Highlighted Reviews

"I gave it 5 stars because all 3 of my kitties love it. Two five year olds and my 14 year old."

— Jean

"My cat generally loves all catnip toys. This particular pouch did not get her attention for long at all. She sniffed it a few times & ignored it and continues to do so. I had purchased a pink cigar from Chewy previously and she still loves that. I won't order another pouch for her."

Bottom Line

Recommended for cat lovers. Positives outweigh with a good balance between engaging the pet while remaining a hit despite durability concern.
