Having 3 little fur balls to look after I am quite a regular in our local Pets at Home. I like to buy them little toys regularly to keep them amused and stimulated. One of my girls is virtually a house cat and I like to make sure she has her daily exercise. The latest cat toy I bought them was the Willows Giddy Kipper Catnip Toy. They cost just £2.99 and I bought 2. I never buy them one each as they never all play with their toys together. The Giddy Kipper is, as you will guess from the name, made in the shape of the fish. Its made from a Hessian type material that has pure catnip inside. Now if you have a cat you will know that catnip has an effect on some ...  Read the complete review

I am a long-term, full time employee of a 10 year old very big, part Maine coon tom cat, who answers to the name of Solo. Solo has been part of the family for over 10 years and is one hundred times more active than our other, younger cats, partly down to his breed but mainly because he is the peter pan of cats.....he never grows up. It is this ever playful spirit that has led us to try and find new and novel ways of keeping him entertained. To give you a quick example of our need for new ideas Solo has figured out where the torch beam comes from, he recognises his own reflection and if anything checks his look, plays fetch and if left alone will deliberately knock ...  Read the complete review

The toy pile is more of a mountain between two cats and a dog! They are all spoilt to within an inch of their lives but none of them seem to be complaining but it is not only us that spoils them silly, my Mum comes round and does it too! And one afternoon after she had finished work she came in with one of the Willow's Giddy Kipper Cat Nip toy. Willow's Giddy Kipper Cat Nip toy comes packaged in a clear plastic bag with the kipper completely visible. There is a cardboard top which tells you the name of the product and the manufacturer. The Giddy Kipper is a soft toy for cats and is infused with cat nip. It is a pretty basic toy but sometimes the ...  Read the complete review

We used to have pair of Willow's Giddy Kipper Catnip Toys, one for each of our cats. Sadly one of the flattened little kippers has gone off to kitty toy heaven after he became incapacitated. But we still have one little rather sorry looking Giddy Kipper kitty toy who is a much loved friend to our cats. He is rather battered but still comes out to play from time to time and gets plenty of cuddles. These types of soft play toys can be great fun for cats, as they can be played with, without too much human supervision. They don't have much about them that can come off and so are a safe option for many cats for sometime before they deteriorate so much that they ...  Read the complete review

Throughout the years with various cats I've owned a huge number of cat toys - some stay the same through time, such as jingle balls and catnip mice, others are new to me when I find them, and some become favourites always to be replaced. One of these favourites is the Giddy Kipper Catnip Toy, which I refer to as "the fish". It's a large, fairly flat fish shaped toy. On one side is plush grey velvet like material, and on the other is hessian. It is filled with catnip, and measures roughly 30cm by 16cm. The toy is very durable, although of course as with any cat toy it will eventually fall apart as a result of being attacked by sharp claws ...  Read the complete review
