All the members of our Pride have a nasty habit of chewing feathers off things and trying to eat them, and especially with red feathers, the color isn't color-fast so we get miserable stains all over everything from them- so feathers have been banned. However, there are small (about 1-1/2" square) sewn catnip pillows we get from CattyShack (on-line store- Google it!), which are inexpensive and packed with some of the most POWERFUL catnip I've ever encountered-- our cats get thoroughly gooned-up on the stuff and play with the pillows by the hour! They bat them around, fetch them, chase them, chew them up, carry them around like prey-- and they DON'T leach out dyes or stain anything or shed parts that cats can swallow or choke on-- they're the BEST........
