KONG Whirlwind Purrsuit cat toy

KONG is a worldwide leader in the pet industry, famously known for its durable rubber dog toys. The brand originated in the United States in the 1970s after founder Joe Markham created a tough rubber toy modeled after a suspension part from a Volkswagen bus to satisfy his dog Fritz's destructive chewing habits.

Today, KONG products like the Whirlwind Purrsuit cat toy are part of a massive global catalog. While the design and headquarters remain centered in Golden, Colorado, the manufacturing for many of their electronic and active play toys, including this spinning cat toy, is primarily located in China to leverage specialized manufacturing for consumer electronics and plastics. The brand remains privately held by the KONG Company.
