AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
These valerian pillows are a hit with many cats, offering hours of playful fun and cuddles. However, some owners have found them less durable, with seams splitting and contents spilling out, especially for larger or more energetic cats. Despite the strong smell, which some find off-putting, many cats adore them, and they can be a delightful treat when used under supervision. Overall, they provide great entertainment and are loved by many feline friends.

Good but not cat proof
My cats love valerian however within about a minute one of the cats had ripped the fabric open... still one of the pillows has survived longer than 5 minutes.
Pillowy goodness
two small cushions played with and loved by our male Snowshoe. Female less interested but he adores them.

Brilliant
These are brilliant. All the cats love them including the cats that is in the bag, they lie on that & cuddle & salvia all over the pillows. Well worth it for the peace & tranquillity that comes with these.

My cat isn't interested
The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is simply because my cat isn't interested in it at all. He sniffed it but it seems to do nothing for him.
There is a very strong valerian smell to the pillows which are beautifully made and very attractive!

I've become a kitty drug dealer! :)
I knew my cats loved Valerian s0 when I saw these cushions, I just knew I had to get them. When I started emptying the box (I bought several other items), one of my cats jumped on the counter and was immediately drawn to the cushions...and they weren't even out of the packaging yet! All 4 cats were in the kitchen, playing with just 2 cushions.
Hubby told me I had to get more! Definitely a winner in our house!
Enjoyment
All my cats go absolutely wild for these pillows. They have hours of fun & no mess. Would highly recommend them to any cat owners.

Great fun for cats
Great for cats they go mad for it

My cats love them!
Amazing, I've never seen such enthusiasm from my cats for anything. Even better than catnip for them. Warning to humans -smells like gone off cheese or seriously bad feet - but this is part of the attraction for felines. Will definitely buy again.

My 4 cats love them
If I'd known what a hit these little pillows would be with my cats I'd have ordered more. I'm now ordering 8 more packs as I've got several other cat lovers interested in them too. Not all of mine like catnip but ALL of them LOVED these 😀

Cats loved them but didn't last 24 hours
As soon as the delivery arrived (and after the cats had inspected the box) we gave the pillows to ours cats. They went crazy playing with them, we've never seen them react like that to a new toy.
Unfortunately they managed to rip open one of the pillows in less than 24 hours (by ripping the material, not the stitching). The other one is still intact but I'm not sure how much longer it'll last. Good idea, but poor quality material.

Amazing for cats.
Once I opened the box after delivery, my cat could instantly smell the pillows. He was so eager to play with them, he jumped in the box and tried to open the bag to get to them.
As soon as I put one of them on the floor the fun times began. He rubbed is face and head all over them, biting and throwing it around with his paws. He couldn't get enough of it. I can honestly say these are so much better than catnip which my kitty didn't really bother with. Definitely purchasing more.

Audrey of Dundee
I just opened the box which contained a number of items besides the valerian pillows, when my Steafan leapt on top of the pillows and that was just the beginning. He loved the pillow I gave him and the smell to me was horrific. Like the utmost in sweaty socks! But he loved it and that's what matters. He had such a lovely time and will again

Step aside catnip ...
My cats absolutely LOVE these. They rub their faces on it, roll over, bite it, hold it with their front paws and kick it with their back paws. First time I've given them this; and they're in their element. Goodbye catnip, hello Baldini Valerian Pillow.
|
Obviously good for others but not our cat
Out of the bag our cat was immediately on it, biting and playing, but after this first time, as with catnip, he showed no interest or reaction. The pillows are a good size for play - 10.5cm x 7cm x 1.5cm. Obviously good for others but not our cat.

Valerian Pillows
Both my British shorthair boys go crazy for these but they really do stink of sweaty feet! Well worth the money and the smell if it makes them happy :)
|
My cat loves these as they actually have a scent!
Unlike a lot of the catnip toys I've brought, these have a strong scent which my cat loves, he goes crazy for these and dribbles all over the pillows, they have retained their scent too so make a great value toy with none of the mess of dried valerian.

I think these things are disgusting. They smell like feet but I am ashamed to say that my two very royal Ragdoll cats go potty for them. Definitely worth the moderate price to keep them happy, but be warned - they really do STINK!
|
Wow
I wasn't too impressed when I first opened the bag as to us humans they don't smell too good but my two fur babies went daft with them, kicking and flinging them. Can safely say I'll be getting more of these little gems :)

Hilarious And Fantastic Kittie Fun
my two cats went mental over these little gems they rolled and rolled, bit them, clawed them and rolled some more. Had fantastic giggles when I hid them beds and under their blankets. Highly recommended and I WILL be ordering again.
Good
Smell lovely, last quite a while, can be sprayed etc when smell starts to fade, my cat rolled and rolled over them, enjoying them.

Overwhelming stench
My kitten won't even go near them. They smell so bad... so much that the whole room ended up reeking.
I threw them out straight away.
NEVER AGAIN

SUPER Baldinis
We love these little Baldinis. Our cats play really rough with them, but they still hold up. We're delighted. The value for money is brilliant :) !!

Baldini Cat Lick Bag with Valerian
Unfortunately, the fabric isn’t nearly as nice as it looks in the picture. It also smells really bad (although one of the cats likes the smell).

Smelled bad!
My cat backed away when I put them out and didn’t want to go near them because they smelled so bad. I just had to throw them in the bin.

Smitten!
My older cat went absolutely crazy (I’d never offered her anything with catnip before). She plays with it, squeezes and licks it, and practically gets lost in the scent...
Luckily, I tied one to a long string, the other one has already disappeared.
For my (admittedly sensitive) nose, the smell is too strong, so I keep the sachets outside on the balcony.

One out of two torn within minutes
Very disappointed with the quality of the fabric. One of the two cushions tore after just a few minutes and spread its filling all over the living room. The second one is holding up for now, but I'm wary...

Has lasted 3 months and is still loved 😻
I tried out the cushions because of the price, and now I'm about to order more. That's when I read the surprisingly good reviews. Blitz, our pretty wild tomcat who usually tears things apart, has loved the cushion since mid-April—so for about 3 months now. He cuddles with it, licks it, gets all excited and relaxed at the same time. And even after all this time, he still does it every now and then. The cushion just lies around here, and when he comes home from his adventures, he snuggles up on it 🐻
We think they're brilliant!

Poor
No interest at all from either the 4-month-old kitten or the 3-year-old neutered cat, can't smell anything.

Valerian Pillows
Very good product, it has a calming effect on my cats. They really enjoy playing with them and nibbling on them. Catnip doesn't work on ours, but valerian does.

Not great
Nauseating smell and the cat played with it for five minutes before I had to get rid of it because the smell was just unbearable.

Effective for everyone
I bought the pouch for my cats thinking they’d play a bit more calmly, and I ended up buying some for my friends’ cats too. It was a hit with all of them!

Smells awful and the cats ignore it.
My cats didn’t play with it at all. Even worse, the cushion smells absolutely awful, like cheesy feet, and the whole flat is filled with the stench. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it.
