Catnip toys may be purchased or hand made but always be careful to provide safe toys for your kitty. If you make your own toys be sure that no strings, buttons, or other little pieces could be torn off and become a choking hazard for your cat. Catnip toys may occasionally have beads or buttons that are not securely fastened and if swallowed could cause choking or intestinal blockage necessitating veterinary intervention. Always choose materials that are lasting and not likely to tear away from the toy. As your catnip toys become worn and frayed they ought to be substituted with new fresh toys.

A catnip toy may be made at home with little difficulty. Use a little forethought and pick out an interesting shape such as a bird, mouse, or other little animal that would interest your cat. Get the materials together which will include a simple pattern, a good deal of sewing thread, a great deal of strong cloth, and a lot of dried catnip. Begin by sketching your design on a piece of paper. Cut the pattern out with scissors and place the pattern down on the cloth. Trace around the pattern so the shape is transposed to the cloth. Using your scissors cut two pieces of cloth with the same pattern. Plan an extra half-inch around the outside of the pattern for sewing. Then sew the perimeter of the toy except for a little opening to fill it with catnip. Fill the catnip toy with catnip and sew the opening closed. Catnip toys are in truth not that difficult at all.

If you know how to crochet or knit you may use these accomplishments to make toys as well. You may do this by creating your own pattern or by taking vantage of the a good deal of free patterns available on the Internet. Keep in mind that your main goal to be attained is plainly to make a pouch to comprise the catnip. You could go one step further and sew a flap over the filling hole and use Velcro to securely close the flap. This would concede you to refill the catnip with fresh product. If you choose to knit or crochet your toys you may sew a backing material to the knit or crochet to make it sturdier.

If you are not handy with sewing, knitting, or crocheting there is even an having little impact way to make catnip toys. Just find an old sock that is not worn severely and place the catnip inside. Tie the end closed and you have a toy your cat will love to play with. An old sock may provide one of the easiest to make toys.

Another approach is to reuse and old catnip toy that may have stale catnip inside. Just open it up and refill it with fresh catnip and sew it back up. Then watch the fun begin. You may use catnip purchased at a local pet store or you may grow your own from seeds.

Kitty loves it!
By Woody
My cats love these! The only problem was the fuzzy ball at the end was easy for them to tear off. However, they still go crazy for both parts!

My kittens love them
By Natasha Lemak
Overall good product. My cats love playing with these and carrying them proudly around.

Pros:
* They twirl nicely when thrown up in the air.
* My kittens love pouncing on them and carrying them in their mouths by the fuzzball end.
* The feathers seem lasting and none have fallen out yet.
* Good 3-pack value for the price.

Cons:
* My kittens remove the fuzzballs closely instantaneously and I have to make sure they don’t swallow them.
* In-flight time is a bit shorter than my expectation but not of real concern.
