"I filled the little turtle with the catnip, and it has become his favorite toy. He throws it around the room, and then chases it. I find it all over the downstairs, where he has thrown it. It is a little smaller than I expected, but my cat doesn't seem to mind."

Albert went nuts and is still "killing" the toy. Peeved about the spilled catnip, though. It was cheap, I'm..."
