Hi all! I was just wondering if anyone else could relate to this.
In addition to our kitties, my husband and I also own a pair of sugar gliders. Sugar gliders are VERY sensitive to catnip. It's toxic to them and very very dangerous. In short, we cannot have any catnip or catnip products in our house, which can make it very difficult to buy cat toys. Since most cat toys and cat furniture are manufactured in facilities with catnip (I'm sure you all know that...), it's not worth the risk.
As a result, our kitty-boys have a lot of homemade cat furniture and toys, human baby toys, and a handful of dog toys. Of course, despite our best efforts, the best toys they find are always things that they dig out of the trash.
But oh well, they are happy.
How many of you are in a no-catnip situation? I'm always looking for new ideas for homemade toys, so maybe we could share some thoughts here, too.
