The Best Catnip Toys and Treats That’ll Have Your Cat Riding High

Inspired by pre-fab architect Marcel Breuer, the Kitty Breuer toy is built with the philosophy that form follows function. Designed for your cat to easily grip with their paws and claws, the toy is stuffed with a bell ball and catnip, while having a soft exterior that’s gentle on your cat’s chompers.

Made with two cat-coveted textures — crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside — the Tiny Tiger catnip-filled treats are the perfect snack for cats with a craving. Free of any artificial flavors and preservatives, they’ll help clean your cat’s teeth, and the intriguing scent of catnip will keep them coming back for more.

Made in Los Angeles, Merci Collective’s Crystal Catnip is packaged in a reusable glass container to maintain potency, which means you can feel good about its sustainability factor.

Sometimes, the simplest delivery model is best. These organic catnip “joints” are pretty convincing: hand-rolled and sealed in cloth wrappers to look just like your favorite pre-rolls, but 100 percent cat-safe. Just make sure to keep them separate from your own stash — catnip doesn’t work on humans. 

This corrugated cardboard scratcher comes with a pouch of premium catnip to turn it into a psychedelic jungle gym for your cat.

Catnip is a natural appetite stimulant, so your cat might get the munchies. And while they can’t chow down on real pizza, they can gnaw on this adorable felt slice, complete with tiny anchovies. Order several to make a whole pie.

If your cat doesn’t respond to catnip, give silvervine a try. Derived from a plant native to Japan and China, some studies have shown it to be even more attractive to cats than catnip.
