honeysuckle instead of catnip???

[Emm]

The Honeysuckle cat toys are really popular - but there are a lot of different varities of Honeysuckle and a lot of them are poisonous to cats - so make sure if you give your cats Honeysuckle its from a safe variety

Emm, mine is the common honeysuckle that grows wild, it's a vine and has cream or pink tinged very fragrant blooms. Is this one of the safe ones?

[Emm]

Lonicera tartarica is the variety that is used in the Honeysuckle Toys. If you have this variety then you can give it to your cat but remember its just the wood part that you use and to keep it safe for your cats make sure that you put it into a pillow or cushion

So you don't dry and crumple the leaves? I'll have to Google and see what sort of honeysuckle I have. Think I'll stick with catnip for now.......

the collars & toys are excellent quality.

No, I didn't know that Smudgley. The stuff does look excellent. Unfortunately my lot don't wear collars, otherwise I'd be ordering on there in a second!!!!

That's really interesting Emm. I'd never heard of honeysuckle toys before. I think I'll have to order some and see what my lot think...........
