Truffle checking out the catnip before placing it in the ball.
The Catnip Booster Ball grinds up catnip and releases oils for a more potent fragrance. Baby Patches also sent us a bag of Realcats Organic Catnip to put in the catnip ball. This catnip is handpicked and labeled with real customer's cats. Of course, Truffle grabbed the catnip bag and tried to take off with it before Mom Paula could put the catnip in the ball.
The instructions were pretty easy and were located on the back of the package. You had to use a coin (a dime worked best) to unscrew the cap at the top of the catnip ball. We poured the catnip in the top of the ball. Mom Paula had to be careful because she spilled some of the catnip on the floor while doing this. Of course, we didn't care! Once you filled the top of the ball with catnip, you pressed the two halves together and twisted the two halves back and forth to grind the catnip. We think Mom Paula may have put a little too much catnip in the top because she had a little trouble at first twisting the two halves back together. She then gave the ball to us to test.
This was the catnip ball prior to pressing the two halves together. Notice, it definitely has Truffle's attention.
Truffle went crazy over the catnip booster ball. Mom Paula closed all of the doors in the hallway for us to check out the ball. Truffle basically "hogged" the catnip booster ball. She liked the sound it made when it hit and walls and she loved the potent catnip flavor. The only thing she wasn't able to do was pick up the ball in her mouth and carry it away. We don't know if it's because of her flatter face or if the ball isn't designed to be carried. The catnip booster ball was definitely a hit with Truffle! She's batted it all over the house.

Truffle hogging the ball from Brulee
Brulee basically just sniffed the ball and gave it a couple of whaps. This isn't really anything against the ball because Brulee doesn't really get excited over catnip. She did get interested when Truffle was playing with it (at the end of the video) but that's only because Truffle had it.

In order for you to see how much of a hit the catnip booster ball was, we've provided a video for you. Notice how Truffle "hogs" the ball, but she allows Brulee to check it out at the end of the video. We really appreciate Baby patches allowing us to be a Baby Patches Tester Team member and sent us this item for free to review.
Miss Truffle, I also love the nip! I'd let you have it all if you were here tho.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Nip & Bones!
We thought it was adorable how Truffle kept looking back over her shoulder like she wasn't ready to share!
ReplyDeleteHmm... Ichiro might go wild for that. Then again he might not. Not to mention that someone in the house never bothers to refill toys like that with what they are supposed to be filled with...
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great toy!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a GREAT idea for a toy! Paws up to whoever invented that!
ReplyDeleteThe Gs would never touch it as they do not enjoy any hard plastic balls or anything that jingles for that matter. Such sour pusses they are! But they do enjoy their nip in the condo!
ReplyDeleteYou gals are so floofalicious! And I'm still slayed by Brulee's ear tufts. Every. Single. Time. srsly.
Truffle acts just like a child with a new toy - we're so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
That looks like a very fun catnip toy! So cute how Truffle tried to pick it up in her mouth.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love those fur horns!!!
Love you girls! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the "What was that?" look when the ball hits the door facing the first time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being selected to be spokeskitties for Nip 'n Bones. What a neat first product to review.

ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous review and what fun you had.. Hurray for Nip and Bones.. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a fun toy. Great review. Brulee looks like she wants to know why the door is shut. Hope all of you have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteYou, Truffle, are a lazy playa. I kept waiting for you to bat that ball down the hall and run run run after it. Great review.
ReplyDeleteTruffle is loving that ball. It must be lots of fun to be a toy tester.
ReplyDeleteIf Truffle didn't swallow that thing, it certainly wasn't for lack of trying!! Ha ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteThat sure was a whole lotta fun for one of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks you for the pawsome review my furriends! I thinks you want to bat that ball around Brulee! Maybe you just waiting until no one is looking, MOL.
ReplyDeleteMomma says she can't get over how floofy you both are. Silly hoomans.
GRINDS UP CATNIP INSIDE?

That was an excellent review, girls. Truffle, we can see how much you love that ball!!
ReplyDeleteMowzers, Truffle, that was real generous of you to let Brulee sniff at it. Faraday wouldn't even think of sharing.
