- Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing is not recommended as it can wash out the catnip fill and damage the plush fabric of the toy over time.

- Inspect Before Each Use: Check the toy for tears, loose fabric, or exposed edges before each play session to ensure it remains safe for continued use.
- Replace When Worn: Discard and replace the toy when the fabric becomes significantly torn, or the catnip scent has faded to the point where your cat is no longer interested.
