Yeowww! Catnip Banana Toy

Yeowww! Catnip Banana Toy

A member of the mint family, catnip is a non-toxic herbal blend that works a touch of magic on many cats. It’s active ingredient nepetalactone can create a temporary sense of euphoria and pleasure in your cat, leaving them mellow for a short period of time. Which is why catnip is a key component in many cat toys, to entice and make them chilled and happy. And with this cute banana catnip toy from Yeowww! you can easily give your catnip-loving kit their fix, while encouraging them to exercise and play.

So, why a banana? Well, as cat owners will know, cats love to grab, nuzzle and bunny-kick their toys, and this curved banana shape is the perfect toy to hug, grab and roll with. The cotton twill fabric used for the Banana is pretty durable too and as only natural soy or vegetable dyes are used, it is pet-safe and non-toxic, so there’s no concern if your kit gives it a good chew.

The catnip filling is 100% organic but may not be as strong as other catnip products although it is sufficient for most cats who react. But as the catnip effect only lasts around 10-15 minutes, don’t worry if your kit suddenly loses interest in their banana toy. And it is advisable not to give catnip toys to your pet too often – no more than once a day max – otherwise the effect will decline over time. This means your cat will need other toys, as well as their catnip banana.

The beauty about the Yeowww! Catnip Banana Toy is its price – this toy is affordable and that’s important as the catnip is sewn and so sealed inside the banana and will eventually run out of steam. And the fabric outer may not stand up to more aggressive use, especially if your kit is a prolific scratcher or chewer. But for ease of use, a cat friendly design and a catnip filling that is not overpowering, we think this catnip toy from Yeowww! is top banana.
