Cats are notoriously unimpressed with our grand gestures. You plan an entire enrichment setup, and they fall in love with the one crinkly ball from three apartments ago. That’s why it’s kind of a big deal that multiple pet parents are lining up to call this under-$10 set of Valentine’s Day catnip hearts “perfect for little Valentine’s Day gifts for the kitties” — and even cute enough to earn “many compliments” as décor.
The five-piece set rings up at about $9 right now (usually around $13) and includes pastel heart “candies” sized for swatting and kicking. Each one measures roughly 3.2 by 3.9 inches and is stuffed with soft filling plus a dose of catnip, so cats can grab on, bunny-kick, and haul them from room to room. One shopper, who titled their review “10/10 would buy again!,” said, “Kiki LOVED his catnip conversation hearts! So much so that we had to do a 10th birthday photo shoot with them! My Valentine’s day boy had a blast!!!”
Visually, the festive catnip toys look like the classic conversation candies: bright colors, stitched phrases, and that squishy, rounded heart shape that photographs well on couches, shelves, and in front of very patient cats. “I absolutely love the heart cat toys that I got from MallMall6,” one reviewer wrote. “I used them for valentine decorations and got many compliments on them.” They also noted that the catnip inside “doesn’t smell overwhelming,” which is helpful if you’re using them as both toy and tabletop accent.
Shoppers keep calling the Valentine’s Day cat toy set easy gift material, too. One person wrote, “So cute! Perfect for little valentines day gifts for the kitties!” Another bought sets for multiple households: “I got these for my cat and my sister’s cat and oh my gosh they are HOOKED! They will not stop playing with them.” Others mention cats falling asleep while holding the hearts or carrying them from place to place, which lines up with the brand’s focus on soft, durable fabrics and pet-safe materials meant for daily play.
One review even called them a win for a blind cat: “She loves them! So soft and also crunchy sounds for her to easily find them. She will carry them around everywhere!”
So if your Valentine’s Day plans include spoiling the cats as much as the humans, this under-$10 cat heart toy set checks a lot of boxes: catnip toy, photo prop, and seasonal décor that’s already earning compliments — and plenty of playtime.
