Meet the Hotdog Kicker — a hand woven toy that combines catnip and matatabi in one simple, playful design.
The “hotdog” portion is filled with high quality catnip, offering an inviting scent that sparks excitement. The handle is crafted around a matatabi stick*, giving your cat a satisfying natural chew as they kick, grab, and play.
Measuring about 22 cm in length.
*Matatabi stick: enclosed inside the woven handle.
Matatabi sticks offer a variety of natural benefits for cats. Their active compounds can lift your cat’s mood and encourage playful rolling, rubbing, and kicking—even in cats that don’t react to catnip. Chewing on the stick can gently support dental hygiene, though it should not replace regular toothbrushing. As a natural plant branch, matatabi is also a safer option for cats who love to chew, helping reduce stress and keep them happily engaged.

When not in use, it’s recommended to store the toy in a storage bag or drawer, out of your cat's reach. By doing so, you will not only prolong the life of the catnip scent but also help prevent your cat from becoming desensitized to the scent, ensuring they remain engaged during playtime.
