Both Cats love this toy
Both our cats love this toy. They spend ages playing and chewing it. However it does have a strong smell, that transfers to the cats fur. Based on our experience you either tolerate this or it is repulsive to you. I think it has a bit of wet animal smell to it. My other half thinks it is worse than the litter tray on a bad day.
Great toy. But be careful stinks a lot haha
Great. My cats love it. It works better than any other catnip toy. They just loves to kill it 👍
My cats love it
Read a lot about the smell. Ours has no obvious smell and our cats love it. Particularly our female cat who doesn’t like to be touched but brings it to us making those cat noises of sheer delight bringing their owners a gift. She is so sweet with it eventho it’s an incredibly ugly looking toy. I would buy it again.

Brilliant
I've brought a few of these for stray cats I cared for and my cat, Big hit for all, just brought another 2 for a friend's cats, they love them too and only 3 quid, can't go wrong

Nearly killed my cat!
My cat had this for 30 seconds, was really enjoying it until he pulled off a big clump of fur and started to cough and choke. Luckily I was there to rescue him. Awful quality of product. Please do not leave your cat alone with this toy!

Love!
My cat loves her ferret, it really cheered her up after she had teeth removed.
Smell fade after few days
The smell fade and my cat stop enjoying it after few days. It is very expensive for being used a few days only. Please do something! Make refill maybe?

My cat adores this
It was out the box for less than a minute before she was rolling around the floor with it. Such happiness ,she squeaked and meowed, rolled around and flicked it up in the air. Ugliest thing ever but she even sleeps with it, dragging it around the house. Best money I have ever spent.

Favourite toy
This toy has a strong smell but it does fade over a couple of days. Anyway Portia loves it. Has a tumble with it then settles down to sleep Having a cuddle.

Obsessed
Trixie absolutely loves her woozle. I had to buy her a new one, so I brought all the cats I know one too.
Cat is obsessed!
This thing reeks of feet.. but my cat absolutely goes crazy for it! It looks like a dead animal especially after the cat makes it all wet. I took the toy away, back in its plastic and in a box to bring it out again later but he fished it out and carried it round the house. Great success (if you can tolerate the smell in close proximity).

Smelly fun!
I didn’t read the reviews before I purchased so I wasn’t expecting the smell. Oh my, dead fish crossed with dead rat lol Anyway, my 6 love it and I’ll definitely be buying more. Great fun!
It's a hit
My cat loves this, so did 2 rescues. I brought the 1st one a few mths ago and it still has the same affect. The smell is nothing unless your gonna sniff it!!! The 2 rescues took the ferrets with them, now buying number 3 for my cat. I wish there were more larger toys similar to this.

Kittens have gone Moggy over these ferrets!!!
To be honest after reading the reviews i was a bit skeptical about purchasing something that would stink out our house... but me being me i went with it anyway... i sure am glad i did.. our kittens went mad when they got them 😂 i did notice a slight smell but nothing like what was cautioned about in other reviews... if you have a dog that chews hooves, then its that kind of smell which to be honest is not that bad at all!! I will definitely be buying them more...

Ratty and stinky and we love it!
When we took it out of the bag to say i was unimpressed is an understatement. It looked and smelled like roadkill that had a pretty rough life even before it got run over. But we put it down for the cats anyway and they went MAD for it. A month later and Stink Weasel is still their favourite toy. When it's not being beaten up mercilessly our giant Maine Coone is cuddling it like a baby. I've spend probably hundreds on toys for my cats and this 2.99 tops it all.

He is obsessed with this!
My Ozzy was trying to get this out the box/packet before i had chance to open it for him and he loves it! He has a habit of destroying toys quite quickly but this one is still going (despite dome fluff ripped from the nose) 6 weeks later which is a miracle!
Yes it does stink but he doesn't seem to mind!
Kitty cat LOVES THIS!
Bought this as my cat only likes the valarian pouches you can get, doesn’t care for catnip at all! Absolutely loves this, hasn’t stopped playing with it since I got it out the box and even then she was straight in the box for it when it arrived! Defiantly will be buying more! Defiantly stinks though but excessive smell goes quite quickly.
Stinky ferret is a hit
I bought the ferret & the mouse. Other reviewers have mentioned the awful smell (to be honest it's like vomit) but once the toys were out of the plastic bag it's not too noticeable unless you pick them up. Both cats loved ferret the best although he's not got much filling compared to mouse. They loved it so much they fought over it. Definitely a hit & would recommend.

My cat didn’t even wait for the bag to be opened
The smell is another level. It’s got a faint hint of fox wee about it. It smells so bad! If you have large issues with rotten smells, I would avoid.
However, my cat absolutely LOVES it. She was all over it as soon as I got it out the box. She didn’t even wait for the packet to be opened.
I would 100% buy again if this ever got destroyed. I am hoping the smell dies down after a while though. . .

Both of ours love it!!
A fantastic toy – I should have ordered two straight away because both of our cats love playing with it. Sure, it has a strong smell, but it’s just valerian, catnip, etc. Personally, I don’t think it “stinks terribly” like some people have said, but I can understand that some might not be able to handle the scent. It just smells like a strong herbal tea. We think it’s great and will be ordering two more soon!

Great
Awful, I bought this toy for my cat and he had some kind of fit, I don't recommend it but I'm giving 5 stars because the bug really zooms around and does mind-blowing, unexplainable tricks, flips and spins, and the cat will recover.

Lovely and sturdy toy.
My cat goes absolutely mad for his little ferret, and the ferret stays nice after every play session.

Super
I didn't expect such an unassuming ferret toy to bring so much fun and joy to my cat, especially since she's already an adult. But she plays with it regularly and you can really see how much she enjoys it. I definitely recommend it 😁

Smelly ferret
My cat loves this ferret toy, it has a hellish smell that lingers in the air and on her, but it makes her so happy. How long the smell lasts depends on how long you let your cat play with it, but it's definitely best to put it back in its plastic packaging each time if you don't want everything to stink. It's worth buying even though it smells.

The ferret passes the test
The cat could already smell the ferret through the packaging and tried to get to it; for an hour, we couldn't get him away from it. After a week, he's definitely less interested, but he still plays with it now and then. But the happiness at the start was indescribable.

The scent isn't as strong as it used to be
I bought this toy a year ago and the smell was much stronger back then, it was almost unbearable. Now you can barely smell it, and my cat played with it for a bit and then lost interest 🥹

Addictive
The combination of herbs/filling in this little ferret toy is truly addictive for our cats. They keep playing with it. Really a hit.

They loved it! It has a particular smell, but anything for their happiness (they left it covered in slobber).

My cats loved it, it has a particular smell, and they drooled all over it, but as long as they're happy, nothing else matters :D

Worth the smell
First of all, this product smells bad, but the smell has faded a lot since I bought it. The most important thing, though, is what my cat thinks. He carries it around and wrestles with it all over the flat, and he loves taking it up onto the bed, the climbing tree, and the scratching barrel. It's honestly one of his favourites. I highly recommend giving it a try! Just be prepared for it to smell quite strong at first, but if your cat likes it, try to stick it out, because it will get better.
