Allegra and Ruby take their product review duties very seriously, but never more so than when it comes to reviewing 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 Mom open everything!
Allegra: I’ll help, too!
Ruby: Oh my gosh, Allegra, look at all 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 immediately picked out the Bamboleo, a toy made from repurposed wine corks, filled with organic catnip. As you can see in the video below, she had a great time with it, and it has remained a favorite.

Allegra: I can smell some serious 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 serious nip. Watch 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 wonderful and clearly designed 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 designed 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 beautiful to look at.
And now you can win Moderncat toys for your cats! To enter our giveaway, tell us which toy you’d like to win. You can pick Allegra’s or Ruby’s favorite, or look around the Moderncat Etsy shop and pick the toy your kitty would like best.

October 6, 2011 at 9:30 pm (7 years ago)Hi! It is so hard to decide since 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!!
