5 out of 5 starsMy order arrived within two days of ordering! I ordered two of the Ghost cookies and both of my cats loved them! I have purchased multiple products from Fido and always like to get new festive cookies for different holidays. The girls love them- they even love playing with the wrapping! I especially loved the personal touch that came with these cookies - I received a hand written thank you card and an adorable catnip filled jelly bean toy for the girls as well! I have made multiple purchases from Fido the Cat and will continue to. Theses make great gifts for friends and family with cats too!!

5 out of 5 starsMy cat (Brie) absolutely loves her happy birthday cake toy! The second I took it out of the box and gave it to her she immediately started investigating it, then very shortly after was rolling around on it and doing the bunny kicks. It’s a very thick felt so I’m not worried about her tearing through it. Janise was great to work with, and even sent me a picture of the cake to see how it looked before she mailed it. And she even wrote a cute little birthday card to Brie and I and included it in the package (when we were chatting before she mailed the toy, I told her that my birthday was October 11th and the shelter I got Brie from told us her birthday was October 13th). I would definitely order more toys for Brie from Janise’s shop again! CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HERE WE COME!

5 out of 5 starsMy kitties love their new tutti fruiti toys! I ordered one batch with catnip and one without catnip as a bit of an experiment. I store them in the same baggie so they all seem to interest our 3 three-year-olds, but I think they react to the catnip ones a bit more!

Happy Monday!

Shop policies
Fido the Cat is a place where you can find handcrafted “food” and “whimsical” catnip cat toys. When I create “food” toys, I focus on the details. Make them look as realistic as possible. Creating “fun/novelty” toys, I try to make them whimsical. Each cat toy is individually handmade by me. I am perfectionist. I do understand handmade is never perfect and the small imperfections make each one unique and special. It is part of the charm.
All the cat toys are filled with organic catnip grown in the USA. Catnip-free cat toys are also available.
