Highlighted Reviews

— Lynn

"My cat loves the size and texture of this toy. I like that she can also use her back claws while wrestling with this toy. Not sure how strong the catnip is after a couple of months though since she isn't as attracted to it as she was."

— Ellie

"The cat shredded this toy on the first day we gave it to him. He loves it but we’ll have to throw it away within a month of giving it to him as the stuffing is already spilling out of it."

Bottom Line

Consider other cat toys if strong catnip and durability are important factors for your pet. Minimal repetition highlights the need of searching for alternatives.
