Aumüller Broccoli Valerian Cat Toy

My cat loves it!!I have never seen him play like this before!!The only negative is that valerian stays inside the broccoli only with a zip...It comes out very often...

Since getting this toy, I found out I'm allergic to valerian. The smell is really strong. My tomcat loved it. Cute design. It could be a bit bigger for large cats.

The cats love playing with it, but now the whole place reeks of sweaty feet. Disgusting smell. Is that normal? Asking for a friend :P
