I think Alfie approves
My boy hasn't put this toy down since it arrived!

Smells really bad
My cats loved this and immediately played with it as soon as it was out the box, but it smells REALLY BAD. Like wet dog. And the smell sticks to other things - I kept it in the cupboard and my jacket ended up reeking.

Our cats' favourite and smelliest toy
Our two cats go WILD for this toy. Something about it drives them mad rubbing themselves all over it and playing with it and sucking on it. However, (to human noses, anyway) it smells AWFUL. If you can deal with the smell, your cats will thank you. We keep ours in a bag and only bring it out every once in a while and one of our cats even goes mad for the bag it is stored in, rolling all over it.

Their favourite toy!
This is a bit stinky when you first open it but that soon goes and this is the one toy they havent got bored of in 2.5 years. My two middle aged cats absolutely love it. It is big enough that they can bunny kick it without hitting themselves which can be a hazard of smaller toys. Have gifted to a friend and her cats love it too.

Sadly faulty
I opened this and gave it to my cat who absolutely loved it straight away, however not even a minute in I noticed there was catnip everywhere. I understand toys don’t last but upon inspection there was an opening that didn’t have any stitching at all. Unsure of this is intentional for refilling. But my living room is now doused in this smelly cat nip. Cats having a blast though!

Cat is going crazy for it
My cat loves it, absolutely going crazy after it. Powerful smell.

Favourite toy ever
Oh my, Pippa loves this toy. We only have to go to the cupboard where we keep it and she comes rushing over with such an expectant look on her face - it’s really cute! She pounces on it, rolls about, bunny kicks it, then drools all over it and gives it a cuddle. Luckily she seems to ration herself, and after five minutes she walks away, so we quickly put it back in it’s bag and put it away, cos it does pong a bit! But definitely, the best value toy we’ve ever bought her.

Fantastic
It smells like a$$ but cats love it. Will Order another one.

A real hit with our cat
A surprising favourite for our cat as previously he's only liked the very small toys. The combination of ingredients was a big hit with our cat and I didn't mind the smell but my wife really dislikes it. A bonus is that unlike the small toys the Ferret toy wasn't ripped apart after just a few plays. I would definitely get this again.

Cats love it, but it smells strong
Both of my cats liked playing with this and instantly took to it when it arrived, however it smells pretty bad. I put it back in the packaging and store it away when not being played with.

Fab
My two cats love these. As soon as the walk into the lounge they empty their toy box for these every day. My son came one day and brought his lurcher puppy and even the puppy made a bee line for the cats toy box and dragged out these straight away and spent hours playing with them. They malt a bit but they do stop shedding after a while
Cats love it
Both my cats love this! it's their favourite toy so I got them a second on as well, one for each :)

Cats loved it - but the smell!
The cats loved it but - this toy absolutely pongs. Wet dog, smelly feet, old… mouldy…cheesy…dunno what, but it’s bad. And pungent. As in it stunk the room out to the point where I had to assign it it’s very own plastic box with tight lid while I decided whether to bin it or not. Which I did. And the box. That stunk too. Not to be underestimated.

All of my cats Favourite toy
Out of all the cat toys I’ve ever bought these ferrets are the only ones that all my cats react too. They love it and it’s great to kicking and getting energy out!

Very nice
My kitten loving it.

Cat's Favourite
Has been a great favourite with all the cats. They look so proud when they carry it. My Siamese & I used to play fetch when he was a kitten. I would lie in bed & throw it for him. He would bring it back until he tired & then I could go to sleep in peace.
It's also one of my little terrier's favourite toys. Am about to buy another as it's looking worse than dead since it found it's way into the garden.

Cats love it
My cats went mental for it, unfortunately like most toys it airs out quickly
Cats love it
It looks like road kill and smells unpleasant to me but obviously not my three cats who all love licking, chewing and bunny kicking it. One in particular rolls around the floor with it like he’s high on drugs, which I guess given it’s ingredients he kind of is!
|
Favourite toy
My cats love these, us humans not so much as they are very smelly.
Once the smell dies back to us the cats still love them. Best toy value wise.

Cats LOVE it!
All three cats went crazy for this thing, throwing it around and kicking it. I had to buy another to stop them fighting over it!
Had them for a couple of months now and they still drag them around to play. Great toy and cheap too.

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.
