KONG - Kickeroo - Play Enticing Cat Toy, North American Premium Catnip (Colours May Vary) - Cuddler Pattern

My kitten is mad about this toy. It is fantastic, very hardwearing and tough, the catnip is great, and the textures are so stimulating for him particularly the lumpy fabric bit, it is a great way for him to use up some energy. Took him 4 months to destroy the last one and he plays with it very very aggressively (he is a very big cat), so we'll see how long this new one takes for him to get through...

Best thing for kitties ever. Got loads of these, they're amazing! Bought first 2 for our 2 rescue cats who are terrified of everything and they both ADORE them. They're long enough that they can kind of hug them with their front legs and get the back legs up and kicking/scratching at it. It helps to diffuse their tensions too as we got them at different times so are still a bit nervous of each other. They play with these toys a bit to get the nervous energy out, and they quickly settle down again. These toys are surprisingly resilient too which is a bonus. One of our rescues is a large tom cat born in the wild so has acute hunting instincts, not to mention claws the size of my little finger!. He really goes to town on his one and it still lasts and lasts. The best thing of all though is that they both use theirs as a pillow when they're relaxing or sleeping. It's the cutest thing in the world! I can't get the tom cat into a cat bed no matter how hard I try, too wild I think. Then I saw him curled up next to this. I got a few more and made a kind of doughnut and voila, cosy cat heaven. I was so impressed with this toy that I bought more for my mum's 2 rescue cats and the same thing there - cats love it, play with it and sleep on it after. Bought for friends cats too, it seems to be universally liked. It may take them a while to figure out what to do with it, but when they do, it's so sweet. Can't recommend this highly enough. Buy it!

As the video shows, the cats love this cat toy. They kick it as hard as they can with their back feet while holding it in a "death grip with the front paws. They also love combining the fun of the kickeroo with a cat cube (video shown there for that too), pouncing out of the cube to grab the kickeroo and pull it into their lair. It seems to be really well made and has now survived over a year of regular abuse without coming apart at the seams or ripping. One of our cats now brings it to us for a game of fetch. It is really comical to watch him dragging it along the floor like a wildebeest that he has just brought down. All 3 of our cats love it and regularly enjoy taking their frustrations out on the kickeroos. Excellent toy - one of the best we have for entertaining the three indoor cats that we have.

The KONG Kickeroo Cuddler Cat Toy is the toy most played with by cats I've found so far. Both a shy small gentle cat and a boisterous, large breed, rapidly growing kitten seem to love this toy. I never needed to use catnip - I just introduced it in one play session by moving the fluffy tail end gently over the floor or dangling over their heads and now both play with it themselves whenever they feel like it. They also love chasing it, pouncing on it and wrestling it too if I gently chuck it to the other side of the room randomly. Its small/light enough for both of them to drag it around it by the tail (often dragging this to where they choose to sleep), although this is amusing & cute to watch. It seems to be fairly durable (no rips yet a few months in, even after "rough" use by kitten with fairly sharp claws and a surprisingly hard bite - she was chewing it quite a bit during her teething phase). I rinsed it with water when it first arrived and occasionally since then to make sure it's kept clean. It arrived promptly and exactly as pictured. The material section is fairly soft. The sack covered section makes a crinkling toy sound when squashed/bitten which both cats seem to like. Mostly they playfully chew and pounce on the tail section. It's reasonably priced and the only toy I have bought a second of so both cats can have one. It's also large enough that none of my guests or I have never tripped over it as it's easy to spot. The KONG Kickeroo Cuddler Cat Toy has been brilliant for cats in my few months experience.

Cats love it

My cat was initially keen in the kicker toy as soon as I took it out of the package but got bored of it within 10 mins. She doesn’t gravitate towards it and won’t interact with it unless I’m dangling the tail part around. Nevertheless, I’ve give I’ve given it 3 stars as I can see how cats would like it and have to take into account personalities of cats. It looks decently made, just unfortunate that it isn’t attractive for my cat.

This is amazing and worth every penny. Solidly stuffed and a good size 10"/25cm without the tail. Our cat thought this was wonderful and went to town on it straight away. He has since lost interest since every other cat who comes in here has also loved it but he had a great time clawing the top then kicking away at the bottom. Funny how catnip affects some and not others, isn't it? Well, the other cats scratch this, grab the top and kick the bottom with their back legs, lick it, roll on it, make love to it, and last but not least, one little visitor decided to really make this own by spraying on it. Now no-one is interested in it, but it is still intact with no more damage than a few pulls to the fabric. Even after all that we can say we got our money's worth, although I think we may just get out little bot another one to keep for himself.

This will be our second kickeroo for our 7 year old cats. The reason we need a second is not that it has come apart, despite repeated attacks. It is because the two cats both attempt to play with it at the same time so I think another is called for before all out war occurs. The kickeroo is quite big (about 40cm incl tail) but this allows the cat to hug it to him and kick at it with his back legs. Jack and Fred absolutely adore theirs and will spend at least 10 minutes trying to disembowl it every time I get it out, followed by going to sleep hugging it. To keep it fresh and interesting for your cat you may wish to take it away (once you can actually prise it off them) and only give it back every other day or so, this seems to keep them much more interested. Also a quick spritz in catnip spray every once in a while helps. In summary, superb toy that seems set to last a long time.
