In a Nutshell

  • Limited cat appeal due to lack of catnip smell. The design is appealing and body soft but does not make up for functionality
  • The only verified review mentioning catnip smell received a 1-star rating. The other review mentions the toy"s soft body, but no catnip smell is made up for because there isn't any catnip
  • Inferior alternative cat toys available

Quick Verdict

The Ethical Pet Hedgies Plush Cat Toy with Catnip has mixed reviews. While it is soft and has an appealing design, the lack of catnip smell greatly diminishes its functionality as a cat toy. Cats showed no interest in it, and one user mentioned dissatisfaction with the coloring, though noted that cats see mainly in grays, blues, and greens. Overall, there may be better options available for cat toys.

"I'm not happy with the coloring but since cats mostly see grays, blues and greens, I guess it doesn't matter much. It's about 3.5" long. My kitten is 2 months old and she'll only play with it if I play with her with it. Maybe when she gets infatuated with catnip when she gets older and I spray so..."

— Tammy

"This was supposed to be a catnip toy but had no catnip smell and the cats were not interested in it at all."

Bottom Line

This toy may not be worth purchasing as it does not fulfill its core function of providing cat entertainment. Consider elsewhere.
