"Oh my gosh my cat loves these, the catnip is fantastic, she goes bonkers for these. Nice plushy fur also, not like real fur others have (where it seems like it's from a real animal yuck) these are thicker and a little more coarse which makes them even better!"

— Mama6Cats

"I read a review that asked if these were soft. Chewy's answer was that they were soft inside because they are filled with catnip. That is not the case. They are hard plastic inside, and my cat crushes them in his teeth within minutes. I had to throw them away."

Bottom Line

If your cat loves to chew and destroy toys, this one might not last long. Overall, it's a fun and engaging toy for cats, but durability might be a concern.
