Yeowww! Catnip Yellow Banana Cat Toy

I have two cats and one is more interested in catnip than the other. Catnip lover smelled this from the other room while I was still unpacking and was at the kitchen day waiting for me. Her sister joined her immediately and they both mewed and clawed at it while I held it. They then took turns rolling around and scratching on it and were blissed out in 10 minutes or so. The smell is so potent that we put it away in the basement and break it out from time to time. They both still love it and come running for it. I've never had a catnip toy that got that much reaction before.

For our Houston’s 7th birthday, we decided to get him this catnip toy. It was delivered while I was at work, so my fiancé brought it in the house. When I got home, he mentioned that he has to hide the box on top of the refrigerator because Houston was going crazy pawing, licking, biting at it. So, we set the box on the ground, open it just enough, and he dove in to get his “nana”. He LICKED this banana for 4 HOURS he absolutely loves it! He gets those big eyes when he rediscovers it in the living room. BUY THIS TOY. Just for the pure joy they get during the first time!

Unfortunately two of the bananas arrived with a busted seam but I only saw it on one of them and put it aside to fix. The other did not last 12 hours before it became an exploded flattened mess of catnip EVERYWHERE. One of my newest brood members, a former feral who has adjusted surprisingly well to indoor life has claimed one banana as "his" and will not be parted with it! He holds it and licks it like his little baby. And under no circumstances should one try to take it from him! His claws are razor sharp!! Lol. It's the most precious thing ever! Most of the others will play with the other two that are still in tact, but they seem to get bored with it fairly quickly. They're cats after all.

I am glad that Angus' banana is holding up to his "love" too. I'm not sure if I just got a couple of flukes or what but I am not totally impressed with how little time the one lasted. I'm also not a fan of them being non-refillable. Though the gaping hole the two arrived with could be useful for that purpose I suppose. All in all, considering they come stuffed absolutely full of catnip for like $6, and seeing Angus hold his like a baby he loves, I guess they're mostly worth it. … more

The boys woke up from a long nap to start playing with the new toy immediately! Unfortunately it started falling apart shortly thereafter. They still love it, but it’s hemorrhaging catnip everywhere. Going to try a little surgery repair since they love it but I can’t give it more than two stars since it didn’t last 24 hours.

I have some smaller catnip toys from Yeowww! that I purchased several years ago. They are in constant play rotation with my three adult cats. The catnip is still potent after all this time. I am, however, very disappointed with the banana cat toy. After less than 24 hours, the poor thing has two giant holes and it is hemorrhaging catnip all over the place. I will say the catnip is just as potent as ever. I just think the fabric and construction is not up to their usual quality.

My 3-year-old boy has become bitey lately, so I purchased a variety of chew toys for cats, in the hopes one or more will avert his preference from biting my fingers to biting his toys... While this toy doesn't specifically address that issue, he does absolutely LOVE it, so it's getting 5 stars :-)

I got 2 of these Banana's because I seen how my daughter's cats love them. My cats immediately fought over them. The winners usually flop down and hug, kicks and licks it. Then rubs and rolls all over it. I'll get a couple more in my next order so they don't HAVE to fight over them. They must have some crazy good catnip in them.

I follow CAM (Cole and Marmalade) on social media, and their cat dad Chris posted pix of them enjoying these catnip bananas. I ordered them for my twin tuxies Cherry and Charlie, who couldn't even wait for me to get the delivery box open to begin playing with their own bananas. I did have to cut off labels and plastic hang tags, but so far the bananas are holding up and being thoroughly enjoyed! A great buy at a reasonable price.

We received this toy as part of a birthday box last year. My now 14yo cat goes bananas over this banana. I have to keep it up and supervise when it's out because her brother tries to steal it from her! I'm ordering another one so hopefully the territorial disagreements will end! After playing today she fell asleep on it. I guess that's one way to keep him from stealing it!

This is my cat's new favorite toy! I thought it was going to be too big, but it is not. He can pick it up and carry it as well as bat it around. He is very rough with it, so the stitching is already coming apart a little but I would still buy it again.
