Cats may not typically have the same natural urge to chew as dogs do, but all cats are different. While some cats prefer to pounce on or bat at their toys, others like to chew on them, and for those kitties, you’ll want to invest in some of the best cat chew toys that will last (especially if your cat is teething). As well as keeping your cat out of trouble, chewing on toys promotes healthy teeth and gums, and that's always good news for pet owners.
