Hello, congratulations on your new kitten. Not every cats, particularly young cats may be attracted or enriched by catnip. Some cats have no response to it. Additionally, your kitten my be too young to understand the concept of a Kong toy. This type of toy, works well for food motivated pets. So of Halley is eating as much as a kitten does, then she may not be too food motivated yet. As she gets older, its likely that she will begin to look for treats and understand the concept of the Kong toy. In the interim, there are plenty other toys you may consider for kittens, ideally something they are unable to rip or chew and therefore ingest. Avoid strings or soft toys. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Congratulations!! I would recommend making sure you get kitten appropriate toys, two litter boxes and kitten food. At 1 month of age I would recommend a wet kitten food. I would also recommend clumping litter for her. You can always get her other fun stuff like a soft bed for her. I would hold off on any treats until she gets used to her new home. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Hi, kittens should have toys that stimulate activity and exercise, like toys that have feathers on them, balls and catnip infused toys. For protection against parasites, she should be on a monthly topical preventative such as frontline, vectra or revolution. Good food is essential, and any high quality brand like Science Diet dry food or canned food should be good. I would not free feed her, only give him her portion of dry food twice a day to avoid het getting overweight. Also, Bella should be taken to a vet a dewormed and spayed. Good luck with Bella!

Jasper sounds like quite a character! I do recommend obviously to be VERY careful regarding chewing electrical cords. Many pets lose their lives each year due to chewing cords that are plugged in! Make sure to always replace tubes/keep them covered/keep them in areas that Jasper cannot access. You may even have a Jasper-proof room where he gets shut in any time you are not home to watch him. This is certainly a good safety measure. There are many toys options out there and I think KONG has a few that are aimed at cats who like to chew. Some even have tasty little treats that you can put in them, some have cat nip in them and I think he would have a lot of fun. It is important for you to remove any strings or movable pieces off the toys before you give it to him so that he doesn't swallow them. Also check the toys regularly for any pieces breaking off that he could swallow as this is a risk for intestinal blockage. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional ques

He looks beautiful. Most cats love crumpled paper balls! But you can try the fuzzy mice that are available from a pet store or get one of the angling toys (a stick with an attached string and a fetherball at the end). You can also make a feather toy for him by gathering a lot of feathers, tying them together and throwing it. Anotehr great toy is a ball into which you can put dry food. The ball has a few holes and as he plays with it the food falls out. once he figures out how it works, it is a great toy. (But my cats still like the small crumpled paper balls best.....)
