Stinky but they love it!
The best toy despite the smell. My 3 cats all love it! The most interest they’ve shown in any toy!
Great toy after tweaks
When I first got the toy it absolutely reeked of valerian, so much so that my cat didn't want to go near it. Also, the fur came off when handled; I brushed out the loose hair very thoroughly, then put it in the toy box and forgot about it.
A few weeks later I found it again, now less smelly, and when I showed it to my cat she was instantly on it and all over it. Now a firm favourite to chew, kick, roll, snuggle and snooze on. She runs to it when I ask her where her ferret friend is!
My cat loves it
Great toy, I think this must be his favourite
Stinky but fun!
As soon as I got this toy out of the packet, he went crazy for it. It kept him busy for a good 40 minutes and then he cuddled up with it to sleep off the high 😁
A word of warning though: this toy absolutely STINKS. You can smell it from across the room.

Very Poor Quality
Shocked at the poor quality of this toy. After 2 days it has gone into the bin.
Our 2 kits took to the toy straight away, however, when our 13-year-old 'Ollie' played with it the fur on the toy kept coming away with the result that he ate it and suffered fur balls. The final straw was today when having his lunch of soup he vomited the whole lot up along with another hairball from the toy.
Our cat's welfare comes first so the Aumuller Ferret Cat Toy went straight into the bin.

Ferret toy
All of my cats loved it,but one of them nearly choked on some of the fur, it comes away from the toy when ragged in play. This is the only issue I had with it. Otherwise it’s been loved,beaten,slept on and with. Don’t think there is anything you can do about the fur coming loose when being ragged,but just thought it was worth a mention just in case there is something you can do for the safety of cats

A must have in this household
I got one of these when they were free with the reward points. Since then I've bought many more. All 4 of my cats adore it and 1 of them hates catnip/silvervine ect. I'm very happy with the product. It's cheap and cheerful, very very long lasting as we've had one for 18 months and with four cats constantly at it, there's no holes, rips or tears. There is plenty of catnip inside and it' still has a very strong catnip odor 18 months on. It is a good buy and a must have for all catnip connoisseurs.

My cats can't get enough of it!
Never had my kitties love a toy this much!! Highly recommend

It’s stinky and the cats LOVE it!! Ordering another one
Having to order another one as the cats have decided they’re now not interested any of their other 1000 toys they have, only this one. It gets dragged around the house, slobbered on, kicked, thrown around.
Brilliant!!

Ugly toy but cat likes it
Looks horrendous but the cat likes it. I can’t get over the look though

Loves it!
After trying other toys and him showing no interest..this one he loves!

Stinky toy
Absolutely stinks like a sweaty scrotey ballbag but my Maine Coon absolutely loves it. If she loves it, I’m happy!
Cats love but fur comes out
All my cats love this but the fluff comes out hence 4 rather than 5 stars - one of my cats rips the fur off toys!

Stinky but the cats love it
Yes, it smells pretty bad when you take it out of the bag it comes in. The cats could smell it through the bag and all of them went nuts for it. So I’m going to have to get them all one now, especially as the dog nicked it (didn’t do anything for her, she just loves stealing and destroying the cats’ toys). Highly recommended

Top shelf cat drugs.
Okay, let's be honest: this thing stinks. I advise keeping the zip lock bag, getting it out for play time and then returning it to the bag. That said, my cats and the ones I've given to feline friends go absolutely potty for it. Cat nip doesn't come close, this is cat drugs on a whole new level.

Crazy Calming
Roxy went crazy with this, loved it. Hind legs kicked, fur pulled... After a while of playing she calmed down and fell asleep.

Mr Stinky is loved by Bengal
Cat jumped in delivery box wailing to get Mr Stinky and drooled all over it while kicking it. He loves it. If only we could obtain stinky spray for his other toys.
A hit with the cat but appeal fades quickly
Don't be put off by the comments about the smell, it's really not that bad at all and you don't notice it after a day or so. The cat loved it and went nuts over it for a few days but then clearly the smell wears off a bit and it loses its appeal. One to bring out for a playtime then wrap up and hide again to try and preserve the effect.

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.
