Show me another »Making homemade cat toys - would this work?
I am making homemade cat toys and I am putting catnip on them. But in order to get it to stick I need to put something on it, and I was thinking honey. Would that work, and would it be non-harmful for cats? Of course I would get it to them once the honey is dry. Please let me know, thanks!

I agree with the last two answerer's. Honey will get stuck in the cat's fur and it is a real pain to get out, for you and your cat. I recommend getting a sock or a piece of cloth and put catnip in that. Then tape or tie it closed. If you want your cats to have an even more enjoyable time, add a scrunched-up piece of paper inside the cloth or sock, along with the catnip, so when your cat plays with the toy, it makes crunching sounds, and your kitty will go craaaazy! And then if you want, spray the outside of the toy with that cat nip smelling spray, but you don't have to.

- Honey is not harmful to cats. But it might dull the smell of the catnip and taste a bit odd to them. Like David, I just put the catnip in an old sock and let them run wild.

I do cat toys as a craft sideline, the way to get the catnip inside the toy is to fold it inside the fiberfill stuffing then insert it that way. It's far more controllable.
Catnip won't stick to the outside of anything very well, so I'm assuming you're talking about sewing toys and putting it inside. If the toy can't be stuffed, then just offer a small baggie of loose catnip on the side with each toy, or insert the toy into the baggie with the catnip.
Honey will not work. Nobody wants it on their rugs either. It just does not dry right.0% 0 Votes - better use molasses if you want it ti dry the honey will be there for many days before it dries out.0% 0 Votes
