AREIIA Catnip Ball Toy for Cats Catnip Refillable Scratcher Ball Kitty's Faithful Playmate Reduce Obesity and Loneliness CSB01BR

I gave this 3 stars and I will explain why. Since i am reviewing the toy and the catnip it comes with I had to combine them as I was reviewing 1 product. I would give the toy it’s self 5 stars and the catnip -5 stars! But I can’t so I gave 3 stars.The ball its self is great! My cats had a blast playing with it. It came with a small plastic vile of catnip. It was more of a powder/dust then actual dried up catnip leaves and such. Two of my cats had the same reaction on 2 separate occasions when they were giving this catnip. Since this catnip is more of a dust I rubbed a little bit on a soft cat toy instead of giving them a small pile to play with. (You don't want them to be able to breath the dust in it could get in their lungs and cause all kinds of other problems). As soon as he ingested the catnip he ran off in a panic. When I caught up to him his mouth was all foamy and he was drooling! I thought maybe he was choking. I opened his mouth taking the slime and foam out and the only thing I could see was remnants of catnip powder. He eventually calmed down once I got it all out of his mouth. It took me a lot longer to calm down since I couldn’t wrap my head around what had just happened. My heart was racing. I thought I was going to have to rush him to the vet! Luckily everything turned out alright. I am very experienced with cats and catnip. I had never seen any cat act like that for any reason. When I told my husband about the situation. He said that he had a similar experience with one of our other cats! Not as Severe or dramatic but she had the same drooling and panic affect after ingesting the catnip. He asked me what catnip I gave to the cat and I told him the catnip that came with this toy.So please trust me if you buy this toy for your cats just trow away the catnip. It’s not worth the worry. Buy them some catnip from a trusted company instead. I wish i had a video of how my cats reacted to this catnip so I could show just how dangerous it is. It was not the positive playful reaction it should have been. It was straight panic and fear! I would have posted a picture of the catnip “dust” to show the texture but I already threw it away.I don’t like to give negative reviews but I would hate for this or something worse to happen to another cat. So the least I can do is share what my experience was.

I was able to get cat nip into it easily. So far the cat has sort of played with it a little bit when I've rolled it around the room but she hasn't played with it without that encouragement. It's pretty well made.

It’s bigger than I thought, or maybe it just heavier.. my cats run away or ignore it. I thought it would be a good toy for them but.. no. It seems pretty sturdy and durable.

One of my cats played with it for about 15 minutes, then none of them have touched it since. Cat’s ages 3,2, 1.5. They LOVE the catnip treats I got them.

What a nicely designed toy. And it's fun to add catnip to the receptacle in it! It rolls nicely and looks different from all the other kitty toys we've accumulated. I had high hopes. Kitty says... meh. Catnip or no, my kitty goes back to the old cheap sparkly balls from the craft drawer.

Too easy destroyed by getting wet. It was fun for a few minutes

This is a great product. My cat Misty loves playing with this ball. It is durable and she plays with it all day.

I was sort of skeptical first time giving anything like this to my cat she’s about 1 year old and a few months I believe(adopted) and wow seeing her happy like this made ME happy haha 5 stars ! Comes with small vail of nip and so far so good !
