Common Questions

How long does the catnip scent last?

The catnip scent can start to fade within a few weeks, so periodic reapplication of catnip or silvervine is recommended to keep the toy engaging.

Is the toy safe for cats who chew on ribbons?

Supervision is advised as cats could chew and possibly digest the ribbons, which may pose a health risk. Promptly trim any chewed strings to prevent potential issues.

Highlighted Reviews

"I appreciate the quality of the toy's design and construction. The fabric withstood his nails… no signs of thread pulling or seam separation."

— Concetta

"My cat is a fussy princess! She doesn't play with toys much. That being said she did bat at the ribbons but that was about it. She is not a catnip kitty! The catnip did not entice her!"

Bottom Line

A great toy for catnip-loving cats, but consider additional catnip refills for sustained interest. Suitable for both young and older cats.
