Catnip ball smelled all natural and looks a lot more organic than the generic brand you find at Petco. All my cats went crazy for it and wouldn't share for one second. (to the other cats). The ball did arrive a lot smaller than I expected. My cats all really are crazy over generic catnip and when I brought this home they were just out of this world. The ball did get dirty fast from rolling all over their cat hair on the chair after they got it all wet with their toungue. but since they loved it so much I would buy it again for the sake of their health. it does seem just a tad pricey though.I’ve bought these occasionally for several years and they’re always a hit in my house. All four of my cats love it, although there are a few squabbles about sharing. After a few minutes though the ball has rolled around enough that the scent has spread out and those not actively taking a turn just go and roll in a spot where the ball was. One note on these type of balls. There are some cheaper knock offs, but if you look at the packaging you will notice little crumbles showing that they are already breaking apart. In my experience Pawbreakers are worth a bit more because whatever their formula and compression is they hold together longer. Eventually the ball will begin to crumble a bit and get to the point where it’s too broken to keep but with my crew that takes a couple of weeks, longer if they lose it and we take a while to find it again.We have 3 cats in our household and not every cat likes these, I must admit. One of them could care less for catnip, so he'll only play with this when he sees the other cats going crazy over it. Our two other cats, however, go completely bonkers over this toy!!! Especially my one cat that never cares about toys or playing. You give him this ball, and he'll just play with it for a long while. He'll attack it, than grab it with two of his paws and lick it, while holding it, than he'd start biting it and going crazy (from all the catnip). He's almost 5 years old, but when he gets a hold of this toy, he becomes a little kitten again!!We used to buy this product at PetSmart, but they stopped carrying it in stores for some reason, so I came here to buy a few of them to stock up. If your cat loves catnip, chances are he'll love this toy. It also lasts for a while, I'd say months. Because the catnip is so packed, it takes them a while to "chew" through it. I imagine it's probably good for their teeth too, since it's so hard. :)My cats LOVE this ball. I'm talking about 2 cats that normally ignore every toy I buy for them. They fight over this ball. They love it. They can't get enough of it.UPDATE: It's been about a year now since I purchased this ball. Both of my cats STILL love this ball. They play with it until it gets lost under furniture somewhere. Then I find it while cleaning and put it back out in the open, and as soon as they come in again and see it, they start playing all over again - until they loose it under furniture. Then the whole thing repeats, over and over and over. Play, loose, find, resume.One cat swats it and chases it up and down the hall. The other cat lies on the floor holding it in his paws and licking it - for 30min or longer. The ball is now about 1/2 its original size. I've bought them a LOT of toys. Most they ignore completely. A few they played with for 5min and quit. This is one of only 2 toys they continue to play with any time they see it. When this one is gone, I will definitely get them another.I have two one year old cats and one of them particularly loves catnip, and so *loves* this product. They both like to chase it around the house, try and chew it and roll all over it. I only have a few problems with this toy: I think its too small. One of my cats likes to take the entire thing and chew on it. It nearly fits all the way into her mouth, so it may be a choking hazard. I always supervise. The ball also gets sticky from all the chewing and so as it rolls around, it accumulates dustbunnies. It is very *loud* as it rolls around my hardwood and tile floors. I try to keep play limited to the rug area. Otherwise, a very fun toy for catnip-loving kitties!My cats do love catnip. That said, I'm not sure how much they like this catnip ball. One of them likes to sleep on top of it. I guess his body heat makes it smell more? Then he rubs his face on it. Not as strong a reaction as regular catnip. The other kitty bats it around, but she does that with any little ball thing.This is a little expensive for how small this is, but it's very well made. We have 2 cats that both love pushing it around and licking & biting it and it hasn't fallen apart. Since it's smaller, it easily rolls under all of the furniture so it's a pain to find, but the cats love it so it's worth it.I tried a larger catnip ball that had catnip on it and my cat licked it and the small amount of catnip came off and it was cardboard underneath. After that he walked away. This doesn't happen with these balls. He loves the way they roll so quickly and when he catches it, he holds it in his paws and licks, bites, and even tries to kick it with his feet. He seems to feel like he really got "IT". Was surprised as he doesn't like balls normally. I have great pictures but should have taken video. Really great product. Ordering more now.Addition: I received the new order very quickly but thought I had ordered 2 balls. The picture was somewhat misleading but the add is accurate. There is only one ball for the price. Worth it but just a warning.Meine beiden alten Kater lieben ihn über alles! Sie behalten sonst eigentlich die Contenance wenn es um Catnip geht,besonders der eine. Aber beim Pawbreaker nicht - da wird schon um das Paket geschlichen, wenn es ankommt und dann der Karton, die Folie und alles heiß und innig geliebt, wo der Ball drin war - von dem Ball selbst gar nicht zu reden.Negative Nebenwirkungen (hatte mal was, wovon der eine dann gebrochen hat, weils wohl zu aufregend war o.ä.) gibts scheinbar auch nicht. Die holen sich ihren Kick und wenn sie happy sind, pack ich ihn - gut einpackt - weg, bis es mal wieder soweit ist. Man kann ihn ein paar Mal nehmen, der ist so hart, dass sie keine Stücke oder so rausbeissen können. Irgendwann verfliegt halt die Wirkung, wenn sie alt sind. Aber er ist sein Geld wert.
