Fantastic.
Never seen anything like it! My 2 cats went crazy for this and still love it a year later.

Stinker
I call it ‘the dead ferret’. Looks and smells like hell but the cats absolutely love it. About the only toy they haven’t lost interest in

My cats favourite toy
My cat loves this toy so much that he broke it out of the packaging & started playing with it before I managed to get a chance to wrap it up for Christmas. The catnip in it is so strong you can smell it unlike other cat toys we’ve had before. Definitely a great buy & will be getting others to store as backup!

A bit hit
Both my cats are getting on a bit now (12 & 15) but I decided to get them one of these each for Christmas - do glad I did as they have both been chasing & killing their ferret all over the house! The toys are a really good size & very realistic

one kitten likes it!

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.

The favourite toy
The ferret is still my cats' favourite toy. I buy them one from time to time. Valerian has a very strong smell, so don't be surprised—yes, it smells strong, and yes, that's normal. But as long as the cats are happy, that's what matters most to me.

Top notch
One of the best toys I've bought for my cat—he reacts instantly to the smell, rolls on the floor, and plays with it for about 10 to 15 minutes. My other cat, who usually doesn't respond to catnip, actually reacts to this toy and plays with it too 🥰

Sheds long fibres that can be swallowed
Actually popular, apparently smells great. Encourages licking, and that's exactly the problem: the faux fur is very loosely woven, the long fibres come off easily and end up being swallowed. Not good at all.

Ferret kick
These ferrets are absolutely amazing. I already had one for my old cat, and even at 18 years old and in a weakened state, she still had her crazy five minutes with it. And now with the two kittens, it's a real hit. Luckily, there are two in the pack so each one has their own to carry around, knead, lie on, bite into, and drool over. They drag it off like prey and take it to their hiding spot—I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

I recommend
I expected my cat to go crazier with it after reading the comments, but with a bit of encouragement she can really wrestle that ferret toy with her teeth and paws. As for the smell, well, the most important thing is that the cat likes it. :)

This is terrifying!
Oh gosh, how awful it smells :((( It reeks like decomposing human remains or some other creature, like a mix of vomit and faeces :(((
But the cat doesn’t mind (she’s not disgusted by the stench) and even played with it at first ;)
I ripped it open and poured out the stinky stuff they’d sewn inside. I’ll see if it’s possible to get rid of that smell. Every time I remember that stench, it makes me want to throw up :(((

Good
They're good, I bought two for my two five-month-old kittens and as soon as they arrived, they used them and played with them. But as the days go by, they hardly even look at them. They've got too many toys, just like kids.

Excellent
All the cats are thrilled; as soon as I opened the package, they immediately started sniffing around, rolling on the bag, and cuddling with the ferret. I'll order one for each cat.

Watch out for loose “hair”
Be careful with this one, make sure to thoroughly pluck out all the loose plastic hairs before giving it to your cat. There are loads of loose plastic strands that will fall out and end up in your cat’s stomach and intestines if you’re not careful (and maybe even if you are). With that in mind, I wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known. The cat definitely plays with it, but I’m not sure it’s worth the risk of her ending up with a stomach full of plastic hairs when she licks it. The quality doesn’t feel great.

Smells really bad
Nice toy to look at, but it smells soooo bad! Even after washing it, it still stinks. When I'm sitting on the sofa, I can just smell that thing lying next to me.
