My daughter ordered a large catnip cushion from you for our cat Isis. Isis loved it even before she got the package open! Once we took the cushion out of the plastic bag, she was ecstatic. She even loved the little toy mouse. Your cushion is apparently packed with the best cat dope she has ever encountered. After she went wild, she calmed down and slept for a long time on the cushion. Thanks for making such a great product. -CM; TN

Maude absolutely LOVES her cushion! I put it on the counter when I got home and she took it out of the sack herself! She wasn't too interested in the mouse, but my dog wouldn't leave it alone so she kept hitting him, because even though she didn't want to play with it, she didn't want him to either - it was very funny! She is so cute the way she stretches out her arms
and holds it! It was a great success! Thanks so much! --NC; Longmont, CO
Short story, long
Let me tell you about my children's reaction: Every one fell in love with the cushion. They all remained fascinated with the cushion, including, before opening the package, they were smelling and snooping it (the box), and being caressed against her. When I opened it and I removed the cushion. START THE MADNESS! Oh my God, the reaction was instant. The first one in to take possesion of the cushion was my Niña, she was happy prr,prr... and she caressed herself happy with it. Then, came Guatón, he took it between his two arms and he began to embrace it and to knead it intense, prr. prr.... at the same time that he played the little mouse. Then arrived Pirata: "this is mine." He removed Guatón and he embraced the cushion with strength. He won't let it go off! prr, prr. After a while of affections and nibbles, I tried to remove him from the cushion...BUT NOT!!! he embraced it with strength and not freed it. Also pleased him a great deal the mouse, he took it to carry it with him and PUM! ...the mouse jumped (by the elastic) and he follows it frantically (of course, without leaving the cushion). Once I achieved to remove him from the cushion, touched its shift to Axa, who leaned on it immediately and knocked down herself with happiness prr,prr... Then Lantis, the same thing, was happy being caressed and knocked down from one side to another with the beloved cushion, prr,prr...while he kneaded it happily with his claws. Pomito first looked at it distrustfully (as always), approached a little, it smelled during some seconds..., and PUM! ..he threw upon it prr,prr.... All they drooled, HA HA, the cushion remained all wet! And all they played with the beautiful little mouse: "is mine, no, is mine...no, is mine. meow, meow, meow.." Romana the unique one that did not understand what's was happening, I think that almost she does not have smell since she is very old. But, she reclined too at side of the cushion. As you see, my cats are in "kitty heaven" thanks to yourself. I thank it you a great deal. I have been taking photographs, promptly I will send
them to you. I love you so much.

Your wonderful package arrived today. My husband put it on my computer chair, and when I got home from work, it was on the floor, with a cat sitting on it. I opened it, lifted out the cushion and put it on the sofa. Galahad climbed into the box, while

I just wanted to let you know that our cat, Rocky, loves her new catnap pad! It is really cute. [A few days later]: Our cat loves her new catnip pad so much that I'm ordering another one to put in a different room! --JM, Irvine, CA
1 September 2001: The pillows are not only a HUGE hit with the kidders, but I can't get them off of them. Yorik has also been on the pillow, but Sweetie has yet to discover them. She wouldn't have a chance to try them out anyway, they are always occupied! Thank you!! ---LJ; Olympia, WA
Unlike most mammals who walk on the soles of the paws or feet, cats are digitgrade,
which means they walk on their toes. Their back, shoulder, paw and leg joints,
mucscles, paw and leg joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves are naturally
designed to support and distribute the cat's weight across its toes as it walks, runs and limbs. A cat's claws are used for balance, for exercising, and for stretching
the muscles in their legs, back, shoulders, and paws. They stretch these muscles
by digging their claws into a surface and pulling back against their own clawhold - similar to isometric exercising for humans. This is the only way a cat can exercise, stretch and tone the muscles of its back and shoulders. The toes help the foot meet the ground at a precise angle to keep the leg, shoulder and back muscles and joints in proper alignment. Removal of the last digits of the toes drastically alters the conformation of their feet and causes the feet to meet the ground at an unnatural angle that can cause back pain similar to that in humans caused by wearing improper shoes.

1 July 2002:Just to let you know that the cushion arrived last Friday. I was at work, so my husband didn't open it, but by the time I got home, the cats were chasing the package around the floor! I only allow them a short time with their cushion, then I seal it back into its bag. The reason? Pippin drools disgustingly when catnip is offered, and I don't want the cushion to get soggy! --Flintshire, GB
while
Dilly, Merlin, and Stanley all went for the
cushion. In minutes it was all slobbery, with
Stanley trying to wear it as a hat, and Dilly trying to chew on one end while Merlin tried to climb into it somehow. Now, 2 hours later, Dilly is stretched full-length on it, sleeping wonderfully, Penny is smelling/ licking the visible part of the cushion to figure out what every- body was so excited about, and Galahad is still in the box. In other words, it's a BIG hit thank you ever so much! ---GM; Roy, Utah
Luna is crazy for catnip and LOVED this pillow so much she tried to eat it. Literally! Notice also the nice, glassy eyes. WE had to take it away from her because she went nuts on it!
