Catstages Green Magic Dynamite Stick Catnip Cat Toy

This is the third Dynamite Stick I have purchased. My revolving foster cats LOVE this toy and one of my resident cats has had his for 2+ years. It's flat and worn but it's one of only 2 toys with which he wants to play. Whatever type of catnip is in the stick apparently stays forever! Great toy, great price, very well made. Definitely recommend for cat lovers or as a gift for a cat lover.

My cats can't get enough!

Not sure why this product is named "Green Magic Dynamite Stick" when it's clearly a red stick of dynamite...other than maybe the "green magic" that's inside of this thing!! 😂 HOW MANY TIMES, as a pet owner has it happened where you come across a toy that claims to be infused with or contain "silvervine and/or catnip", to buy it and end up with your cat having precisely ZERO interest in that toy? They aren't cheap, either --on average, a toy containing silvervine and/or catnip runs anywhere from $8-$23. Even purchasing the catnip and/or silvervine separately the product will typically run between $9-$17 depending on sourcing and the quality of the product. IT IS EXHAUSTING AND EXPENSIVE, and after a while as a pet owner you just give up on those kinds of toys, right? It becomes this sort of "Hey, if it's true & it works, then great--but I'm not spending a million dollars on it for it not to. If it's relatively cheap, then sure--why not?" I have two grown cats, four 5-month old kittens and a brand new litter of 5 3-week old kittens. Finding enrichment for them is a CONSTANT struggle, so I try to aim for simplicity and inexpensiveness when evaluating potential toys--cats can be destructive little monsters, lol. So, when I saw these dynamite sticks for sale at just over $3 each, I figured "Hey, why not? Worst case they hate them--and then I'm only out $3." As soon as the first one arrived, upon opening it I IMMEDIATELY realized this was different from virtually every other catnip-filled product & toy I had purchased previously. For one, I could actually SMELL the catnip inside of it. It wasn't overpowering or anything --just enough to know it was ACTUALLY THERE and not mostly filler the way other catnip products typically are. Most of you who have handled catnip know that ideally you need to crush it and release the scent and oil to stimulate and entice your cat, right? With the cylindrical shape of this toy I found that EXTREMELY EASY to do, simply rubbing it and rolling it between my hands to crush the catnip inside of it before tossing it to my kittens to see what would happen. I didn't have to wait long. 😳🔥🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🔥 Now, none of my kittens are the kind that I would say typically have "extreme reactions" to catnip or silvervine. They might enjoy it for a while, but then get bored and wander off. But this? THIS EAS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT--within seconds my female dilute tortie had wrapped her whole body around the dynamite stick and began furiously rubbing it all over herself, while the other 3 became obsessed with prying it away from her, only to do the exact same thing themselves once they had it wrapped within their paws. One of them turned into a little monster and began gnawing and furiously kicking at the dynamite stick to release more of the catnip before abandoning it entirely to just flail on his back on the floor, purring like a motorboat flailing paws and tail while swishing against the carpet where the dynamite stick had been. Not gonna lie--IT WAS THE MOST BAFFLINGLY HILARIOUS THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! 😂🐈‍⬛🐈🔥🎉 By the time they had all had a turn this poor dynamite stick was all out of *boom*. Amazingly though despite four kittens with sharp claws and razor sharp teeth tearing and gnawing and biting and kicking the absolute bejeezus out of this thing, it held its durability and integrity amazingly well--not a scratch!! Now burnt out with energy spent, I put the toy away knowing that cat's won't react to catnip the same way for about two days after it's introduced. I quickly realized that this might be one of the top 5 toys I've ever found for these little monsters. Quick like bunny I went back to Amazon to purchase FOUR MORE STICKS because I know, eventually, the catnip inside them will have been expended of its utility...but at just over $3 per stick I can EASILY justify purchasing more of them and keeping them on standby for when the first one eventually burns out 😇 TLDR, this toy is a safe, effective product for bringing hours of play and stimulation to your cat. It actually contains the catnip and silvervine that it claims to contain, and at just over $3 per stick even if your cat doesn't fully respond to it the way you'd like them to, the price is so low that it's worth it to try. So what are you waiting for?? Go get one, or five of these!! They're amazing--you srsly won't regret it.

Cats love!

My cat goes crazy for these and they last forever! Ive tried tons of different toys and he just gives me blank stares but when one of these shows up he goes nuts and gets so happy. I think these will make it 7 of them he has and he plays with every one of them still. The price is on point so im sure after a while my place will just be filled with em, its the only toy i trust buying him

It’s not much bigger than the regular little mousies, but my kitten whacks it around. Unfortunately, she seems to want all my stuff rather than the toys that I bought her. She’s adorable though so she can have what she wants as long as it won’t hurt her.

The kids just absolutely love it. They play with it regularly. Very good item. Nice quality and definitely something they’ll enjoy for years to come.

Five Paws Up for the Catnip Dynamite! Meow! Bill and Ted here, and we have to tell you about the absolute best thing that’s ever happened in our nine lives: the catnip toy dynamite! Our human looked at it and said, “I don’t know if you guys will like this…” Pfft. As if they know anything about true feline joy! From the moment this glorious toy hit the floor, we were hooked. The scent? Pure magic. The texture? Perfect for bunny kicks and face rubs. Bill immediately claimed it as his prey, while I, Ted, swooped in for a surprise ambush. We rolled, we pounced, we drooled a little (no shame), and we have been obsessed ever since. Our human tried to take it away once, mumbling something about “break time.” HA! We staged a full cuddle-and-paw blockade until they surrendered the dynamite back to its rightful owners. In conclusion: Human opinions are irrelevant. Catnip dynamite is life. 10/10 whisker twitches. Would recommend to every self-respecting feline.

It was a gift to a cat owning friend. Cat loves it, wont let anyone take it from her.

Super et amusant. Mon chat l’a testé et il approuve autant que moi ! Et j’en ai commandé un autre pour le chat de ma petite fille. On verra si le jouet est toujours aussi apprécié, mais je pense que oui ! À part la livraison bof mais sinon, tout est bon !👍😊

the cat loved it and played with it a lot. It had some bit marks and scratches but still intact. Good quality

Good one

Cat seems to enjoy it. Appears to be well made. Two paws up.
