# Addictive Cat Toys Misohandmade's Catnip Toy Plays Off the Candy Crush Obsession By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catnip-toy References: [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/179797659/catnip-crush-cat-toys-candy-crush) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/misohandmade) These adorable felt catnip toy designs from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) user MisoHandmade take their shape from the [uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skiwear-rentals) addictive Candy Crush game app. The 'Catnip Crush' toys are filled with [organic catnip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lynx-with-catnip),and packaged just like a real box of fancy candies, which comes wrapped with a bow. The toys are made with felt American merino wool blend and are stuffed with hypo-allergenic fiber to give the toys that extra plush look. Since all of the cat toys are handmade, there are some variances to be expected when ordering. One thing you can be sure of is that the Catnip Crush set includes three candies plus a Color Bomb, but just like a box of chocolates, you can't be too sure what will be in store since what goes into the box is random. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Felt Catnip Toys:** Handmade felt catnip toys are disrupting the traditional plastic cat toy industry by offering a unique, organic alternative. - **Candy-themed Pet Products:** The trend of candy-themed pet products, like the 'Catnip Crush' toys, is disrupting the traditional pet product industry by offering fun, playful alternatives to the usual pet toys. - **Personalized Pet Products:** The trend of handmade cat toys, like MisoHandmade's designs, is disrupting the traditional pet product industry by offering personalized, unique products that pet owners can customize according to their preferences and their pet's needs. ### Where This Applies - **Pet Products:** The pet product industry can take advantage of the trend of unique, personalized pet toys to offer customized pet products that can cater to the individual needs and preferences of pet owners. - **Handmade Products:** The handmade products industry can take advantage of the trend of felt catnip toys to offer unique, organic products that stand out from the mass-produced goods available in the market. - **Online Marketplace Platforms:** Online marketplace platforms, like Etsy where MisoHandmade sells their catnip toys, can take advantage of the trend of personalized pet products to offer a platform for small businesses to sell unique and handmade products to pet owners worldwide. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Plush Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purroom.md) - [Feline Adventure Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventures-in-friskies-world.md) - [Multi-Mode Smart Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerble-wicked-ball-m3.md) - [Humorous Cat Collectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tired-cats-gachapon.md) - [Pet-Friendly Meat Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonkers-purrpops.md) - [Contemporary Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Cat-Furniture-1.md) - [Dual-Texture Cat Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-supplements.md) - [Cat-Themed Vday Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuddle-collection.md) - [Responsive Egg-Like Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-pet-toy.md)
