Heart to Tail Pumpkin/Acorn/Mushroom Catnip Toys, $4.99 at Aldi

All toys are small, soft, and the perfect size to carry or bat at. Your cats will love playing with their favorite prey.

The Heart to Tail Fall Catnip Toys include a red-and-cream mushroom, a bright orange pumpkin, and a brown acorn. The pumpkin has a brown stem, the mushroom has a red polka-dot cap on a cream-colored base, and the acorn has a textured cap for a realistic look.

All three are filled with catnip, your cat's favorite thing in the whole world. Expect your cat to appear out of nowhere and claim one of them the moment you open the package.

The best part? These toys look like tiny autumn decorations you would put in your home. Sadly, they'll end up under your couch within 24 hours, covered in cat hair.

The Case for Seasonal Cat Toys

Swapping your cat's toys with the seasons is one of the easiest and simplest ways to keep them engaged . Cats get bored with the same toys. A new shape, texture and scene can engage their hunting instinct in seconds.

At $4.99 for all three, these are an impulse buy. They cost less than a latte, and your cat will get more entertainment than a single coffee.

Catnip makes playtime more interesting thanks to a compound called nepetalactone. It can trigger a behavioral response as soon as cats sniff it. You may see cats roll around, rub their faces against the toy or become playful. That is the power of catnip. And you can get three toys for the price of one.

Grab Them Before They Disappear

Aldi finds often sell out in a day or two. Shoppers might hate it, but the price is what makes pet parents grab them as soon as they see them.

If the pumpkin, acorn, and mushroom combo doesn't match your cat's taste, Aldi has a second pack of fall toys shaped like a corn, a leaf and a chestnut.
