5 out of 5 starsIt is so well made, sturdy and thick, and the catnip smells really fresh. This is the cutest donut toy I've seen, if you're looking for a similar toy on Amazon absolutely forget it because they will not last like this one will. My kitten loves it when I roll it on its side for her.

5 out of 5 starsMy cat Luna loves her pop tart toys! I got one in a subscription box and she has worn it out so I came to Etsy to find a replacement and this one has done the trick! She is 12 years old so she mostly just licks it and falls asleep on it but if she’s happy, I’m happy!

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!

5 out of 5 starsAlways goes above and beyond, excellent customer service. This order has been a little very bittersweet as I placed this when I still had my little girl alive to celebrate her remission day, when I lost her I felt I should celebrate her life. I decided to make a trip to WA with some friends to Mt. Rainier to remember Fleas as this was our special place.

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.
