Product review and giveaway: environmentally friendly cat toys from Moderncat studio
Allegra and Ruby take their product review responsibilities very seriously, but never much more so than when it concerns evaluating toys. When the big box from Moderncat studio arrived last week, they were ready to get to work!
Ruby: Look, Allegra, it’s a box full of toys. In crinkle paper! I’m going to help mother open everything!
Allegra: I’ll help, too!
Ruby: Oh my gosh, Allegra, look whatsoever these toys! Are they all for us? I don’t even know where to start! and the smell – meowzer!
Allegra: That, my little one, is catnip. and based on my experience with it, this is some very potent stuff.
Ruby: look at this little round thing. Mom, look! It rolls around when I bat it!
Ingrid: Ruby right away picked out the Bamboleo, a toy made from repurposed red wine corks, filled with organic catnip. As you can see in the video below, she had a terrific time with it, and it has remained a favorite.

Allegra: I can smell some major catnip in that triangle-shaped toy with the red stripes. I call dibs! Ooh, it makes noise, too. Wee – how fun!
Ingrid: Allegra picked the ModShaker as her favorite. The rattle toy is filled with organic catnip, and if Allegra’s reaction to the catnip is any indication, that is some major nip. view her play with it in the video below.

We also received Atomic Flyers, which are made from 100% Merino wool, a Jute Bomb, a ModKicker, felt Rollers, Lynks (another favorite with both Ruby and Allegra), and Junk Food Flyers. All the toys are fantastic and clearly developed with cats in mind. They use natural and recycled materials (the Junk Food Flyers are made from recycled cat food bags!), and they’re all developed with cats’ preferences in mind. The design is also what I like to think of as “human-friendly:” all of the toys feel wonderful to the touch and are stunning to look at.

Hi! It is so hard to decide because my cat Sprite snubs alot of toys. So, I think she might like a modkicker or lynks or perhaps, the jute ball (she does like to rub on rough surfaces). but really just something new to try would be great!!

I have 10 furbabies and all have a different opinion but I do think they would concure on Ingrid’s choice, The Modshaker. Anything “catnip” sends them in to “happiness!. thank you from a crazy cat Lady!

Oh wow. My young boys love catnip toys – especially the ones they can carry around, or kick! So I think they’d love the modshaker or modkickernullnull
