Yeowww! Catnip Yellow Banana Cat Toy

All 3 cats loved this banana when it was first given to them but after their initial excitement, my 2 yr. old now totally ignores it and the other two occasionally sniff it and lay on it. The catnip smell is strong and all 3 cats love catnip but the novelty of this banana wore off quickly. They have had the carrot for years (from a different manufacturer) that they still play with regularly so I'm not sure why the banana hasn't been as well liked. Maybe they like the color orange better? :) Oh well, as long as 2 cats are still kind of liking it, I view this as a good purchase. It's well made with no ripped seams and most cats apparently like it so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

"The outer fabric is a durable cotton twill that’s strong enough to hold up to all the biting and bunny kicking a cat can dish out." Yeah. A great selling point ... if only it were true. Several years ago, I had a different "Yeowww!" catnip toy that WAS durable (until it got so disgusting after a few years of use that I finally had to throw it out). So I bought this as a replacement. Two days later, I came home to find a big hole ripped through the side and catnip scattered all over the floor. Now I see that others have had the same problem. If I'd bothered to read those "one-star" reviews, I wouldn't have bought the thing. A waste.

We have several of these throughout the house for our 4 kitties -- some have mandatory "nip" or "banana" stops and playtime throughout the house, others "hit the nip" and keep going. But having several of these throughout the house in different rooms, we make sure to get new ones and switch them up so the cats get "the fresh stuff". These are a great size for big kitties and small -- they also are great weight for bunnykicks, bites, nips, licks, and throwing them all around during playtime. Highly recommend for any household!

Our cats went bananas over this toy as soon as it came out of the box. They licked it and drooled on it and grabbed it and kicked it for days - until someone kicked it under the couch. Once it was retrieved, they were all back at it again. I find it carried all over the house all the time. The only thing I don't care for is the green and brown staining through the yellow fabric from the catnip inside getting wet while they slobber all over it. They certainly don't mind that it's ugly though!

When I brought the package inside, my cats immediately started tearing at the cardboard. I had forgotten that I ordered a catnip toy, so when I opened it the 3 of them tore thru the filler and my smallest cat grabbed the banana and ran. I found her flailing upstairs in ecstasy. She completely lost interest in about an hr, leaving the banana soaked in drool and discoloured. I'll occasionally stuff some fresh catnip in one of the torn seams and they'll smack it around, but probably I should dispose of it at this point.

In my home of 4 rescues and where I volunteer weekly in a free roaming no kill cat rescue, Banana toys stuffed with THE REAL FRESH SMELL of catnip is a must to have as an option for cats. My big orange cat, tucks it under his front paws and sleeps on it. My other three scratch it with back paws while clutching it in their front paws to get the catnip aroma “ going”. Great purchase! Stable size too !

These are our cats' favorite toys,EVER. The long banana shape is perfect for holding, biting, and kicking all at the same time. One cat gathers all the bananas into a pile and lays on them all so the other cats can't find them.Of the many types of toys that we have gotten for the cats over the years, these are the only ones that they will continue to play with even if they are dead and ratty looking! I like that they have no fluff, feathers, or attached pieces for my cats to swallow.The simple shape and no frills design makes it the best toy EVER in my cats and my opinion!

I have 3 cats and have never had a toy that they all liked. I bought 2 thinking that at least 1 would be left collecting dust. Nope. They go crazy over these bananas. I've seen them playing with them, laying on them and last night I saw the 1 cat carrying it in his mouth. He's never done that. I definitely will be buying more of this company's products.

My cats like catnip. One, more so than the other. But this thing, they BOTH flip out for! It's well made, and chock full of catnip. I think I'm going to buy a dozen more, because my cats go so hard on this thing that I'm going to give one to ALL my friends who have cats now!

This actually is the second time I have gotten this item. The first one was given to me at a local pet store. Really never thought the cats would love it, but they did. The first one was getting pretty ratty so I bought a new one. Both kitties love this toy, it's the perfect shape for them to hold in their front paws and kick with their back paws. Cat nip is added fun for them.
