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