How to Play
Let Them Sniff It Out
A soft introduction goes a long way for a scaredy cat.
Pick Your Battles
Witching hour? Zoomies building? That's your window. A wired cat is a willing opponent. A sleepy one will judge you from the couch.
Suit Up & Bait Them In
Slide it on, act like prey, trigger their hunting instincts. If they don't take the bait at first, make the first move and touch their feet or put them on their back.
Let the Hunt Begin
Stalk, pounce, wrestle, bunny-kick. This is the full hunt they've been missing. Let them win. A cat that catches its prey is a confident cat.
Watch Them Crash
A tired cat is a happy cat. Ten minutes of wrestling burns more energy than an hour with a laser pointer.

FAQ
Because most toys only trigger one part of the hunt — a chase or a swat. KickMate lets your cat do the full sequence: stalk, pounce, grab, bunny-kick, bite. That's the complete predatory cycle they're hardwired for, and it's why they lock on instead of walking away. If yours doesn't? Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. We cover return shipping.
Months. KickMate is double-layer reinforced with heavy-duty stitching, built for daily rough play, not one-and-done sessions. Most cat toys fall apart or get ignored within a week. KickMate is the one toy that stays in rotation because your cat never gets bored of wrestling. At less than a dollar a week, it's the cheapest enrichment you'll find.
Opposite. If your cat already goes for your hands, it's because they have no other outlet for rough play. KickMate gives them a clear target that isn't you. The glove looks, feels, and moves differently to a bare hand. Cats learn the difference fast. Most owners tell us their cat stops ambushing them within the first week.
As rough as they want. Double-layer reinforced fabric with heavy-duty stitching. Built for cats who destroy everything. The padded sleeve covers your hand and forearm so they can go full feral — bunny kicks, death grips, teeth — while your skin stays completely scratch-free.
Yes to both. With kittens, you control the intensity. Gentle wiggles teach them bite inhibition and how to play without drawing blood. For older cats, you can keep sessions short and low to the ground. You're in control the whole time, which is something no automatic toy can offer.
No drama. Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. We even cover return shipping. No hoops, no forms, no guilt trip. We'd rather you try it risk-free than wonder "what if."
We ship every order free, Australia-wide. No minimum spend. You'll get tracking as soon as your order is dispatched.
