Yeowww! 100% Organic Catnip Toy, Yellow Banana 3 Pack

First off - I NEVER write bad reviews. And I honestly feel awful doing this, as I really dont know if the issue is with my cat or the product itself (hence the still 3 stars) but Im hoping this can help others. Weve purchased Hot Cats products of a similar toy-style for many years now and my two boys go NUTS over them! This year, they seemed to be sold out online so I bought these instead... One of my two boys likes to lick the outer shell of these toys, until its wet to the touch. Both of the times he has been around/played with this toy, hes gotten sick to the point of vomiting over several hours...... Im unsure if its an allergy or what, but this toy is the only possible culprit (as nothing else in his daily routine has changed over the last two weeks and its within an hour of contact). I will say he is diabetic and on insulin for the last two years (I doubt that really plays a factor, but just in case). I will add though that my other cat seems to have no issues, he does not lick it and just sniffs it and seems to be fine. Maybe its something in the fabric? I really dont know. I hope its just my cat and not the product itself- but I had to put the warning out in good conscious...

I’m sure there are some cats that dig this brand of catnip but unfortunately, my two were not among them. Must be a case of personal preference as they were equally disinterested in “sardines” I purchased as well.

I bought the pack in 2011, but they havent gotten as much use due to durability issues, hence the 4 stars. My cats love the catnip and attack the bananas with such enthusiasm that after 24 hours the side seams split and catnip gets everywhere! The first few times I tried sewing them back together, only to have the seam split in a different place. I just gave up and put them in storage. Then last week inspiration struck. I got out and old pair of tights and stuffed two of the bananas into one leg, tying both ends tightly and cutting the excess fabric off. Basically, a catnip banana sausage. Success!!! Right now I am watching the two cats alternately tear at it with the back leg gutting move, then roll onto their backs spaced out staring at the ceiling. Cat heaven!

This product became a huge fan favorite in our house, ordered 3 more, than a 5th one to satisfy the demand of it from our other 4 cats. This is only of them that literally can’t be without it now. If it were a little smaller, I think she’d carry it around the house her…lol

We have several very good catnip product

The boys lost interest quickly but it isnt because of the structural integrity or smell of the toy. Its just how my cats are. When they like it, the exercise is pretty epic.

Our cats absolutely LOVE these bananas. They hold up better than most catnip toys, and we put the extra catnip in a jar and reseal these up to recharge them. We have a ton of these and the cats never get tired of them.

cats love them, so after they get nasty I replace them about every 2 years

My cats love these. Superior to other catnip toys - according to them!

Got a three pack for my three cats and they all went to town the moment I opened the package. Perfect size and shape for hugging and bunny kicking. The fabric is sturdy and sewn well. The potency does wear off like all catnip and theyre not refillable without a little effort and needle & thread. Once the smell starts to weaken Ill put them in the microwave for 5-10 sec. til theyre warm to the touch, which helps reactivate it. Be sure to stand by the microwave bc I forgot mine once and it ended badly for the banana.
