5 out of 5 starsThese are the perfect size Jelly Beans to carry all around the house and play fetch with. I have to keep extra on hand now because if Luella misplaces hers, she wanders around yelling for it. They are her absolute favorite!

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.

Yes, it was scary to the customer and me), it will take a day or two for the USPS system to reset by removing the previous customer’s package information and update with your current package information.
