I wouldn't be so sure! Here is a quote from the article I posted previously.

Expertox said a cloth catnip toy also tested positive for a
�tremendous amount� of the toxic metal cadmium. The levels of cadmium found
were 236 micrograms per kilogram.
Two other Wal-Mart pet toys were analyzed, a cloth hedgehog for dogs
and a plastic dumbbell toy for cats. Expertox found cadmium in those two
pet toys, but the lab toxicologist said the levels found were similar
to the amount in one cigarette and not considered significant.
