Potaroma 3 Pack Catnip Toys, Interactive Kicker Pillows

I don’t know what’s in these things (I do, it’s catnip), but my cats LOVE them. I had to get a second bundle of them because they fought over them so much so now everyone has their own. Just the sound of me holding and squeezing it summons them all to my feet as they intently await their chance to chase and wrestle with it. Super crinkly. Holds up well and is durable in addition to being soft and fluffy. I wish there was a way to refill them with new catnip, but my cats still have a blast.

This toy is soft on the out side with long fur like strands and so far has held up well. The crackly sound seems to stimulate the cat to kick it with her hind feet. She seldom initiates play with it, but will bite and kick if I tickle her with it. This is one of two cat toys that I feel were worth the money for my cat. You just don’t know ahead of time. The little jingles balls that came with it were not successful. It seems safe and hasn’t come apart.

I foster kittens and this has been one of the all time favorite toys!!
Very soft, great size, well made amd the perfect amount of crinkle noise (not annoying)!

Davon abgesehen dass keine meiner Katzen interesse an den Kissen zeigen, riechen diese auch eher chemisch und kommen in einer sehr wenig vertrauenserweckenden Verpackung.

 Cat toys:
1: is it worth it?
2: will they use it?
3: is it sturdy – will it last – hold up to nails/teeth?

1 – you decide for $13
2 – mine has kicking habits so they use the toy
3 – seems sturdy @4 months in

Positives:
I have 1 gray cat (12 yr old male) that plays with anything .. A N Y T H I N G
and 1 black cat (7 yr old male) that only plays with red dot/flash lights, bugs and string – NO CAT TOYS – but he’s seems to like this toy as long as the gray cat is also playing with one simultaneously. I’m unsure if it’s because he sees him playing and is jealous (there’s a lot of jealousy between these 2!) or if it’s because the catnip attracts him and then he’s hooked, or both.

You can see both cats enjoy it. My gray cat is the one who likes to kick and has long rear nails (he plays very, very rough normally) and he enjoys the heck out of this toy. Even the big black cat will do an occasional kick with it.

Negatives:
The one thing is the little feather stuff. There’s a few pieces that are longer (you can actually see it in one of the videos, the black cat playing with the green one it has a piece that’s longer, and it goes across his face). My other gray cat eats anything. He’s a total garbage disposal. He eats hair off the floor. He eats dust balls. He eats carpet pieces that have been picked up from their nails. Arg! I’m telling you it’s horrible. So, I am forever living with the behavior of cat/toddler proofing my home. If it could be picked up and put in the mouth or licked, it’s bad. I know that’s sad but it’s the truth. So that’s a negative because I picked up one of the pieces off the floor when they were new.

And of course, the catnip doesn’t stay for long. But I am getting the most life out of them as possible because I keep them in separate Ziploc baggies and don’t let the air get to them when not in use.

And last negative would be cost. I believe I paid $13 or so 11/27/23. When I replace these, since they don’t last more than a few months before the catnip or the attraction portion of the play is gone from this toy, I’ll be looking to replace them for at least, at minimum, 50% less than what I paid, or between $5-$7 tops.

Notes:
I keep/store these in a Ziploc plastic bag with the air removed (when not in use) and bring them out for a few minutes of play or until they’re tired of it and then store it back in the baggie. So it seems to last longer I suppose. I bought this pack of 3 toys on 11/27/23 and they’re just now getting to the point where I should be replacing them soon if I want them to enjoy the catnip portion as part of the toy.

Overall. Good toy – sturdy, crinkly, decent cat-nippy smell, cats seem to enjoy them and their nails/teeth haven out any holes in them or scratched them apart. Also store them in a Ziploc baggie when not in use, the catnip part will last a bit longer. So if I’m using a scale of 1-10 then maybe an 8-9 using my gray cat to measure because he loves to play normally and will play a long time due to the catnip. Also he has no teeth, so he slobbers on it, a lot, and I have to wait for it to dry before I can put it away in a baggie. Or it could just be because he plays with it so much more than the other cat that it’s out of the Ziploc baggie more often, therefore, the catnip portion of it could be going away or not as strong. But he still plays with it and once I entice him, he really gets going with it.

I got these in the mail and open them immediately, threw them on the floor, and the cats just attacked them. They absolutely love them! I constantly see them playing with them and even though I bought three, they always fight over the same one. The toys are fluffy and have catnip in them. They also crinkle when the cats play with them. It’s fun to watch! Fast shipping, packaged well, and a great value for the money!
