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.

Awful smell

The smell was strong enough to leave their scent on fabrics. And it wasn't perfume. Unfortunately (or fortunately) even our young cats seemed put off and walked away after sniffing.

Not at all durable!

My cat loved it, but he's a maine coon so he's big and quite strong, it lasted literally seconds before he'd ripped it wide open and spilled the contents everywhere. These need to be more durable... a lot more!

Not interested

My cats hardly even sniffed these let alone played with them

Just a Mess

After 30 seconds of giving it to my cat, the toy broke and made a mess all over my house :(

Tears open fast

I assumed this toy was suitable for cats and their claws /teeth but sadly they were both torn open within a few days and I had a massive mess all over my home Ridiculous!

Torn to pieces within minutes

I didn’t open the box straight away but my cat could smell these toys and set about trying to open the box herself. I gave her a hand and she was straight in to get the bag with the pillows. After wrestling the plastic bag from her, I gave her one of them…which she destroyed within minutes of giving it to her. Same happened with the second pillow at a later date. Glad I bought these with points because they didn’t last long at all!

Dangerous!

The material is so thin on these Valerian pillows that the first time my cat got hold of it the material split and all the contents spilled out. Luckily I was there so she didn't eat any of the seeds they are full of. I wouldn't even give them 1*

Destroyed within 5 minutes

Don't even bother with these. My cat, who isn't normally fussed by catnip loved the sound and smell of these, but the cover is only a normal cotton, not hard wearing at all. Certainly not a great choice for sharp teeth and claws. One split down the middle and the other got a big hole in the corner. Within 5 minutes both bags had torn and spilling contents (unusable). What a waste. Can't upload photos for some reason.

Bad smell

They went straight in the bin they smell terrible

Not working

My kittens coudn't care less about this toy. Not for the smell, nor for the noise. Not too expensive but still a bit disappointing.

Awfully smelly

These little pillows look really cute. Unfortunately, they smell very peculiar. A little like sweaty shoes-not at all pleasant! I have 3 cats and all looked at me with complete disdain when they received their new gift. They will sadly be put in the bin.

Poor quality

This product is paper thin one of my cats had it ripped to shreds in seconds with the contents everywhere, the other cat wasn't interested, I suppose it was worth a try for the price.

Stinky!

These bags stunk out the place! What an awful smell! And my catnip-loving mogs showed no interest whatsoever. Waste of money for me!

Cats Love Valerian but....

One of my cats ripped the toy open within seconds! Not robust enough to withstand a cat going bonkers for Valerian (as they do!). It's a shame because these are great toys but I can't give more than a 1 star review when one of them is in pieces.

Cat not interested

Unfortunately my older cat showed no interest in these pillows.

Horrendous smell

I've never purchased anything with valerian in it before, so I thought it would be worth giving a try. As such, I'm not sure if the intense, disgusting smell of these pillows is normal for the product or not. Before we'd even opened the package there was a strong smell of what could only be compared to vomit, and when it was opened it was even worse. It made the entire room smell, for days. On top of that, my cat couldn't have been less interested after the first 30 seconds. A complete flop.

Smelly

These smell awful (like poo!) and my 3 cats aren't particularly interested in them.

Broken within 3 seconds

Gave it to my cat and it was already broken after just 3 seconds, bit of a shame.

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

Baldini Cat Toy with Valerian

Unfortunately, the fabric isn’t nearly as nice as it looks in the picture. It also smells really bad (though one of the cats actually 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.

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.

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.

Fun, but only for a very short time

The cats went absolutely wild straight away. Really fun to watch them play like that. Unfortunately, everything was broken within 5 minutes and the entire contents were all over the floor. Maybe it's more suitable for small and gentle cats.

Valerian sachets

The target language you specified is "🇬🇧 Irish," which seems to be a mix of English (UK) and Irish (Gaeilge). Please clarify if you want the translation in English (UK) or in Irish (Gaeilge). For now, I will provide the translation in English (UK): The pouches smelled like the valerian inside had gone bad, the stench of rot was awful. The cats were super happy, but the whole flat stank so much that after a few minutes it all went straight into the bin. It's a shame no one checks this.

Fun for cats, not for me

My two cats got to work on it straight away: licking, biting. Personally, I can't stand the smell of the sachets. They smell like manure indoors. Put them back in a plastic bag. The cats bit through the bag to get them back again.
