4. SmartyKat Scratch Scroll Cat Scratcher – Best for Kittens

If you’ve ever been around a kitten, it’s easy to see the constant need for stimulation and scratching their claws. We think this very well-made cat-scratching post will outlive the continuous abuse of your kitten’s claws.

This cat scratching post has an intricate design and sits stably on the floor so your kittens can play underneath or on top of it. Your cat will love the feeling of these textures on its claws. It even has a teaser to promote healthy play.

This scratching post has both sisal fabric and carpeted surfaces to appeal to your kitten. These different textures will promote healthy scratching and be more likely to prevent your actual materials and upholstery from being torn up. It is essential to get these sorts of toys early in life for cats because it teaches them good scratching habits and gives them an outlet for this much-needed instinct.

We were very impressed with the composition and durability of this product. We think it will definitely withstand the test of time against even the most vigorous scratchers. Did we mention it’s also aesthetically pleasing? We can’t brag it up enough!

5. KONG Pull Partz Cat Toy

The KONG Pull-Partz Bugz Cat Toy will be a hit, keeping your cat occupied with both mental and physical stimulation. Your cat can spend time bouncing, biting, or clawing this toy. The crinkle sounds make the play more enticing, and they can get the reward of pulling off the individual stuffed bugs.

Not only does this give your Maine Coon a physical workout, but it also gives them a mental sweat too. They have to problem-solve to figure out how to remove the pieces. While that can keep them busy for extended intervals, it can also alleviate a lot of pent-up mental energy.

Some cats prefer puzzle toys more than others. If you find that this is something that really grabs your cat’s attention, there are tons more options to choose from on the market that are equally fantastic.

6. Frisco Butterfly Cat Tracks

Frisco Butterfly Cat Tracks were also a huge hit among our felines. They can chase a ball around for hours so it isn’t skipping about your home. This is a three-tier design, so your cat can really get the most out of playtime. And if you have a multi-cat household, this is also an excellent way to promote healthy play.

This toy has a very sound structure, and we think it’ll stay together for a very long time. It is made of heavy-duty plastic coming with three balls on separate chairs and a butterfly teaser wand. You can also make a choice—blue or pink! So you definitely get your money’s worth out of it very quickly.

We were impressed with how seamlessly the balls want to run in a circle, not getting caught or hung up on the internal portions of the toy. It’s very easy for your cat to bat the balls around without injury or getting stuck.

We feel like they would satisfy a strong urge to play while staying stationary, working for both young kittens and older cats with less mobility.

7. Valonii Rechargeable Motion Activated Cat Laser Toy

If your Maine Coon likes lasers, but you don’t feel like holding the button all the time, elect this cat toy to do it for you. A small cat robot gives a red laser signal so your cat can play and chase for hours. This promotes healthy play and is suitable for both individual and multi-cat households.

In the box, you will find a laser head, laser base, USB cable, and a user guide. It’s very straightforward to start, and you can customize it to fit your needs.

This laser light comes with lots of settings to function. It has sensors that you can set to shut off automatically after a certain period of inactivity. Depending on your cat’s mood, this laser light has two available speed modes to amp up or slow down.

This product comes with a 12-month warranty, which we love to see in products. It’s perfect for that very active cat with a super hyper prey drive. Does that sound like your Maine Coon?

8. PetLinks Lil Critters Mice Cat Toy

If your Maine Coon loves batting mice around, Petlinks Lil Critters Cat Toys might be the cutest ones you can find. This particular set of mice works best for cats who are very attracted to catnip, which is not all of them—so it won’t entice every kitty.

Otherwise, these natural-looking little mice are durable and fun to bat around. They feature jute rope for the legs and arms and a nylon body, satisfying different texture cravings. The catnip is completely organic and farm-grown. It has no pesticides or chemicals, so you don’t have to worry about exposure for your kitty.

The whole design is well-made, lasting through moderate to rough play. So, if you have a Maine Coon that’s particularly into batting around paw-perfect toys, this is a terrific option!

This product is basic, simple, and perfect for daily play.

9. SmartyKat Chickadee Electronic Sound Cat Toy

Maine Coons are fierce hunters, so it’s no wonder they love toys that mimic real prey. This will really get them going, making sounds that captivate your cat’s attention. In addition to the playful sounds, it also contains organic catnip to get your Maine Coons attention.

We really love that this entire product is made of 100% post-consumer recycled materials. This particular product is entirely free of chemicals and other harsh substances that could make your cat very sick.

We think this is extra fabulous for sensitive Maine Coons with excitable play drives. It will give them lots of entertainment. Plus, the catnip portion is totally refillable—so once it loses its potency, you can fill it up with fresh greens.

What we love most is its 90-day guarantee for manufacturer defects. We love to see a company take pride in its product!

10. Potaroma Flopping Fish

Sure. The Potaroma Flopping Fish lacks a few key things, but overall, it’s a ton of fun. This fish is designed to mimic a live fish. So, if your Maine Coon loves a good clamp and kick session, this might be a new favorite in no time.

This fish comes with a charger for easy repowering. It connects with a USB cable, compatible with most phone charging cubes. The fish has a red-light feature, showing active charge. When it finishes, the light automatically shuts off.

This fish is almost as long as your cat, topping out at 10.5 inches! It might be a little big for kittens and some cats might not be crazy about the large size. The movements mimic a real fish, which will promote healthy play again and again.

When this toy works, the cats are all about it. However, the remote seems to have a lot of issues, which can be frustrating.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Best Maine Coon Cat Toys

Your Maine coon might have preferences as to what toys they prefer. Some cats enjoy scratching, others enjoy hunting, and some just enjoy being lazily active.

No matter your cat’s play style, you can get interactive or standalone toys to keep them busy all day long. But there are a few things to keep in mind before you buy.

Type

Several types of toys are on the market to keep your cat busy.

Each cat will have its own preference. Once you know your feline, you can probably make the distinction quickly. If you’re starting out, buying a variety pack of toys might be the best option so you can get a good feel for which they gravitate toward.

Material

Sometimes, cats can have different texture preferences. Also, some cats might be more destructive than others, requiring a stronger material. Regardless of the type of material your cat needs, you’ll see several different styles of toys.

Safety

Some toys can have sharp pieces, batteries, or other toxic components that can make them dangerous if unattended. You want to make sure that you know all of the features of the cat toy to know if your cat needs supervision during play.

Allergies

Just because something is marketed as a cat toy doesn’t mean it’s always necessary for every cat. Certain cats have allergies to specific dyes, fragrances, materials, and so on.

If you’re familiar with a certain kind of allergy your cat may have, make sure you avoid this potential ingredient or material in the cat toy you purchase.

Importance of Exercise

Exercise is incredibly important for any cat, including your Maine Coon. You can get them toys and encourage all sorts of different stimulating play. By nature, Maine Coons make stellar hunters so they will have a sense of stalking about them.

 

Conclusion

We stand by our favorite— Hepper Hi-Lo Cat Scratcher for its engaging scratching experience and health benefits. It offers a modern touch on cat furniture that blends seamlessly with any home. We think it can definitely encourage solo play or keep a couple of cats busy.

Catnip Stick Toys from Hepper is perfect if you want to save a few bucks on a premium, all-natural cat toy. This product provides a variety of ways to explore different kinds of exercise.

Frisco Peek-a-Boo Branded Pack is a great investment if you’re looking to give your cat tons of new things to try out. Coming with a 3-channel tunnel, small toys they can bat around, and teaser wands, you really can’t beat the quality for the price—even if it’s more expensive.

Regardless of which one of these toys caught your attention most, we hope we at least lead you to one purchase your Maine Coon can enjoy.
