I caught the Kong Hugga Wubba cat toy on sale for about $4 at my local pet store. Choco, my older cat hasn’t thought much about it, but Oscar, my sweet yet wild kitten, loves it. I’d say that the Hubba Wubba is his favorite toy. Even if Oscar is asleep, he’ll come running if I pick up the toy.
The durable, catnip-filled Hugga Wubba toy makes a jangling rattle noise when struck, and springs back via the cord if held from above. The shape reminds me a bit of an octopus. Several colors and styles are available.
Although the Hugga Wubba is safe, durable and attracts Oscar, it has a few downsides. The plastic stick unscrews in the middle for easier home storage and display in the store. The problem with that is that the stick may become unscrewed while you’re playing. No big deal, it’s just annoying. Another thing I’m nervous about is that Oscar tries to bite the string in half. I have to keep it hidden from him when I’m not around to supervise. I suppose the string is fairly strong as he’s nibbled on it a few times now and it’s still whole.
Overall, though, I’m very happy I bought the Hugga Wubba. It allows me to play with my kitten while keeping my hands safe from scratches and he looks very adorable hugging the toy. Please click through the image gallery to see Oscar in action with his toy.
