Frisco Mythical Mates Gnome Teaser Cat Toy with Catnip

Good lord my cat loves this toy. It came at just the right time when we aren't able to go outside for our afternoon walks due to smoke and the minute I pulled the gnome out of the box he just went wild. We are talking catching the gnome out of the air, somersaulting with it caught in our feet, smack-down wild. No idea how long Mr. Gnome will survive with the level of roughhousing he is getting.

This is not a toy to my cat. This is his BABY. He carries it all around the house, meowing. It's a very distinct meow, too. Whenever I hear that meow, I yell "bring it here, baby!" and he comes running to me with it in his mouth, so happy and proud. Very weird. He's 9, and has never done this with another toy.

We just adopted Ruth Bader GinsPurrg (Formerly Baby) 4 months ago. I bought this toy because it cute as heck and a great price. I had no idea she'd be obsessed with it! It's a real favorite! Can't wait for more to be available so we can get more for backups!!

This is the cutest toy! My cat loves to chew on the hands/feet, while I personally enjoy (in my best gnome voice) narrating the experience for all to hear -- "No, no! Not my feet! Aghhhhh! Help meeee!". This toy is as much fun for me as it is for my cat... ok, maybe more fun for me. The little gnome runs around our living room seeking safety from our feline, hiding behind cushions and coffee tables, and ultimately is always captured by the predator. For bonus fun, when the cat's snoozing, I sometimes have this sit on it's back like my little gnome friend is riding our cat. This is a fun one for me, for sure.

I love this toy more than my kittens love it lol My kittens are only 3months, they are little bit scared of it but slap to the floor. Good quality, sturdy elastic string and stick. it’s pretty big toy so check the measurement.

Of my two 1 yo sisters, when it comes to wand toys (and playing in general), there's the "fighter" and the "spectator". The spectator always eagerly watches, but beyond a few bats when the fighter isn't around, usually doesn't join in. With this guy though, she goes crazy. Even when her wilder sister is actively watching. I think it's the arms/legs somewhat, but the elastic string helps a lot. Also makes it easier to play with them while WFH at my desk during those long zoom calls (recommend camera off, haha).

Please tell me this will come back! Our Bengal LOVES her “summer Santa”. She drags him everywhere, even into her window perch. This has been her most favorite toy and it needs to be replaced. I highly recommend this little toy. So much fun and has lasted over TWO weeks with very aggressive play! Top notch

Definitely a hit with Ms. Query! I try to rotate the wand toys we use prior to meal times so she doesn't get too bored "hunting" the same "prey" every day, but if we're just not having much interest with an option after a warm-up period, I know I can pull this guy out of the box and salvage playtime. He's fun to slither along the ground, or hide behind a door with his legs sticking out (a fatal mistake!), or climb her cat tree and have a seat with his legs dangling (she can climb up to his level and go for the head, or stay a level down and sneak attack by pulling him down by his feet.) Speaking of the cat tree, Query LOVES to pull her toys through her cat condo, down onto the couch, and then Definitely a hit with Ms. Query!

If a string or wand is too long, we end up tangled up; if it's too short, either the toy gets yanked out of her mouth or the wand gets yanked out of my hand and scares her. Greg the Gnome is a GREAT length for us: the length of the body gives me a bit of warning that he's been caught, so I can get ready to thread through with her, the wand isn't too long to fit through the condo box, and the string is stretchy enough that she can keep making her way down while I pause to pass myself the wand. … more

My cat loves this toy -- it and a small catnip mouse I got from a local pet store are his two favorites by a long shot (is the catnip in both? Probably.) Not much else to say about this one -- the arms and legs on this lil' dude are long and loose, so they're fun for cats to chase, and the body is sturdy enough that when they catch it and do that hind leg kick thing the toy holds up.

I truly never write reviews for anything but my cats just love this toy so much I have to share my knowledge!! I’ve bought two so far and am about to buy a third. It’s pretty solidly durable, the string holding the toy to the wand gets gnawed down by them whenever we play with it (which is at least once a day) but it still took around a month for it to break and even then I could just knot it up and keep playing. 1000/10!!
