Reaction with Cats
This is a pet (cat) product. It has been played with by thousands of cat’s, but due to us not knowing how to communicate with a cat, we can’t guarantee it will work on all cats. We love cats and try our best, but will not accept a return if you cat doesn’t decide to play with it. We have fixed costs and labor that need to be cover. Every toy, in every video, is made the exact same each time one is created.
All videos and photos of cats playing with the Kitty Kick Stix are actual Cat Customers and not paid celebrities.
Each one is handmade and cats may react differently to this toy, therefore please make sure your cat does enjoy catnip as the toys can’t be returned.
Cats may become aggressive due to the cat nip scent and we cannot guarantee the strength of material with all cats. It is recommended all pets are supervised with the use of any pet toy, not just ours.
The smell is so STRONG my cat is STONED. Just like with ANY toy or ANY pet product, ANY pet should be supervised.
We are a family owned business and take time to handmake each one. We use ultra-potent catnip and mix it throughout the stix. Our catnip is grown in the USA and never sits out for more than 3 days – some of the strongest available. If you cat does have a reaction or becomes stoned, take the toy away, provide some water to your cat and turn on the TV. Your cat may need to take a ‘catnap’ for a bit before playing again.
Catnip, scientifically known as Nepeta cataria, is a herbaceous plant that belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is native to Europe and Asia, but it has become widespread and is now found in many regions around the world. Catnip is well-known for its effects on cats, as many cats exhibit a strong attraction to the plant.
The active compound responsible for the catnip's effects on cats is called nepetalactone. When cats come into contact with catnip, whether by smelling, licking, or rolling on it, they may exhibit various behaviors such as sniffing, licking, rubbing, rolling, and even hyperactive playfulness. These reactions typically last for about 10 to 15 minutes, after which the cat may lose interest. Not all cats are affected by catnip, as sensitivity to it is hereditary and not all cats possess the gene that makes them responsive to nepetalactone.
Catnip is safe for cats and is often used as a form of enrichment or as a training aid. Some cat toys are infused with catnip to encourage play. In addition to its effects on cats, catnip has been used in traditional medicine for humans to make herbal teas with mild sedative properties.
When cats come into contact with catnip, whether by smelling, licking, or rubbing against it, the nepetalactone binds to receptors in their nasal tissue, which then stimulates sensory neurons in the cat's olfactory epithelium. This stimulation leads to a variety of behaviors that are often associated with pleasure and play.
The exact mechanism by which nepetalactone affects cats is not fully understood, but it is believed to mimic feline pheromones, specifically those related to mating behaviors. In the wild, such scents may signal the presence of a potential mate or mark territory, so cats may be naturally drawn to catnip due to these instincts.
It's important to note that not all cats are affected by catnip, as sensitivity to it is inherited and not all cats possess the gene that makes them responsive to nepetalactone. Sensitivity to catnip is hereditary and is not related to a cat's age or gender. Additionally, after exposure to catnip, there is a refractory period during which a cat may not respond to catnip again until some time has passed. The effects of catnip are generally harmless, and it is considered a safe and enjoyable enrichment for many cats.

My cat is afraid of this toy 😱
Verified buyer
Great toy!
Verified buyer
My cat didn't really like it, but she's picky. Might be great for other cats
Verified buyer
There’s a reverse correlation between the price or sophistication of a cat toy and my cat’ enthusiasm for it as this thing once again demonstrated. My fairly playful Russian Blue and American Shorthair cats were far more interested in the box it arrived in. When will I learn?
Verified buyer
My dog loves this toy. He’s such a smart dog that I need to find new ways to challenge him. I love that it’s rechargeable. The battery lasted 3 days since arrival and I also kept accidentally setting it off. My dog is a small terrier and does not destroy toys - I don’t think this toy would survive a big dog or one that viciously chews. It’s the perfect size for him. He loves to run and chase it and he can toss it himself. The flipping keeps him entertained. I wanted an interactive toy for him to play with on his own when I work. Highly recommend!
Verified buyer
A fun interactive toy for my little kitter. I don't spoil her a whole lot, but she really like this toy and wiggles her bum and pounces. Very fun to watch!
Verified buyer
Very sturdy. Like the rechargeable feature.
Verified buyer
I have two boy kittens and they are FULL of energy right now. They need lots of interactive toys to get their energy out throughout the day. I ordered this as well as some balls through the same seller. With the ball order, she also sent an offer for me to choose one of two toys she would send to me for free—another flopping fish or a laser pointer. Since my boys already have a laser pointer, I ordered another flopping fish.At first they were a little confused, but they LOVE these so much. I just gave them to them today and they’re already their favorite interactive toys.Super inexpensive for the quality, it only flops when they hit it, and it’s super durable!
Verified buyer
my dog is enjoying it! And it hasn’t broken yet which is a very big deal since she is such a biter lol.
