Roly-poly toys encourage cats to bat, swat, pounce, and chase. These playful movements provide essential physical exercise that helps them maintain a healthy weight and condition their muscles. Regular physical activity can also reduce the risk of obesity and related health issues.
The unpredictable movements of a roly-poly toy mimic the actions of prey animals, triggering your cat's hunting instincts. This mental stimulation keeps them engaged and prevents boredom. Cats may exhibit destructive behavior when they're bored or under-stimulated. Providing them with a roly-poly toy can redirect their energy towards a more appropriate and less destructive outlet. The physical and mental engagement distracts them from sources of stress and provides an outlet for excess energy.
