Artisan Catnip Toy | Ruby the Solstice Apple – A Weighted Winter Chunkle Chunk Infused with ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ Botanicals for Cats

Ruby the Solstice Apple carries the spirit of life that endures through winter’s stillness.

In old Solstice traditions, apples were saved through the darkest months as quiet promises of warmth and light yet to return. Ruby brings that same sense of hope into your home, a deep red keepsake for the cats of the Grove when play feels far away.

Designed for cats who crave substance in their play, Ruby is precisely weighted to mimic the heft and balance of small prey, like a chipmunk. Her rounded body rolls, tips, and resists just enough to awaken a cat’s natural hunting rhythm. The dense, woven surface grips claws, while her grounded form settles under their paws so they can stalk, pounce, pin, and unleash full-body bunny kicks without losing their catch. For cats who have outgrown gimmicks, this is play perfected.

Filled with ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ botanicals and engineered through patient, science-led design, Ruby offers more than stimulation, she offers satisfaction. ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹ is scientifically shown to awaken feline curiosity, sustain play through layered scent release, stimulate natural hunting behavior, and re-engage cats who usually ignore toys. The infusion is pressed in the old French tradition of capturing fragrance slowly, preserving the full aromatic character of each plant.

Cats return to Ruby again and again, drawn by her scent, her weight, and the instinctive pleasure of a toy that finally feels “right” in their paws. In every capture, she carries the Solstice promise: even in the quiet of winter, joy waits just beneath the surface.

FAQ

Why are these toys weighted?
Cats are natural hunters, and a toy that is too light can feel insubstantial. Each weighted Chunkle Chunk is calibrated to the weight of a chipmunk, with enough resistance to feel real yet light enough for satisfying play. It is science disguised as instinct.

Will my cat actually notice the difference?
Absolutely. Even cats who usually ignore toys respond to the feel of these. The subtle drag across the floor and the slow, deliberate roll after a pounce trigger prey recognition. That moment when the eyes widen and the whiskers flare is exactly why we make them.

What is inside the toys?
Each one is filled with ⊹˚ Miracle Nip ˚⊹, a chemist-crafted botanical blend of thirteen global herbs including catnip, silver vine, valerian, and gall fruit. The scent is strong and layered, designed to last longer and keep cats engaged through curiosity. The internal weight is sealed, non-toxic, and evenly distributed for long-term safety and balance.

Are they safe for rough players?
Yes. Every toy is artisan-woven for durability and designed to withstand batting, biting, and full-body wrestling. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR HOMES WITH DOGS WHO STEAL CAT TOYS.

What kind of cats love weighted toys most?
All cats, but especially those who bore easily or prefer a realistic hunt. Weighted Chunkle Chunks appeal to mousers, wrestlers, and cats who enjoy stalking, tackling, and pinning prey-like shapes.

Who designs Chunkles?
Chunkles are designed by artists and engineered by scientists trained in both phytochemistry and biology. Every aspect, from the botanical formulation to the tactile weave, is guided by research in feline sensory engagement and plant science.

How do I keep the scent fresh?
When playtime ends, store the toy in a sealed pouch or drawer, away from direct sunlight and open air. Each Chunkle comes with a sealed sachet of herbs in a zipper bag to refresh scent potency over time and extend its appeal.
