Artisan Catnip Toy | Noodle the Inchworm – A Whimsical Chunkle Puff Infused with ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ Botanicals

Some cats are toy collectors, but others are joy collectors, and Noodle is their favorite little prize.

Noodle the Inchworm was created for the cat who has seen every toy and is still waiting to feel something. His slim, squiggly body is light in the paw and easy to send skimming across the floor, perfect for hallway chases, under-the-chair ambushes, and quiet midnight sprints. He is small enough to scoop, toss, and carry, yet long enough to feel satisfying when your cat drapes a paw across his back or trots off to hide him in a secret spot.

Beneath Noodle’s woven coils lies ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹, a proprietary botanical blend developed by a scientist to awaken the scent receptors ordinary catnip cannot reach. Thirteen botanicals, including catnip, silver vine, valerian, gall fruit, and other herbs, are layered to activate more scent receptors than catnip alone, sustain play through slow, unfolding aroma, stimulate natural hunting behavior, and re-engage cats who usually ignore toys. One breath, and something shifts: the ears tilt, the whiskers fan forward, and the “bored” cat remembers how to hunt.

Because he is a lightweight Chunkle Puff, Noodle responds instantly when your cat taps him. A gentle bat sends him curving and rolling just far enough to chase. His woven texture offers a satisfying grip for claws and teeth, inviting batting, chewing, carrying, and those little victory laps around the house. Every encounter feels slightly different, guided by your cat’s own paws and the scent that never quite smells the same way twice.

From your perspective, Noodle is a slim, minimalist inchworm that looks as charming on the rug as it does tucked into a gift box. From your cat’s perspective, he is something far more important: a familiar shape pulsing with invisible botanical cues that say “follow me.” Noodle is not just another toy to add to the basket. He is the one they seek out, stash, and proudly bring back again.

FAQ

What is Miracle Nip?
⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ is a proprietary blend of thirteen botanicals developed through scientific research in plant and animal biology. Catnip alone rarely sustains a cat’s interest for long, and many cats do not respond to it at all. Miracle Nip gathers catnip, silver vine, valerian, gall fruit, kuppaimeni, and other herbs long adored by cats, then layers them into something richer and more enduring. It is scientifically shown to awaken curiosity, sustain play through layered scent release, stimulate natural hunting behavior, and re-engage cats who usually ignore toys. 

What makes this cat toy different from others?
Noodle the Inchworm is an artisan-made Chunkle Puff, not a mass-produced trinket. His unique inchworm shape is designed for batting and carrying, his woven texture offers a satisfying grip, and his fill is ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ botanicals rather than flat, single-plant catnip. The result is a toy that looks refined in your home and feels genuinely interesting to your cat.

Is it suitable for cats who usually ignore toys?
Yes. Noodle was created with toy-averse and easily bored cats in mind. His slim, lightweight body is easy to bat and chase, while the layered botanical scent invites repeated investigation: approach, sniff, tap, chase, hide, and return. Many cats who ignore ordinary toys show a clear response when they encounter the combination of Noodle’s shape, texture, and scent.

Do these plants get my cat “high”?
No. The botanicals in ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ do not act like a drug. When cats smell them, the volatile compounds activate scent pathways that echo feline social and pheromonal signals, which cascade into natural hunting and play behaviors. The herbs are not metabolized in your cat’s body. The effect is temporary, scent-based, and aligned with the way cats are wired to respond to the world around them.

How do I keep the scent fresh?
Each Noodle comes with a sealed pouch of herbs. Store the toy in this pouch, or in another sealed container, between play sessions to preserve and refresh the fragrance. Keeping him away from direct sunlight and open air when not in use helps the botanicals stay vibrant for months to years.
