SmartyKat Catnip Kiss Compressed Catnip Ball Cat Toy

Good price and I like how much my cats play with these balls. I have a few who will curl up with the ball and just lick it for quite a while. They last for a long time too, I've found ones under furniture that are probably a few years old & they play with them like they are brand new.

My cats love catnip so I bought this thinking it would be a huge hit and no lose catnip. I was wrong! Neither cat went near it after the initial smell. Wouldn't even use it as a ball! It's still sitting in the same spot since it arrived. For me it was a waste of money. Wish I kept the wrapping,I would have returned it.

One of my cats loves catnip and the other couldn’t care less. They both obsess and drool over this ball, rubbing their faces on it endlessly. I keep it in a glass container with a lid when they’re not using it and as soon as I open it they’re rubbing on the ball, the glass container, and the lid. They love it.

I can't say enough good things about this catnip ball. As soon as I took it out of the package, Sassy was rolling around batting it, kicking it, chasing it, and licking it. She is a picky cat (hence her name) and I have never seen her love something as much as she loves this ball. I will be getting one for every cat I know!

All 3 of our cats went after this immediately Which says a lot because 2 of them don’t play with anything independently. Unfortunately, after playing with it for about 30 minutes it has rolled under some piece of furniture where I can’t find it and the cats are now pouting.

It IS a hard ball made of something. It doesnt smell like cat nip and my cat (who is catnip obsessed) had no interest in it what so ever. They didnt mislead me, my cat just didnt like it. Oh well..... lesson learned.

My cat LOVES catnip (dried). I thought she would probably love this since she rubs her face all over anything that has catnip in it. This ball was very VERY hard, not round (oval?) with cracks/ridges in the surface, and too heavy to bat around. It had no smell to me, even when I wetted it. I* tried scraping off a layer, but a) man it was hard so it may have been old and stale and b) nothing, just a little mess. It did not fall apart like other reviews stated, but was SO hard it was likely just an old one or one that was exposed to air through a leak in the packaging. Without the allure of being pure catnip, it doesn't roll well, has a rough surface with pokey nubs and ridges, and is way too heavy My cat LOVES catnip (dried).

I tossed it, it may have just been a bad one, but I will not repurchase since i don't think i want to be rolling or lobbing this at my cat in case it hits her... again, it's hard and heavy with an odd shape that wobbles/skids unpredictably! … more

The SmartyKat catnip ball is one of my cats favorites... they love to lick it and chew on it. Lasts a fairly long time as well.

The ball is too heavy and hard for the cats to actually play with. I tried to get mine to chase or bat it around but there was no interest like there normally is with catnip. It's just a solid mass of catnip that they ignored almost entirely, and eventually it just split in half.

Perhaps if this catnip “ball” were inside of something to keep it together but this was broken into pieces within minutes of my cat getting his paws on it... He ended up chewing on huge hard clumps of catnip which he eventually threw up because of the sheer size of the thing. Annnnnd... So much for not having catnip to clean up... The broken pieces were ALL OVER the floor, not to mention the lovely puke pile I also had the pleasure of cleaning up. It looks like some folks are having luck with it... Can’t even imagine how we could have possibly received the same thing. Nice idea. Poor design.
