The catnip toy guy |
Catnip-filled balls and catnip-filled mice toys have been around a long time—in fact, since 1907, when a veterinary supplier, A. C. Daniels, patented his Catnip Ball, a small wooden ball, hollowed out for holding catnip and serving as a great toy for felines.
Later he patented the first catnip-filled toy mouse. Naturally Mr. Daniels also marketed his own catnip, under the brand name Summit.
