"As another reviewer commented, this toy has a much larger space in which to stuff catnip. My cats really appreciate that feature. In other toys, the pouch is too small to be effective."

— Creatures

"My cat shredded these way more easily than other catnip toys so I only got to refill them twice before they were totally useless. The cat loved them and they were cute while they lasted"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a cat toy that your pet will enjoy for a few hours, this is a great choice. However, if you want something that will last longer, you might need to consider more durable options.
