| Catnip? I have a cat, and my little pup loves playing with the cat's toys, probably because they're small enough for him to handle. The other day, though, he found one filled with catnip. He seemed to love the toy, but I took it away from him because I didn't know if catnip is safe for Yorkies. Does anyone know? |

| Roxy loves catnip - so far she has had no ill effects other than sneezing when she gets it up her nose. I asked the vet and he said not to worry. Remi has been playing with the cat's toys, too and he is only 11 weeks old.

| Percy pretty much just plays with cats toys now. Except for his Kong, and a little yellow duckie. When he came home, I went out and bought all these cute little doggie toys, the only thing he wanted to play with was the cats toys . I figured...why fight it?

| Ryder & Tucker love Tig's toys ! The only thing I have had to put away was the fuzzy mice as thet chew them ...Tig ISN'T happy about that as he LOVES his mice . We tried giving them to him in the basement to play with but he brings them upstairs and drops them at the BOYS so they can play too ..... |

| We buy cat toys for Mojo a lot because of their small size...I always cut the seam and remove catnip and replace it w/ an xs squeeker.......not that there is anything wrong w/ the catnip...he just likes the squeeker noise.

| Oh my! Harley LOVES catnip! I took it away from him as well, because I thought it would hurt him, but I guess it's alright for him. Lucky Harley! |
