Lightweight Spiral Springs for Active Cat Play
Product Description
The Spot Colorful Thin Springs are lightweight plastic spiral toys created by Ethical Pet, available in packs of ten in vibrant colors. Each spring is approximately three inches long. Their lively, erratic motion stimulates a cat's natural hunting instincts, promoting batting, chasing, and pouncing during solo or interactive play for cats of all ages.
Benefits
- Natural Instinct Play: The bouncy springs imitate real prey movement, stimulating a cat's innate hunting and chasing instincts during play.
- Active Exercise: Having indoor cats batting and chasing springs encourages them to stay physically active and burn off their daily excess energy.
- Mental Stimulation: Unpredictable bouncing movement engages your cat's mind and helps prevent boredom during independent solo play.
- Great Value Pack: Each pack includes ten colorful springs, so replacements are always handy when toys slide under furniture.
- Lightweight Design: The light plastic build lets cats easily flick, toss, and carry the springs across the floor.
- Three Inch Size: Each spring measures roughly three inches long, an easy size for cats to bat around.
- Assorted Colors: Springs come in a bright variety of colors chosen to catch a cat's attention.
Materials Used
The springs are made from lightweight, colored plastic wound into a coiled spiral shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Spot Colorful Thin Springs?
Ans: Spot Colorful Thin Springs are lightweight plastic spiral springs from Ethical Pet, sold in packs of ten with assorted colors. Each spring measures approximately three inches in length and is intended for cats to bat at, chase, and pounce on during play.
Q2: How many springs come in a pack?
Ans: Each pack contains ten vibrant spiral springs. Having ten on hand guarantees extras, which is helpful because these lightweight springs often slide under couches and furniture during active play.
Q3: Are the springs safe for cats?
Ans: Because these toys are small, supervision is essential. Veterinarians recommend watching cats while they play and removing any parts they chew off, as swallowing small objects can lead to dangerous intestinal blockages that might require surgery.
Q4: Do the springs contain catnip?
Ans: No. Ethical Pet describes this product only as plastic spiral springs in assorted colors, with no mention of catnip. If you want a catnip toy, look at Spot's crinkle and catnip toy ranges instead of these springs.
Q5: Are these springs good for kittens and adult cats?
Ans: Yes. Their lively, unpredictable motion appeals to a cat's prey instincts, and stalking and pouncing keep indoor cats of all ages engaged and active. Always supervise kittens carefully, as they tend to explore small objects with their mouths.
Q6: How big is each spring?
Ans: Each spring is approximately three inches long as stated by the manufacturer, with some retailers listing it at about three and a quarter inches. Its small, lightweight design allows cats to flick, bat, and carry the spring easily.
Q7: How do I clean the springs?
Ans: Wipe each spring with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before returning it to play. Avoid soaking the springs, as excessive water can compromise their coiled shape and overall durability over time.
Q8: How can I keep my cat interested in the springs?
Ans: Rotate the toys. Veterinary behavior guidance recommends storing some toys and reintroducing them later to make them seem new again. This approach helps prevent boredom and keeps energetic cats interested in the springs during independent play.

1. Shipping Origin and Fulfillment
Orders are dispatched from our U.S.-based fulfillment center. We deliver to eligible addresses within the United States and to eligible international destinations shown at checkout.
If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.
3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times
For eligible U.S. addresses, our current shipping options are:
- Priority Shipping: $5.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 1–2 business days after shipment.
- Standard Shipping: $2.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 3–6 business days after shipment.
- Free Shipping: $0 — estimated carrier transit time of 5–8 business days after shipment.
Total estimated delivery time includes both the 1–5 business day processing period and the applicable carrier transit time. The shipping service, cost, and delivery estimate available for your order are shown at checkout before payment.
4. International Shipping
We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.
For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

If an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within 7 calendar days after confirmed delivery. Please include your order number and clear photos of the item, packaging, and shipping label when relevant.

Returns are handled by mail. Before sending an item back, contact our customer support team through the Contact page or the current contact information displayed in the website footer. Please provide:

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.
For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.

After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
