Moderncat Studio Toy Review & Giveaway!

Jute Joint Jezebel

Are your cats tired of the same ol' same old when it comes to their playthings? Then maybe it's time to try out Moderncat Studio, purveyors of treats and toys for stylish kitties everywhere! The Phoenix, AZ based studio is helmed by cat-lover Kate Benjamin, who's also the brains behind the hugely popular kitty websites, Moderncat and Cattoo Design.

Moderncat Studio is dedicated to creating products that are beautiful and functional, and are handcrafted using environmentally friendly cat-safe materials and finishes. They generously sent over a sampling of toys for Charlie and Priscilla to test out, and what I immediately liked best was that in addition to the funky patterns and innovative designs, some of the toys also integrate fun sounds (rattles and bells, which my kitties love) which are very important when your cats have a short attention span!


As you can see, they loved everything - check out the "Meow!" at 0:15! I let them pick out their own toys from the box (first Priscilla, then Charlie), and they went to town! In the video they're playing with the Jingle Jute Bomb (a crowd favorite!), ModShaker Catnip Rattle Toy (also a fav), and Small ModKicker (true to its name!).

I have to say I was impressed with all of the toys, and my cats are obsessed! With Moderncat Studio you're getting unique designs and cool fabric patterns (that make me happy), and sturdy construction and high quality catnip for the kittehs! Win-win!
