Kat the Caterpillar is a small, lightweight wool toy designed for cats and other small pets. Each caterpillar is hand-felted from cruelty-free New Zealand wool and includes a gentle jingle bell at the tail to encourage batting, chasing, and interactive play.
Sized for small paws, Kat works well for solo play or supervised playtime. The firm but soft felted wool provides texture pets enjoy without synthetic fibers or plastic components.
Available colorways:
- Rainbow Kat – multicolor felted segments
- Summer Kat – warm, seasonal tones inspired by summer colors
Details:
- Approx. size: 5″ x 1.5″
- Material: 100% New Zealand wool
- Bell: small metal jingle bell sewn into tail
- Hand-felted using warm water and vegetable soap
- Dyed with eco-friendly, azo-free dyes

At the end of its life, the metal bell can be removed for recycling, and the wool body can be composted.
Alternative use: Kat can also be used as a natural drawer or gym-bag freshener by adding a drop of essential oil to the wool.
Do not use essential oils if giving to pets.
