Catstages Loaf Kicker Interactive Cat Toy with Catnip & Dental Mesh, 6.5"

We just adopted a 3 year old orange male cat after our previous cat passed. So far, cats we've had have not been much into toys but I saw these crinkle fish on Amazon, got them and out cat adores them. But he's beat the stuffing (literally) out of them. Still loves them (cats - go figure) but I wanted to try to find a cat toy that would hold up under his assaults a bit better. I saw this and it's so darn cute I decided to try it. Our cat Biscuit absolutely loves this, works it over like a champ but it is holding up! So far no rips or tears or stuffing showing and he really gives it a lot of tough love. So I highly recommend this cat toy. It is really tough, holds up well and is a real cat pleaser!

My cats LOVE these. The catnip is potent and they are so well made. Our kitties have all of their claws and these are very durable. They love playing and kicking with them. They will even pick them up on occasion and carry them across the room. We will definitely purchase again.

My oldest cat is obsessed with this pickle catnip toy! Our neighbors gave us the pickle and a hotdog catnip toy about 8 months ago. Neither of our 2 cats care at all about the hotdog. Our oldest thinks it’s his alone, he gets very upset if his younger brother wants to play with it! So I bought 4 pickles- a couple for when his current pickle is pickled (it’s getting quite dirty!) and a backup, and 2 pickles for his younger brother! The oldest sleeps with it, uses it as a pillow, and kicks and bites it into submission. The neighbors can not believe how much he loves it!

My kitten almost a year old loves it and it's very cute the noise level would be medium not to loud but it's only because of the front or back I'm shocked that he hasn't tear it yet

3 out of 4 cats love these pickles. I bought 1 then I realized I needed backups so I bought 3 more. The fourth cat who doesn't like it isn't receptive to catnip so no catnip toys work on him. He did have FIP and a diabetic seizure so his brain is a little different now. But he's still functioning fine just doesn't react to catnip. Oh well more catnip toys for the other 3. This is one durable toy because they throw these pickles around and they are still in one pickle piece. I did take off the back mesh because my cats were chewing it off I didn't want them to eat any of it and cause an obstruction so I removed that on all of the pickles. I even removed it off the other cat stages teether toys like the loaf of bread. Just a heads up. So far they haven't ripped it or gotten teeth marks in it unlike a certain banana catnip toy. I think for the strength of the catnip and the strength of the fabric it was well worth the money. The catnip scent is still going strong and these were bought months ago. In fact the original pickle was bought a couple of years ago before I bought the backup pickles and it's still my tuxedo cats favorite pickle. He's asleep with the original pickle in the first photo.

Too heavy for a cat toy but the dog loves it!

The Catstages Loaf Kicker Toy manages to balance goofy aesthetic charm with genuine functional design for active cats. Shaped like a tiny loaf of bread, its elongated profile is sized just right for energetic indoor cats who love to grab, bite, and execute those classic hind-leg bunny kicks. The combination of dense plush fabric, crinkly interior paper, and enticing catnip stuffing creates an instant multi-sensory draw, keeping energetic pets engaged in solo play for far longer than standard stuffed mice or simple ball toys. Beyond being a fun outlet for hunting instincts, the integration of special mesh fabric along the outer surface serves a smart secondary purpose. As your cat bites and chews into the toy during play, the textured dental mesh gently flosses teeth and helps scrape away soft tartar, supporting better oral hygiene in a completely stress-free way. The added ribbon streamers on the end provide extra movement to trigger pouncing, making it a well-rounded, durable plaything that holds up to daily tossing, biting, and kicking.

Not too big, kitty loves it!

Wow! Plays like cracy and really kicker play with it and bites. Very high quality!

Assolutamente consigliata! La mia gattina ne va matta

This toy did not have the crinkle sound nor feel as I had expected. It was quite hard and the smell did not attract my cat at all.

El material se ve bueno y resistente a las uñas de los gatos, por dentro tiene una recubierta que hace ruido similar a una bolsa cuando la aprietas. Le encanta a mi gato adulto pero el pequeño parece no llamarle la atención, quizá aún es pequeño para encontrarlo recreativo

My cat is loving her new toy. She immediately wanted to play with it. The pickle is the perfect size for her because she isn’t a huge cat. I bought her another kicker but she got scared of it I believe due to it being longer than her. Time will tell if she comes back to it again and again, but so far I’m happy with the money I’ve spend. I like the differet materials used that will keep my cat interested and that there are materials included to help brush her teeth is a bonus. The design is cute and feels well made. It’s quite firm, so I feel like it will last her a while before she chews it to death.
