Every once in a while, a new toy hits the pet space and becomes an instant hit. Take the Lamb Chop plush dog toy, for example — the pups can’t get enough of it. There’s a cat toy at Target right now that may be the next big thing in the toy sphere. We may not understand why these toys become our pets’ instant favorites, but we have no choice but to give our furry friends what they want.
The Flying Squirrel Cat Toy from Target’s Boots & Barkley brand is an adorable little flying squirrel with plush faux fur, felt feet and ears, and a super bushy tail. It’s stuffed with plush filling and catnip and seems to be pretty basic in terms of construction — there’s really no bells or whistles.
But for some reason, cats just love this flying squirrel. Pet parents have even given it a nearly perfect rating on Target’s website. Maybe it’s the catnip. Maybe it’s the tail. Whatever it is, reviewers say that as soon as they have brought this toy home, it becomes the go-to.

“My kitty loves them!” one cat parent wrote in their five-star review. “We now have four [because] she loves them so much! She plays fetch with them and carries them around with her everywhere!”
Another pet parent added, “We have a kitten that I bought this for since it’s small. She hasn’t liked any of the other catnip toys. This however she loves. She carries it around everywhere including her litter box! I will be stocking up on this. Best $3 I have ever spent.”
And someone else wrote that their cats and dog are totally obsessed with this toy. “Our cats love this!! Actually, our dog does too,” they said. “We constantly have to put it out of the dog’s reach. Well made and very cute!!”
For just $3, you can give your cat the best playtime experience she’ll ever have. Forget those felt mice and put those battery-powered laser toys away. According to pet parents, all you need is this little plush flying squirrel from Target and your cat is guaranteed to have a blast.
