Crikey those valerian toys stink!

[princesskasren]

They do pong. Mine are kept in several bags and only come out for a few minutes a week.  The cats adore it though, but like catnip it is a very short frenzied "high" so thankfully they can go back into their bags dripping with drool until next time  (the valerian toys that is, not the cats!)

haha, i wasn't serious!


Would a local cat shelter not take the toy?  I bet the cats would love it!

[princesskasren]

awe, don't throw the toy out!! you should have donated it to a rescue, or to a fonzie!  he would have been your best friend FOREVER.


Valerian doesnt bother me that much - i mean it doesn't smell GREAT or anything, but much preferable to what amber enjoys, which is rolling around in fresh poo.....

Well it's just in my little trash basket in the living room so you're welcome to it...It won't cost hardly anything to post it you. If you're comfortable sending your address to me and have decided I am not a kitty stalker you can message it to me here.

We have two valerian toys which are kept wrapped in plastic bags on a very high shelf!

Valerian is the only thing Bass is interested in - she's not impressed by catnip or any toys so we keep the valerian for her. Spoilt rotten, that cat!

Valerian is  Tan once sent me a valerian toy to trial for the shop and it was disgusting, I love my boys but there are limits to my love and valerian is one of them 

Do you think Oscar is totally blind or might he be able to see shadows?

Oh I agree I have already thrown teh toy out...yukky. You know I sort of wondered about taht because soemtimes he does look like he is trying to focus but then I will let him out to wander a new room and he'll bang straight into the leg of a table so I just cannot tell.

Oh forgot he was blind

Bed mice? Hands under teh covers? That's gonna be hard with a blind cat!!! LOL...I have tried bells and balls and crinkly toys and smelly toys. Maybe he just doesn't like to play...perhaps it's beneath him? 

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Yes they do and my cats dont like them.

You can teach a cat to play but it takes a long time and some cats just dont like to.

Best way is bed mice 

Catnip is also not liked by all cats.

I bought a valerian cat toy and a honeysuckle and catnip one from here the other day and boy does the valerian one stink! Both cats loved the honeysuckle/catnip one but only Jez liked the valerian one...I however do NOT! It smells like death to me....when she's not playing with it I have to keep it wrapped up in 4 plastic baggies and I can STILL smell it!!! LOL Oscar is not interested in the valerian one and even though he rubs his head against the catnip one he doesn't play with it like Jez does. when she gets hold of catnip she's on the floor rubbing and purring and killing it with her back legs...I wonder if no-one ever taught Oscar how to play? It's so sad.
