Many cats are crazy for catnip, and a dab of catnip will irresistibly lure cats to any toy, scratching post, or kitty tower. Fresh catnip is also a favorite treat for cats. Here are my top picks for catnip, catnip treats, catnip toys and accessories, and catnip to grow.
Yeowww! Catnip Cigar

Catnip Cigars are in high demand in our house. We almost always have three or four of them lying around in various stages of wear, and the cats the youngster compete over the ones fresh from the store. The scent lasts amazingly long, and I've found a few spins in a warm dryer refreshes them for a whole new round of play. Still, almost every time I take a trip to our local pet supplies store, a new Yeowww! Catnip Cigar manages to find its way into the cart.

Pawbreakers is such a simple and logical concept for combining a catnip treat with play that one wonders why it wasn't discovered long ago!They are made of quality catnip bound tightly into a ball shape with a food binding agent, and cats simply cannot resist playing with them, then eating them.
Kitty Hoots Tail-Chaser

A rather ugly looking toy to human eyes, the Kitty Hoots Tail-Chaser tempts the kitties with its 15" tail and soft body filled with catnip. Drag it teasingly across the floor or toss it in the air and watch your cats scramble to capture it. This toy is great for both interactive and play-alone play for cats.

These Cat Squirrels come in several sizes and each is filled with Kong Premium Catnip, which, in my opinion, is on a par with Yeowww! catnip. A hidden closure may be opened to refill with a catnip package.
Kitty Hoots Okey Dokey Pokey Ball Cat Toys

Like the other Kitty Hoots toys, these are filled with catnip, and are great fun for cats to roll around, chase, and nuzzle up to. They come in assorted styles and the photo is just a sample.
Boogie Mat

The colorful Boogie Mat comes in Fish, Oriental, or Bird patterns, and will become a favored toy or sleep companion for your kitty. The Boogie Mat is made of poly-cotton, features a zippered pocket for the essential catnip (1/2 oz. included), and adds value with fringes on each corner that your cat won't be able to resist. He'll have his own "flying carpet" with his Boogie Mat.
Catnip Pizza
What a unique idea for a treat for your own cats or a gift for a friend! These pizzas lie on a bed of moss, and contain fresh organic catnip, along with tasty treats like tuna flakes, salmon bits, anchovies, and shrimp. One of these pizzas may last months, and a little goes a long way. Catnip Pizzas come in Gourmet Style and Fish Frenzy flavors.Kookamunga Catnip Treats, Chicken Flavor
Chicken treats are a favorite with my cats, and these are enhanced with catnip, along with Colonel Kookamunga's proprietary blend of 8 special spices. Yum!Catnip Spray
If you don't like the mess of loose catnip on scratching posts and cat trees, catnip spray comes to the rescue. Pleasant-scented to humans, it is irresistible to cats, and the scent lasts a long time. Your cats will love everything you spray with it. Be sure to try it on your cats' scratching posts.
