Remember yesterday's post about eco-friendly pet toys? Well lo and behold! My manager, Daily News Features Editor Sharyn Betz gave me a package of eco-friendly pet toys from West Paw Design to write about here. It's a coincidence that I just happened to find the info about them on the web. I wrote about the Catnip Turtle although the complimentary package they sent us featured Catnip Fish and the Dog Eco Bone.

Of course I took the toys home to try on my cats Hershey and Marcie. Let's just say that they are very popular...at least with my cats. Talk about potent catnip!!

Hershey loves her fish. She played with this thing non-stop for at least 20 minutes or so before settling down.

Despite the fact that hershey's scent was all over this thing, Marcie decided that she loves it too!

I'm meeting up with some friends who own a Cardigan Corgie mix named Courage, or, Couragio as he's lovingly called. I'll definitely let you know what he thinks!

Go read the latest entry to daily news' green spirited blog. Blogger and eco-friendly chick extaordinaire Stacy Long writes about the latest in safe, eco-friendly dog toys. Plus it's a real funny read. I met her dog Pie, the pug and I must say she is a character.

Here's some more eco-friendly products for the other critters in our lives. West Paw Design sells this organic Catnip Turtle toy for $8. Made of

The SmartyKat Birdboing electronic Sound Toy
