Catstages Green Magic Dynamite Stick Catnip Cat Toy

The kids just absolutely love it. They play with it regularly. Very good item. Nice quality and definitely something they’ll enjoy for years to come.

These are awesome. My cats love them. I have to repeatedly buy new ones because my cats always misplace them.

Not sure why this product is named "Green Magic Dynamite Stick" when it's clearly a red stick of dynamite...other than maybe the "green magic" that's inside of this thing!! 😂 HOW MANY TIMES, as a pet owner has it happened where you come across a toy that claims to be infused with or contain "silvervine and/or catnip", to buy it and end up with your cat having precisely ZERO interest in that toy? They aren't cheap, either --on average, a toy containing silvervine and/or catnip runs anywhere from $8-$23. Even purchasing the catnip and/or silvervine separately the product will typically run between $9-$17 depending on sourcing and the quality of the product. IT IS EXHAUSTING AND EXPENSIVE, and after a while as a pet owner you just give up on those kinds of toys, right? It becomes this sort of "Hey, if it's true & it works, then great--but I'm not spending a million dollars on it for it not to. If it's relatively cheap, then sure--why not?" I have two grown cats, four 5-month old kittens and a brand new litter of 5 3-week old kittens. Finding enrichment for them is a CONSTANT struggle, so I try to aim for simplicity and inexpensiveness when evaluating potential toys--cats can be destructive little monsters, lol. So, when I saw these dynamite sticks for sale at just over $3 each, I figured "Hey, why not? Worst case they hate them--and then I'm only out $3." As soon as the first one arrived, upon opening it I IMMEDIATELY realized this was different from virtually every other catnip-filled product & toy I had purchased previously. For one, I could actually SMELL the catnip inside of it. It wasn't overpowering or anything --just enough to know it was ACTUALLY THERE and not mostly filler the way other catnip products typically are. Most of you who have handled catnip know that ideally you need to crush it and release the scent and oil to stimulate and entice your cat, right? With the cylindrical shape of this toy I found that EXTREMELY EASY to do, simply rubbing it and rolling it between my hands to crush the catnip inside of it before tossing it to my kittens to see what would happen. I didn't have to wait long. 😳🔥🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🔥 Now, none of my kittens are the kind that I would say typically have "extreme reactions" to catnip or silvervine. They might enjoy it for a while, but then get bored and wander off. But this? THIS EAS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT--within seconds my female dilute tortie had wrapped her whole body around the dynamite stick and began furiously rubbing it all over herself, while the other 3 became obsessed with prying it away from her, only to do the exact same thing themselves once they had it wrapped within their paws. One of them turned into a little monster and began gnawing and furiously kicking at the dynamite stick to release more of the catnip before abandoning it entirely to just flail on his back on the floor, purring like a motorboat flailing paws and tail while swishing against the carpet where the dynamite stick had been. Not gonna lie--IT WAS THE MOST BAFFLINGLY HILARIOUS THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! 😂🐈‍⬛🐈🔥🎉 By the time they had all had a turn this poor dynamite stick was all out of *boom*. Amazingly though despite four kittens with sharp claws and razor sharp teeth tearing and gnawing and biting and kicking the absolute bejeezus out of this thing, it held its durability and integrity amazingly well--not a scratch!! Now burnt out with energy spent, I put the toy away knowing that cat's won't react to catnip the same way for about two days after it's introduced. I quickly realized that this might be one of the top 5 toys I've ever found for these little monsters. Quick like bunny I went back to Amazon to purchase FOUR MORE STICKS because I know, eventually, the catnip inside them will have been expended of its utility...but at just over $3 per stick I can EASILY justify purchasing more of them and keeping them on standby for when the first one eventually burns out 😇 TLDR, this toy is a safe, effective product for bringing hours of play and stimulation to your cat. It actually contains the catnip and silvervine that it claims to contain, and at just over $3 per stick even if your cat doesn't fully respond to it the way you'd like them to, the price is so low that it's worth it to try. So what are you waiting for?? Go get one, or five of these!! They're amazing--you srsly won't regret it.

My cat goes crazy for these and they last forever! Ive tried tons of different toys and he just gives me blank stares but when one of these shows up he goes nuts and gets so happy. I think these will make it 7 of them he has and he plays with every one of them still. The price is on point so im sure after a while my place will just be filled with em, its the only toy i trust buying him

This toy is awesome. Those who complain about it not squeaking loud enough must not have heard a mouse squeak. Yes it doesn't screech like a mouse in duress but who wants to hear that. You can hear it 50 feet away easily. Only thing is I wish there was a non-catnip option. I leave a star off simply for it to possibly be noticed by the sellers/manufacturers. She absolutely loves this thing.

Great grandcat Christmas present. He went crazy playing with his mouse. The sound kept his attention for hours. It’s adorable and well made.

The one I received does not squeak. I pulled the "pull to activate" strip, but nothing. My picky cat likes it anyway, so I guess it's ok. Just no squeak.

I bought this for my kitten/cat. The cat seems to really enjoy it and it has lasted pretty long, although, the battery can not be replaced. It is still working.

It was a gift to a cat owning friend. Cat loves it, wont let anyone take it from her.

Super et amusant. Mon chat l’a testé et il approuve autant que moi ! Et j’en ai commandé un autre pour le chat de ma petite fille. On verra si le jouet est toujours aussi apprécié, mais je pense que oui ! À part la livraison bof mais sinon, tout est bon !👍😊

the cat loved it and played with it a lot. It had some bit marks and scratches but still intact. Good quality

Good one

Es un buen juguete, solo que mi gato no siente atracción con el catnip :( así que no le atrajo del todo, el tamaño y la forma simulan algún insecto, así que esl lo hace interesante para los mininos.
