3. Ronton Cat Toothbrush Catnip Toy
What could be more fun than a toy that is also a toothbrush? Not much, if you ask us. But this rubber toy, which is also apparently good for your kitty’s teeth, can be made even more appealing by tucking some catnip (included) inside it and afixing a bell (also included).
