Every time I visit my favorite sushi bar or Chinese restaurant, the Rainbolt Test Kitties feel compelled to give me the did-you-bring-me-a kitty-bag sniff. I can’t help but feel a little guilty when I fill their dishes with shrimp and tuna canned food. But I’ve found a way to compromise. In lieu of a paper-thin bite of hamachi, my Test Kitties get Asian delights catnip toys by Polydactyl Cats. The Chinese Takeout Cat Toy Line offers feline friendly versions of your favorite Asian sauces and appetizers without the sodium, MSG or mess.
The super fun toy four-pack combo is the perfect gift for any lover of Asian cuisine. The Asian Sauce Packets Cat Toy Set, handmade by artist Randi Warhol (no relation to Andy), contains four clever 4” X 2” catnip toys appearing as soy sauce, duck sauce, hot sauce and hot mustard. Warhol’s realistic yet whimsical textile artwork really looks like takeout sauce packages right down to the air bubble on the back. The catnip packets come in transparent condiment bags. There’s even a handwritten thank you note from the designer written on a green receipt page.
The Rainbolt Test Kitties absolutely LOVED these potent catnip toys. The moment I opened the box the strong fragrance of catnip wafted out, and I suddenly I found myself surrounded by cats.
Once I handed the toys to the Test Kitties the spit hit the fan in absolutely the most complimentary way. I found the toys in different parts of the house saturated with cat slobber and enthusiastically swatted with Pawprint of Approval. About the size of real sauce packets, it was perfect for the cats to carry around.
Each linen/cotton canvas toy contains polyester polyfill and two tablespoons of From the Field organic catnip. The sprightly designs are printed in nontoxic water-based dyes.
Individually the sauces have a suggested retail price is $6.99 each plus shipping, and the set retails for $27.99. Here’s a direct link to the Pet Food Direct Duck Sauce and Soy Sauce. Here’s Warhol’s Etsy page.

What a great giveaway!
What a great giveaway….sharing on facebook!
If these toys have passed and satisfied the Rainbolt Test Kitties’ standards, I am sure they will provide entertainment to the cats with whom I and my husband reside as non-payed staff.
Bridget would love one of these!!!!!
What fun! Especially for the Himalayan’s!
Ah….would love to find something my cats react to……but because I run a rescue, with many kinds of animals, and upwards of a hundred or more cats, the cost prohibits me from buying these, but I can recommend them going by what Dusty says. On the other hand I’d love to win the samples for our office kitties.
Me-wow!
These are SOY cute!! My sphynx Patrick “Catrick” Stewart would love playing with these!!
Cattrick Stewart? I love that!
the Rumaks thundercats would love to try these!
Those look awesome! I would love to win those! I shared on Facebook!
I would love to win these! They look like a lot of fun! I shared this on Google+

Oh, these would be PERFECT for our three cats. All my furbabies (five Treeing Walker Coonhounds and three cats – all rescues) have Japanese names. We even had a Guinea Pig named Hachi (she died of old age a while ago). My daughters got me hooked on anime and manga over a decade ago, and since I was already of lover of Oriental food and culture, it just seemed fitting to give our furbabies Japanese names. A couple of the dogs even know their commands in Japanese. So, again, these would fit perfectly into our style, not to mention I think our cats (especially my daughter’s one-year-old, Arata) would go nuts for these.
Linda,
Congratulations. You are the winner!
