"Chipper, the Chihuahua loves this so much more than the cats. For whatever reason my cats don't like the crinkling paper sound. Chipper does, he really rips into that thing. (Not literally?)"

— Mari

"Cute, but my cat has no interest in it. Not enough catnip. If there was suede or leather on it, it might be more enticing like a real shoe (which my cat loves to chew on), but probably too expensive to make."

Bottom Line

If your cat loves strong-smelling catnip and is easily amused by plush toys, this might be a hit. Expect varied durability and mixed reactions from your pets.
