls with Bells are cat-scaled tennis balls — about 3.8 cm across, roughly half the diameter of the dog version — with a bell sealed inside each one. KONG describes the felt covering as non-abrasive, which is the reason for making a cat-specific ball rather than handing over an old dog one. The bell is the practical part: a ball that has rolled out of sight is still making noise, so a cat keeps hunting it. Supplied as a set of three, which matters at this size, since they end up under furniture and having spares keeps the game going.

• Interior bell — sound continues after the ball leaves your cat's reach
• Felt covering — KONG lists it as non-abrasive, unlike a standard dog tennis ball
• About 3.8 cm across — scaled for a cat's mouth and paw
• Three balls per pack — enough to lose one and keep playing
• Encourages chasing and batting for an indoor cat

Materials and care

KONG gives the composition as 75% vulcanised rubber, 20% polyester and 5% iron, made in China. Wipe with a damp cloth rather than soaking, since the bell sits inside. Supervise play and replace a ball once the felt is coming away.
