icklemiss21 sent me a link to the video in this thread that showed her foster Rosie playing with a Cuddler:

The video is here:

This morning, a friend of mine sent me a video of her cat Mojo playing with a Cuddler. Mojo is 22 pounds, and while he looks fat, he's all fur. His main fur length has grown as long as 6 inches (its trimmed now). His vet claims he is actually at an ideal weight for his frame. I know this is grainy - I think she did the video from her cell phone.

I saw these 2 videos back to back, and I'm still laughing at the size difference between the 2. The 2 Cuddlers are exactly the same size. The 2 cats are obviously not. Had to share.

And just in case you are curious. The Cuddlers are 18" long. I measured the length of an average size cat and made them to that length.

do they have nip in them? What makes them so attractive to kittens and bit cats ( kittens don't usu. react to nip...)?

Both vids are adorable BTW

The filling is marinated in catnip. I think I went overboard with the catnip this last batch I made!
And I think part of it is their size and texture. Some of my cats actually did snuggle with them, while others played with them like as in the videos.

While they say that kittens do not react to nip, if I put down a nip toy and non nip toy, Rosie chooses the nip every time. Lots of the shelter kittens seem to react to nip and its even funnier since generally they are more playful anyway.

It is so cute to see the size difference though, I think you have a real winner there with the cuddlers, all five of mine and Rosie love it, from 5 weeks old to 14 years and 1.5lbs to 21lbs!
