Organic Catnip Toys Giveaway
Have you noticed that not all catnip or catnip toys are created equal? Why is it some catnip toys fail to thrill? We think freshness is a big factor. A fellow Canadian, Banafsheh Tabrizi created Violetta Designs, a line of catnip toys stuffed right before shipping with organic catnip, for maximum freshness and full enjoyment by our beloved kitties! Inspired by her own cat Daisy and a beloved little friend named Raffi, she decided it was time to have toys that weren’t sitting on store shelves for months at a time with stale catnip. We couldn’t agree more…And one lucky reader will win a delectable selection of these catnip toys!
We received a package stuffed with the most unique handcrafted catnip toys we’ve seen in awhile. It’s no surprise Banafsheh has a background in costume design. And there was no mistaking the fresh sweet aroma. The pure, organic Canadian catnip smelled divine! Our official tester agreed.
I arranged the toys for an outdoor photo shoot and it didn’t take long before Odin came sniffing. He batted and sniffed until all the toys were on the grass where he proceeded to roll around in bliss. Gris Gris showed up but Odin thought these were too good to share. He did mention if he wins the Cat Ruler of World Contest, there would be free catnip for all!
You can view all the catnip and other products at her Violetta Designs shop on Etsy.
or visit her direct at her website Violetta
and she’s NEW on Facebook, please like her Violetta Design page for her latest creations and her cute cat!
To enter the giveaway simply leave a comment at this post anytime before 11:59 PM EST August 30. Good luck! The winner will be announced next Friday.

we have a small (well really good sizes) cat shelter with over 100 cats and kittenswe adopt out after the cats are neutered/spayed and have their shots. Several of our cats are trus catnipaholics and it is great fun to spread catnip around and watch mthyem play – we have NO cages so the run and run together throughout the house. Obviously we are all cat lovers and get a great kick out of your site. Please enter us into your catnip drawing so the shelter cats can enjoy your high quality nip – thanx – cataholic

These are fantastic!! I’m running low on catnip toys! <Am I the only one that consistently sucks them up in the vacuum (and is too lazy to dig them out/clean them off)????
Faith
These sound wonderful! I’d given up on catnip toys because every single one I have bought has fallen apart in a couple of days. Not worth buying! I’d love to have some toys to tempt my kitties to play!

It is so true that all catnip toys are not made equal!
I think the humans can try and smell the nip in the store (well, okay, not online) and if they can smell it, they can buy it 😉
(Please don’t enter me in the contest, I won some great nip from the Katnip Lounge recently so I don’t want to take someone else’s chance)

Catnip is an absolute favorite at my house. My American Shorthair has to find her favorite catnip toy every morning after breakfast for a fun roll with it. More choices would put her over the top. She says “PLEASE, my mom should win these (just for me). Meowwwwwww!!!

Our boys absolutely love catnip, we bought them some plants online and they were at them the minute they were unpacked before they were even potted.

You know, Leonardo and I suspected something like this; that bit about the freshness of the nip. His most exciting catnip toy to date is a curious bit of twisted fabric that came with his cozy blanket from this other etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CozyCatComforters?section_id=11770930 He passionately loves to play with this and carry it around in his mouth and it has to be about the cat nip I think.
The loot that you have for this prize with send him and his pal Sharon over the moon.
Lia
I like the picture of Odin all ‘nipped out!! My Oliver rolled and rolled in the catnip plant outside and completely destroyed it!! Rolled and ate, rolled and ate!!!
