Catnip toys are good stimulation for my cat's health as the activity has enabled him to shed some pounds and also he seems to be happier
My cat Sam is an older cat that has FIV. He tends to sleep a lot now that he is a senior cat and has put on weight. I was reluctant to change his diet because he really likes his food and honestly I did not want to cause him to feel stress. So I bought him catnip-filled toys and they stimulated him to play.
Honestly, I think the catnip toys have brought out Sam's inner kitten. He is vocal when he carries the toy around the house. Sometimes he throws the toy up in the air and other times he rolls around on the floor with his catnip-filled carrot toy.
Catnip toys are good stimulation for cats as they improve the cat's disposition, and keep older cats mobile. Know that I do not allow Sam to play all day long with his toys, I do put them away and bring them out a couple times a day I use them as therapy.