Verified buyer
My baby turned her nose to most toys, but she truly loves this toy and even licks it. 💜
Verified buyer
Very interesting it does charge does charge it can be reused and you can put actual catnip in it Depending upon the type of cat you have it'll provide hours for enjoyment for the cat and for you watching the cat
Verified buyer
My JackChi loved it so much. He wanted to take it apart. He succeeded! Though it lasted for 2 months not long enough to justify purchase. I did read that they guaranty satisfaction. I wonder what that means
Verified buyer
My brother has one and I saw his cats playing with it so I ordered one. My cats absolutely love it!
Verified buyer
I love that my cat can set this off himself and he seems to enjoy it. I just wish the motion was a little stronger because it loses his interest barely flopping around.
Verified buyer
Great cat toy, our 3 love these flopping fish. Very cool that they're rechargeable. Fun for people as well, lol!
Verified buyer
This is one funny fish! The first time we gave it to our cat, Dobby, he stepped back and would not approach.So we left it there and it stopped flipping. We didn't know it was motion controlled and neither did the cat.We were all shocked. But we left it where it laid and over a few days they reached an understanding.So be patient. He does enjoy it now.
Verified buyer
I got the carp patterned one and I didn’t think my skittish cat would like it but she’s been rolling around with it the moment I turned it on! If you have a cat that’s a big fan of catnip then this is definitely a cute find. Machine washable and comes with a usb cord to charge it, it’s a bit short but easy to find a usb type if needed.
Verified buyer
It's good my kitten is learning from the fish.
Verified buyer
My orange cat is a fat, aggressive and a total lunatic. He loves his floppy fish. If your cat needs some energy release, this toy is a great tool for it.
Verified buyer
My dog loved this fish! But I knew with it being cloth material she would tear it up in no time. In 3 days she ruined it but it was really cute & did exactly as advertised. Lol perfect for cats
Verified buyer
He loves to try and grab it. Does move too long or too loud. It is his favorite - ends up under things - that is its only down fall
Verified buyer
This toy is so great! Great fun for our kitty and for us watching her!
Verified buyer
Our son’s indoor cat loves this! Treat your cat to a good time without harming any outdoor wildlife. Easy to recharge. Well made, seems sturdy, even when kitty gets a bit too enthusiastic.
Verified buyer
First, my cat salivated over the card insert due to the catnip. Then came the fish. Attention was fantastic at first because of the catnip. However, she still has fun with the flippity-floppy fish now that catnip has diminished. This is worth the purchase price. Funny, it alarmed me at first when it was quiet and kitty started it flopping when I didn't know. Sounded like someone pounding on the door on hardwood. HA I recommend this for purchase if you've ever had doubts before. Has USB cord to charge it up, which saves on batteries.
Verified buyer
My cat liked this for about 5 seconds. I thought it was funnier when it was on the floor and startled my husband. Then my son started playing with it. My cat might not love it, but my family did. It was fun to play with.
Verified buyer
This automatic feeder works pretty well. It has the capacity for three feeding per day. I kinda wish it had 4 feeding times but overall it's good. I have it running on batteries and they've lasted for quite a long time. Around 2 or 3 months since I installed them. One thing I will note is that I had to change the portion amount per feed because each portion is very small so I changed it from three servings per feed to 4 servings feed.
Verified buyer
A la gatita les gustó muchisimo, muy buena calidad y duración. Como no usa pilas es bien económico
Verified buyer
My 5 mth old kitten absolutely loves it!! My 2 senior cats aren't so sure yet but they're interested
Verified buyer
Love it! My cat loves it! I only wish the battery charge lasted longer.It doesn't move nonstop but detects motion! So if you move it or the cat attacked it it starts moving, then pauses, & moves!It does have an on & off switch if you want to save the battery but I leave it on for my cat to attack when in play mode.Looks just like the picture!
Verified buyer
I added more catnip then my cats had fun,fun.
Verified buyer
Everything as expected. No problems.
Verified buyer
The toy works as intended. Cats play with it even when it’s not on. Good quality!
Verified buyer
My cats love this and sometimes fight over it
Verified buyer
Bought it for the cat wasn't sure she would play with it but she has lots of fun with it and we lots of entertainment watching her
Verified buyer
One male cat loves it and wishes to press it into submission. The other cats not so much. This is ok as this cat does not have many toys, his sister takes them. She is not interested in the fish. However, there was that cashew. She liked that so much she ate it ... not that that has anything to do with this fish.I did removed the motor and tail so the fish could be washed ... so far so good
Verified buyer
It flops and the kids love it! By kids I mean cats, they are my children.It's easy to charge and I love the on and off feature for when they let me sleep
Verified buyer
The cat finally leaves us alone at night. Would recommend
Verified buyer
A friend said her cats didn’t like FFF, but I bought one and we’re all glad. My two cats try to steal and hide it from each other. I have to referee at times. It has survived many “rabbit-kickings” and biting. If your cat or dog doesn’t want it, send it to us!
Verified buyer
Loved it! I was quite entertained with it, but my two boxers ignored it. After, returning from the grocery store, I walked into the house and found the fish was no more! Pieces were scattered all over the floor. My dogs were sleeping.
