Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Textile mills.
- Why it's in the product
- Tug toys, and the casing of catnip toys.
- Safety and toxicity
- Chemically about as benign as toy material gets. The risk is entirely mechanical and it is not small: swallowed rope strands are a classic linear foreign body, which can saw through intestine and is a surgical emergency. Cats are especially prone to this with string.
- Interactions and who should be careful
- Throw rope toys away once they start shedding strands, and do not leave them with an unsupervised shredder.
