I've never seen the wiggly wagglers before but we go have kongs which to me look the same

http://www.feline-frenzy.co.uk/p800122/Kong_Cat_Hugga_Wubba/product_info.html

Both my boys adore the kongs and play with them all the time even Jess Cat.

The cat nip banana was chewed to start with but not any more.

Yep we have 2 year old and 18 month catnip bananas.  Both look disgusting but are chewed and kicked regularly.  In fact Noni goes a bit demented with her banyan  :shocked:  I reordered some more last night and hope to get to the packaging before the cats do this time  :shify:

Also I'm assured by a colleague that the catnip christmas tree I got for her puds last year is still carried about, kicked and chewed by her persian gang of four.

Haven't tried the wiggly wagglers.

The bananas get a thumbs up but for durability i reccomend the xmas tree, catspurr ghost or heart as they are that bit tougher for enthusiastic catnippers :drool;

Ours were played with a lot but also peed on by Willow so never replaced.

Ours loved the waggler, until Penguin peed on it.

Since they have cat nip in them they are now banned from the house.

Question: do those that like it also like other catnip toys and catnip in general? :scared:

Yes, Blip does, although she isn't as enthusiastic over any toys as some cats are.

My boys can take or leave catnip toys (mostly leave!) , but are firm fans/hunters/destroyers of the wiggly wagglers.

Jaffa and Mosi loved theirs when they first got it.  They ignore it now but if I wave it around they will swipe and grab at it.  Worth the  money definitely.  I do feel the need to hide it when people come around because it looks like a giant, knitted tampon  :rofl:

Maxy loved his wagglers, so much so that we had to get a special 'double strength' one made up as he destroyed them so fast  :evillaugh:

Poot also loves them, grabs them and bunny kicks with his back legs, a definite firm favourite in our house  ;D

My two both do the hugging with front paws whilst drumming with back paws thing. Milo also has a bit of a wool fetish, so they go down very well here.

Unfortunately they don't always last that long as both boys like to tear off the woolly tails and also to tear at the wool of the main body until they finally disembowel it. However they both love them and they are always greeted with much growling and enthusiam when I do spring for them - as they're quite hard boys to please I do find the wws worth it.

I gave one to a colleague's cat and she went bananas (the cat, not the colleague!). She was a bit of a catnip junkie anyway, and  did the whole carrying around, cuddling/rubbing and drumming routine.

Mine do prefer the full size to the kitty size, but then they are grown up (or as much as singas ever get!).

My cats rarely play but I once gave one to someone for their cat and they said he carried it around all over so if he likes carrying things around he may like it, I also put one out for the ferals once and one of them carried it all over the garden, I suppose you'll not know until you try.

Robbie's not a fan either but Lilly loved it.  It's not active enough for Robbie - he isn't very good at devising his own games and likes the interaction that he gets with the other toys.

He's likes "carrying" prey so I was trying to find something like that. Den, they do kitten sized ones. ;)

They also love da bird but not the kitty copter so much.

Not a big fan here. He needs someone on the other end to wiggle it and he may or may not attack it .. Then he just wrestles for a minute. He prefers fighting with me.

Now the kitty kopter  :shocked: this is somewhat of an addiction. He does everything with it and takes it everywhere! Even to the loo - leaving it outside whilst he does his business. Its the perfect size for him (he's chewed right the way down so its about an inch long, if that), whereas the Wiggly Wagger seems too big for him.

Blip's not a great one for toys but she quite likes to grasp her wiggly waggler with her front paws and attack it with her back feet, so it's a good toy for her.
