Yeowww! has been making catnip toys for more than 25 years, and the range at PeekAPaw covers shapes that cats use in genuinely different ways — long kick toys, small carry toys and rolling balls. Every toy is durable cotton twill filled with 100% organically grown catnip: leaves and flower tops only, no stems, no cotton filler and no plastic pieces. They are sold by fullness rather than weight, and hand sewn in the USA.
Picking a shape
Shape matters more than colour. The long toys — Cigar, Fish and Banana, all around 7" (18cm) — sit between the front paws so the back feet can rake them, which is the play most people are hoping to see. Small toys like the Hearrrt Attacks get carried and dropped at your feet instead. My Cats Balls roll, so they suit cats that chase.
If your cat ignores catnip
Response to catnip is inherited, and a proportion of cats simply do not react — kittens usually will not until they are a few months old. The crinkle-lined toys still work for them: the Butterfly and Dreidel Krinkle both make a sound when swatted, so there is something to play with either way.
A note on the jugs and displays
Several listings here are trade counter units — a fish bowl of 51 Stinkies, a jug of 42 Lady Krinkle Bugs — and are priced for a shop rather than a household. If you want a single toy, buy from the single-toy listings.
