Minette the Little Cheese – Artisan Chunkle Puff Cat Toy Infused with Miracle Nip

Artisan Catnip Toy | Minette the Petite Cheese – Chunkle Puff Infused with Miracle Nip Botanicals for Cats

Minette the Petite Cheese is for the cat who has a whole basket of toys and is still unimpressed. Shaped like a tiny creamery round and named for a French endearment, she is part of the South France chapter in the Chunkle Puff collection, inspired by old perfumers who worked with valerian, catnip, and other cat-active plants along the Mediterranean.

Her compact, rounded body is tightly woven for satisfying claw grip, inviting quick taps, short stalks across the floor, and proud carry-and-display laps from room to room. The scale is deliberate: small enough to feel like a “real” catch between the teeth, substantial enough not to disappear into the background with a half-hearted bat.

Inside, Minette is infused with ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ botanicals, a proprietary blend of thirteen herbs developed through botanical and biological study to activate more scent receptors than catnip alone. Miracle Nip helps sustain play through layered scent release, and re-engage cats who usually ignore toys. Pressed in the old French tradition of capturing fragrance slowly to preserve aromatic depth, the infusion gives Minette a scent profile that feels rich and alive rather than flat. Instead of a brief burst of interest, she becomes the piece your cat keeps circling back to: sniff, bat, chase, carry, repeat.

From a distance she reads as a small red and cream accent on the floor, more like a design object than a novelty toy. Up close, every detail is scaled for feline senses, transforming a familiar cheese shape into a finely tuned hunting target. Minette is for the person who is done buying forgettable toys and would rather choose one small, witty piece that respects feline instinct, salutes French creamery culture, and sits comfortably among the rest of the home.
