Yeowww! Catnip Yellow Banana Cat Toy

We recently lost our beloved fur baby son, Butters and we are completely devastated to this very second. We have been with Chewy for years not only because of their superlative toys, vitamins and other supplements but because their Customer Service is 5 Star and A++++, period!! If you ever have doubts, DONT!! ;D Lynda August

Yeowww! filling is pure catnip. No fake fluffy stuffing with only a small amount of catnip - or some toys are just given the scent of catnip with who knows what nasty stuff. Yeowww! catnip toys are packed with dried catnip. They are pretty well sewn but it's only fabric and stitching against the teeth and claws of a cat. My two cats like the banana because they can chew on the ends (same goes for next door's cat who visits). Once a hole is created the catnip can be dumped out in a pile or scattered around the house so these are not for anyone who doesn't let their cats be cats. My two boys have a lot of energy. Not all the Yeowww! toys are easily or quickly demolished. The rainbow has been around a while. The fish is hanging on. With my guys it has to do with how easy they can hold onto the toy while working on creating a hole in the outer fabric. The banana is definitely the preferred shape. It's not just our current cats. We've rescued plenty over the years. The superior quality of Yeowww! catnip has always been preferred by our cats. They have lots of other toys, scratching posts, etc., to keep them busy but when they want to slow down the catnip toys allow them to enjoy "kitty crack", a nap and then the munchies. One cat actually uses the rainbow toy as a pillow for his nap on occasion.

I didn't understand why my cat seemed to love this toy so much more than other catnip toys, and why it's slightly more expensive, until I saw a video on their website of them cutting one in half. It is COMPLETELY stuffed with catnip. No cotton or polyester stuffing, no plastic filler: It's literally just cloth filled with catnip. That means a cat that likes catnip (some aren't affected by catnip at all) will become laughably stoned the first time they play with this. But my favorite part is that most other catnip toys only interest my cat the first day, but this one can still lure her into her cat carrier months after purchasing. The downside of it being all catnip is that theoretically it could be messy if your cat breaks it open. I haven't actually found this, the toy last months in our household, and I throw it out when it's first starting to fray, so there's never been much of a mess. If your cat tends to eviscerate toys, this one might be messier than other catnip toys, but this one might be safer too. The cotton or polyester filling inside most other cat toys can cause a blockage if your cat swallows it, but loose catnip doesn't have that risk. That said, please throw it out once you notice it's breaking, since even a loose thread can be a danger to cats.
