Q6: Are these mice safe for my cat?
Ans: These toys are meant for cat play but should be used under supervision. Veterinarians advise removing toys if they are chewed into pieces, since swallowing fragments can lead to serious intestinal blockages needing medical intervention.

Ans: Ethical Products, founded in 1952 in New Jersey, is the creator of the Spot brand. The company emphasizes consumer value, customer service, quality, innovation, and safety in its pet products.
