Dukedogsmom, They are candy cane sticks, filled with catnip.They are very well made, thick, without that foam stuff they always put in toys. The kitties love them. The package that they were shipped in came from cat claws.com.
I must say, the catnip was very potent, and the sticks are still being slobbered on. Stash sleeps with "his". :
Hope this helps.
