10 Best Cat Toys UK 2024 | Catit, Rosewood and More

Our winning toy had to be the Catit super roller circuit! We guarantee cats will just love chasing and batting at the motion-activated illuminated ball, trying as hard as they can to catch it as it zips around the track.

The super circuit comes in eight parts, all of varying elevations, to create a fully customisable roller coaster design. And to keep playtime fresh and exciting, simply take apart and click the segments back together for different circuit layouts. Made from high quality plastic, it's also free from small parts and very easy to clean. 

To catch a fish, it helps to try using different varieties of bait. But did you know this same logic applies to catching your cat’s attention? When it comes to cat teasers, you can’t go wrong with this this toy from SLSON. 

Brilliant value all round, the pack generously comes with 12 different detachable tips, with everything from feathers to tassels to wiggly worms (some with bells and some without!), all in an array of vibrant colours. The tips attach to the flexible rod via a secure metal attachment, just make sure to put it safely away after each use.

If your cat needs a bit of an incentive to hold their interest, the Catit treat ball is one of our favourite puzzle toys for thwarting particularly greedy cats. Rotate the base to refill the spiral container with your cat's favourite treats, then rotate again to reveal a small dispenser hatch – easy.

Even for such a bargain price, the very sturdy ball means that even the most determined moggy won't be able to tear her way in. Instead, she will need to bat it around to drop tasty treats one at a time, so it's stimulating, too. 

The Kong corduroy mouse is by far our favourite catnip toy. A fantastic way to monitor how your cat fares with catnip toys and treats, the velcro base opens up to allow you to fill and refill the mouse with your desired amount of nip – or leave it out altogether. 

Perhaps most importantly, it’s incredibly well-made. The corduroy fabric is hard-wearing yet soft enough not to hurt teeth or claws, the eyes are embroidered and all small pieces such as the ears and tail are sewn securely into the seams of the toy.

The Trixie cat activity fun board is a brilliant bit of fun for cats that need some encouragement to get active. With 5 different game modules that test sense of smell, memory and dexterity, these puzzles can get quite challenging, providing good mental stimulation as well as physical exercise.

Worry not, though, as this toy isn’t over-stimulating, nor does it require leaping or running around which makes it just as suitable for elderly or unwell cats. You may even want to try using it as a slow feeder for those that could do with dropping a bit of weight! 

This fun floppy fish cat toy has a built-in touch sensor so when it is touched, it will automatically flop and make a sound. Encouraging your cat to pounce, hug, chew and bite the toy. A small bag of catnip is included and you can refill it once the catnip has lost its scent. 

There is no need for batteries as the fish is USB rechargeable and the motor of the dancing fish toy is detachable which is great for cats who may be a little frightened of the vigorous flopping!

Should your cat be the sort to get a real kick out of catnip toys, the jolly moggy wild catnip play fish will go down a treat! It provides a large, smooth surface area made from soft, synthetic fur fabric with a generous helping of nip inside.

Nip-craving cats can enjoy rubbing against, scratching and biting at the plush to their heart's content without coming to any harm. However, once the potency of the nip wears off, interest in this toy is likely to wane. 

If you haven't tried introducing your cat to the humble laser pointer, you're both missing out! A simple way to stimulate your cat's senses, darting the light back and forth mimics fast-moving prey.

You can point the laser manually or, at the push of a button, a motorised mirror re-directs the laser pointer in different patterns to keep Tom on his toes! Lasers can be very exciting, so to prevent over-stimulation, it considerately shuts off automatically after 15 minutes of playtime.

The roller exerciser tower is an easy way to keep cats entertained throughout the day. When nudged or batted, the momentum causes the colourful balls spin around inside the three tiered track, tempting cats to come back and give it another whack!

It's lightweight and compact and there are no electronics or small parts, making it completely suitable for unsupervised play. Whilst it's a great choice for curious kittens, older cats may find it a bit boring.

Made to pay homage to internet sensation Grumpy Cat, Rosewood's hair ball is ideal for picking up, pouncing on and batting around. An amusing plush ball with long tufty hairs and an embroidered grumpy face, your cat can really lob this one around without causing damage to themselves or your home. 

This toy should exhaust your cats natural instincts to hunt and chase and would be ideal for any cat no matter the age. However, aside from making a gentle rattling noise, this toy is fairly basic so depending on the cat, its mileage will probably vary when it comes to entertainment value.
