FAQ

What makes this cat toy different from others?
Yolk the Owl is a handmade, 2" Chunkle Puff woven from premium fibers and filled with our exclusive ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ botanical blend. Unlike ordinary catnip toys, Yolk’s durable surface, refined aroma, and artisanal construction make him both a lasting favorite for cats and a refined presence in the home.

Is this toy good for cats who ignore toys?
Yes. Yolk was designed for cats who usually dismiss playthings. His compact, woven round form is easy to bat, carry, and hide, while the fragrance of ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ botanicals awakens natural curiosity. Cats who resist ordinary toys often find themselves captivated by Yolk’s scent and texture.

What is Miracle Nip?
⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ is Minou Le-Mew’s signature botanical blend, crafted by a chemist as a refined alternative to standard catnip. Using a traditional enfleurage method, it combines catnip, silver vine, valerian, gall fruit, kuppaimeni, and other botanicals cats adore. This unique blend sustains fascination far longer than ordinary catnip toys.

How do I keep Yolk’s scent fresh?
Each toy comes with a sealed pouch of herbs to help preserve and refresh his fragrance between play sessions. Store Yolk in the pouch when not in use, and his aroma will remain as captivating as the day he arrived.

Do these plants get my cat “high”?
No. Catnip and the other botanicals in our Miracle Nip blend don’t act like a drug. When cats smell them, the compounds activate scent pathways that mimic feline social and pheromonal signals, which cascade into instinctive hunting and play behaviors. Unlike a drug, these botanicals are not metabolized in your cat’s body — the effect is entirely scent-driven and temporary. What you’re seeing is natural, instinctive play being awakened, not intoxication.

Lorebook Entry: Yolk the Owl

Yolk was never quite like the other owls of the Grove. Round and small, he preferred to nap in hidden corners instead of hooting from the branches. The cats thought him shy—until one evening when the moonlight touched his woven feathers and released a fragrance that made the whole Grove pause.

Curious noses turned his way. Cats who usually chased shadows or batted leaves instead crept toward Yolk, drawn by the quiet magic in the air. When a paw finally nudged him, he rolled gently across the moss, as if guiding the cats on a secret path. Wherever he stopped, the scent of ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ lingered, soft and irresistible.

From then on, Yolk became something of a treasure. He was carried to hammocks, tucked into nests, and hidden beneath paws as if guarding him meant keeping the magic alive. Though modest in size, he held an enchantment the larger toys could not claim—proof that the rarest wonders often come in the smallest, roundest forms.
