Finding rocks inside Chandler’s store-bought toy inspired our founder to create Crochet Kitty. Pet toys in the U.S. aren’t held to the same mandatory safety standards as children’s toys, so we make thoughtful materials and careful construction our starting point. Every whimsical design grows from that commitment to the cat you love.

We put our sewing and design experience into the details that matter: reinforced seams, fabric stabilizers for added strength, securely stitched attachments, and embroidered details instead of glued-on decorations. We consider how cats grab, bite, pull, and kick as we develop each design, so our construction supports the way they actually play.

Follow your cat’s favorite way to play. Lightweight toys suit batting and chasing, while flexible mats give cats something to hold and bunny-kick. For senior cats, try gentle movement at floor level so they can engage without jumping. Choose an appropriate size and let your cat set the pace.

Many cats love catnip, but some naturally don’t respond and young kittens may not respond yet. Your cat may prefer chasing, crinkle sounds, or a toy they can grab and kick. Start with how they already like to play, and explore our Shop by Play Style collections to find a match.

Our tea-grade catnip is grown on a Canadian farm specializing in herbs, including catnip. We bring that fragrant goodness to your cat’s toy box to encourage sniffing, rolling, and playful moments.

We fill our catnip toys with tea-grade catnip—including flower buds—from a Canadian farm specializing in herbs. Depending on the design, each toy contains two tablespoons to half a cup of catnip. Squeezing, rolling, and scrunching helps crush the buds and release their natural aroma, giving your cat more to discover through repeated play.

We’ve found our catnip can retain its scent for over a year, and customers have shared stories of their cats enjoying our toys for years. Squeezing helps release aroma from the flower buds inside. To help preserve that scent, store toys completely dry in an airtight container between play sessions and rotate favorites.

A little cleanup keeps their favorites ready for play. For everyday care, use a lint roller to lift fur and spot clean fabric surfaces with a damp cloth. Let toys dry completely before returning them to your cat.

Catnip itself is generally safe for dogs in small amounts, but eating too much can upset their stomach. Our toys are designed for cats and aren’t intended as dog chew toys. Keep them out of your dog’s reach, and ask your veterinarian before intentionally giving your dog catnip.
