Crazy For Catnip!

It's no secret that many cats love catnip. Catnip is a natural herb that contains nepetalactone, a stimulant that brings out a cat's playful side! Behaviours often seen in cats around catnip includes: rubbing, rolling, biting and chewing the product, purring and pawing. It is used in many cat toys to make them extra appealing.

Here's our top catnip products for happy moggies...

Yeowww! Catnip

The Yeowww! range is definitely well deserving of the top spot. This American company produces super strong organic catnip that really drives the kitties wild! The toys come in a range of fun designs, including rainbows, bananas, cigars and sardines. We've yet to find a cat that doesn't love the Yeowww! products, and all the staff cats enjoy them immensely!
Yeowww! also do bags of loose catnip - great for putting on scratching posts and scattering on their beds.


 Zebedee's Catnip Mice

The Zebedee's are a traditional catnip mouse toy that really packs a punch! Enjoyed by lots of cats, the mice come in pink and blue - though we don't think they really mind the colour!


  
Kong

Kong have a large variety of catnip products, ranging from loose leaves to sprays. One of their more unique products are the refillables - small toys that you can refill with loose catnip over and over. They come in lots of fun designs so you can find the perfect one for your cat.






 Scratch Boards

Scratch boards are a great alternative to upright scratching posts. Scratching is a very natural behaviour for cats - it helps shed dead claws and also gives them a good stretch. Scratch boards are made using cardboard and can be filled with loose catnip - to help encourage your cat to use it (instead of your sofa!) Here's one of the staff cats in action with the Catit! Board. She definitely gives it her seal of approval!
