Product Information
Full details
The KONG Tropics Pals 2-Pack is designed for active indoor cats who enjoy a variety of tactile play experiences, ranging from intense swatting to quiet nuzzling. By combining a durable herringbone-textured exterior with soft plush fabrics, these toys effectively cater to a feline's natural hunting and comfort instincts; however, cat owners should monitor play sessions closely, as the fabric components are not indestructible for heavy chewers.

FAQs
Are these toys machine washable?
We recommend spot cleaning only. The internal crackly material and high-quality catnip can be ruined by a washing machine cycle.
Are these safe for kittens?
Yes, they are generally safe for kittens, but always supervise initial play to ensure they do not attempt to tear and swallow pieces of the fabric.
What is the primary material used?
The toys are constructed with a combination of scratchy herringbone tweed for durability and soft plush for comfort.
Can I replace the catnip inside?
The catnip is sealed inside the toy. If the scent fades, placing the toy in a bag with loose catnip can help 'recharge' the external fibers.
How many toys are in a pack?
Each purchase includes two saltwater-themed plush toys.
Troubleshooting
Cat is losing interest in the toy.
Rotate the toy out for a week or place it in a bag with fresh catnip to rejuvenate the scent.
The toy appears to be fraying at the edges.
Inspect for loose threads; if the internal fill becomes exposed, remove the toy from play to prevent accidental ingestion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for these toys; simply remove them from the packaging and introduce them to your cat. They are suitable for cats of all sizes and life stages. To maintain the life of the toy, avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the internal crackle material and clump the catnip. If the toy becomes covered in fur or debris, gently spot-clean the exterior with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. If the catnip scent fades over time, you can refresh the toys by placing them in a sealed container with fresh catnip for 24-48 hours.
