Kitty Hooch has an interesting story. In 2001 we started our business with $60 in grocery money. Virtually every aspect of our business breaks with the conventional models. We feel the market niche we serve has been in need of qaulity, value and new ideas. Read about it here and be sure to look at our 110% favorite toy guarantee.
When it comes to Catnip both Thor and I are snobs. He won't play or get so excited about anyone else's catnip except for Kitty Hooch! I will never try anyone else's product but yours. We moved away to AZ a couple of years ago. Lucky for us you have web service! Not only that but I have never seen anyone else respond so quickly! You are the best, thank you for all that you do for the awesome cats in the world! Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day!
She loves Kitty Hooch! Cosmo is the most precocious in your face cat we have ever met! She has had her picture in the local newspaper and likes to watch Animal Planet and Garfield the movie. She also communicates with her dad man on a telepathic level.
We got Neo to distract Cosmo and keep her from harassing Lacy. While Neo is also wild he can be the perfect gentleman and he is also quite a lover. Neo has found his place as much more than a distraction. He is only a little grouchy at times in his new role as Mr Alpha cat.
Mittens has been our tester cat from across the street for some time. She was out while the dogs were in. She started staying in a 16 inch cube cat house I built her. We took her in during a bad cold spell and she decided it was heaven. She has gone from antisocial to a lap cat and greeter.
Ashton came into to our home June 16, 2006. He was 10 weeks old when we got him and he has beautiful blue eyes. He is easy going and playful and big for his age. He also has a tail that looks like it belongs on a cougar.
Rose came to brighten our lives June 16, 2006. She was 8 weeks old and wagged her tail like a dog. She is curious and precocious and she and Cosmo are a pair. Rose has long legs and a very long tail as well as tortie coloring and she purrs very loudly.
Monte led an interesting life. He was given up at a young age where he supposedly had problems with children and he was to be put down. Monte became an unwanted cat in a cage, a lab cat, for a year and a half. Our friend Lise Beals worked at the clinic and got permission to take him home. When she needed to find a new home for her cats we took Monte. He is the most affectionate, sweet and gentle of all our cats.
We called Max the handsome cat and king of the nip. Max joined our family November 13th, 1992. In March 2006 he was diagnosed with hyper-thyroid condition and possible bone cancer. Max cheated death a number of times. Just after midnight March 20th, 2006 he expired very peacfully. Max was a exceptional alpha male because he welcomed all our cats and was totally emotionally secure with us.
Max was not cuddly unless he was pawing your head and chewing your fingers while you tried to sleep. He could be annoying and frustrating but it was clear he loved us and we loved him. Max followed us everywhere. He was the heart of our home and business. He lives on in our hearts and his picture is on our toy packaging.
She thought the 12 step program was a plan for sneaking into the greenhouse. Lacey deserves credit for destroying the catnip plant that led to Kitty Hooch. Here she is caught in the catnip.
On May 25th, 2008 Lacey was in our back yard and the gate had been left open. Three neighborhood dogs notorious for causing trouble had gotten loose and got in our yard and killed poor Lacey and challenged us when we came outside. We will remember our beloved Lacey as we grieve her terrible death.
I love delivering cat furniture. It seems like cats are almost always ready to throw caution to the wind and and explore their new palaces. This was one happy cat and he thought the delivery guy was pretty cool too.

The small and large tubs of catnip will be available late September or even early October. Our growing season is running 6 - 8 weeks late due to an unusually wet and colder than normal spring. On top of that, this was a year that we replanted the field so less than optimal springtime conditions set us behind from the get-go. Watch this space for updated reports on availability!

It never ceases to amaze me that there are three things you can see in cat toys that we would never accept for our children. Low quality content, severe lack of durability and life threatening danger. We are always looking at safety factors for children, but what about our cats? Poor quality ingredients and construction is unacceptable, but dangerous is downright criminal. Yet you can go to your chain pet stores and fine the dangerous toys right there in no short supply. What is dangerous?
Toys with eyes made from beads or buttons. These can become lodged in your cat's throat and they can choke to death.
Toys with little bells are particulary bad as they often have the bell on a short piece of elastic that is easy to chew though and the bells are larger and more apt to choke a cat if swallowed.
Elastic toys that hang down with a toy on them! I've had several people tell me that they found their cats tangled up with elastic around their necks where they thought they were going to lose their cat.
Materials that may contain dangerous chemicals. Not to speak ill of manufacturing in other parts of the world but do we know how safe or clean their manufacturing is?
We want you to know that our Kitty HoochTM toys have no items attached that are dangerous to swallow. Our growing operation is 100% organic. Our wool and leather are washed before making the toys, and all our bungee products have fabric around the elastic. This not only enhances their durability but it also makes it safe for your cat to play with. It changes the characteristics of the elastic so that it does not tend to want to wrap around your cat's neck. Kitty Hooch is all about the very best for your cat and nothing less.
Kitty Hooch started when we discovered our cats we thought didn't like catnip toys did like catnip. So we made catnip toys and they loved it. We discovered the entire industry had abandoned quality in pursuit of profit and price competition. Since 2001 our customers have applauded our work, shaped our vision and inspired new designs and products. Kitty Hooch has always been interactive. Help us continue to better service to you, our valued customers.
Our simple concepts... Quality and value are always better than cheap trash. Products should exceed expectations. Organic catnip and recycled materials are sensible solutions. Safety is tantamount to design. Your cat deserves the vary best. Kitty Hooch is the very best, and the only cat care products that come with satisfaction guarantees. Our mission is to insure every Kitty Hooch product is the most carefully researched and lovingly produced anywhere. We settle for nothing less than excellence.
We also have some phots in memory of our dog.
