The Best Catnip Isn’t Always Catnip – Giveaway From Plain Brown Tabby
We test a lot of products at Cat Wisdom 101 and our boys are catnip aficionados but Merlin, our senior team member rarely enjoys catnip anymore. When a package arrived from Plain Brown Tabby stuffed full of delightful catnip+ toys, I wondered who would like what. Not all cats like catnip. Some prefer valerian or honeysuckle. What I love about Plain Brown Tabby is their massive choice of catnip and other choices of catnip-type toys. If your cat does not react to catnip, have you tried the “uncatnip” – honeysuckle or valerian? Read their Honeysuckle FAQ Catnip FAQ or Valerian FAQ
Much to my surprise Merlin liked the small but potent Ticked Tabby Catnip Pillow and instead of the usual calming effect it seemed to invigorate him.
Odin made a beeline for the huge Valerian spiced Kitty Cuddler made with a mix of catnip and valerian. These are longer than ModKickers or Kong Kickeroos and pack a heady punch. He gives it a fours paws way up rating!
Visit Plain Brown Tabby at catnipstoys.com for their heady selection and special deals for the month of October. They have great kitty pics on their Facebook page please “like” them.
Like to win all three toys? Simply leave a comment at this post any time before 11:59 PM Oct. 4. The winner will be announced next Friday.
The winner of our Soft Claws giveaway from last week is Nicole. Congratulations! Look for an email from Layla Morgan Wilde.

Hmmm – I had no idea about honeysuckle and valerian – Thank you Cat Wisdom 101 – You guys teach me new stuff all the time! I would love to win these for my 2 kitties. One of them is getting back from a terrible case of Diabetes and would loooovvvveee a gift to cheer her up. 🙂 Our other kitty would just love one for no reason other than it’s nice!
Even if I don’t win, thanks for all the info and tidbits you share!

I didn’t know about honeysuckle and valerian, but I have a catnip-crazed kitteh and would LOVE to win. Paws crossed! Thanks for the giveaway.

My cats would love to win these! Especially the one-year old foster, whose buddies got adopted while he was off having knee surgery – and now my grumpy older cats don’t want to play with him!
Michelle Spayde
We’ve never tried anything but catnip, and would love to try alternatives!
Connie Marie
My kitties would be in 7th heaven if I won this. I’ve seen that not all of them go after the catnip, it makes some to ornery, too protective of toy to have out. They’ve all come from the shelter or very deprived homes, so it’s new to them. The mixtures might be a better choice for my babies temperments! Please enter me!
Sincerely,
Connie Marie

Maybe the kids will stop breaking the vases if they have some catnip toys to play with. Although Joel has developed a real taste for Q-Tips.

I know a kitty or 3 that would love the Big Kitty Cuddly

I did not know that there was any such thing as a Catnip/Valerian combination for cats. How fascinating. I’m also interested by the Cheengoo Pear Organic Bamboo Rattle Cat Toy, just because of the shape. I liked the nice folks on facebook. I am Margot Core over there.

It’s amazing how all the old catnip toys get dragged out again now that there’s one more kitty at our house… Bet a new toy would REALLY be appreciated!

That stuff sounds great! We wonder if Sammy would like the UNcatnip? Moosey is a catnip fiend, but not Sammy. Maybe this could be HIS fun herb! 🙂

My kitty would love to have some new toys to totally ignore for a while!

We would love to have more toys to shove under our human’s recliner. Then we can stare at it and make her wonder if we caught a mouse and let it go under there.
Love,
