Operculum picked the purrfect name for our rather abstract Spring catnip toy — the Purrmuda Triangle. With fluttery ribbons and a jawbreaker sized wad of premium, organic catnip inside, cats have really taken to these. Do they find altered consciousness inside the mysterious triangle? Maybe! But mostly it is a lot of fun.
We are including one of these toys with each and every $35 purchase of Pootie Pads. Or buy a set of four Purrmuda Triangles and get a fifth one free!

About Pootie Pads:
Pootie Pads are a product that arose because of the daily Pootie diaries here on Daily Kos — they were designed with the cats of Kossacks in mind. Made with love by myself and my sister, winglion, they are little quilts filled with human grade, organic catnip (the best we have ever found) from Oregon. All the fabrics are pre-washed before we use them so the pads are innocent of any toxic sizing or preservatives. Cats love them! The pads promote play — and also seem to have a soothing effect on anxious cats (making them the perfect liner for a cat carrier during travel). Elderly cats love them, too — we think because the catnip may ease the aches and pains of older bones and joints.
Our pads for dogs contain organic lavender and thyme, soothing herbs that may promote calm.
I would also like to note that watching a cat play on one of these pads has a very tonic effect on people, too. That’s why when we send a Community Quilt to someone who has a cat, they get a coordinating Pootie Pad for their kitty, too. Nothing lifts spirits like watching a cat get really goofy. So if you would like to find a gift for a cat owner who needs something cheerful in their lives, please consider Pootie Pads! Here is an old favorite video by The Little One to show what we mean:
