About Friends of Normie
Friends of Normie started as a cat rescue organization. You can adopt or foster cats through them.
One of their rescue cats was in really bad shape. But he managed to survive a lot!
His new cat parent was taking him to the vet. And she put a cat toy in his carrier to comfort him.
Unfortunately, he ate the stuffing inside the toy, and he died.
That’s what sparked the passion behind creating cat-safe toys and products.
Plus, purchasing the products benefits other cats in need! 20% of proceeds go back to funding cat rescue efforts. Win win!
Friends of Normie scratcher review
The cat scratcher base is made out of pine wood, and the scratcher part is recyclable cardboard.
The base is very sturdy and comes with screws that are easy to put together. You can style the scratcher so that it is flat, vertical, or slightly slanted.
I went with flat because Jericho already has 2 vertical scratchers.
So far, Jericho has scratched on it every morning and in the evening when we play.
He also likes to play with the toy mice on the scratcher.
The scratchers are recyclable, and you keep the base! The base is very sturdy and built to last.
It’s nice that you can reuse the base instead of buying a whole new scratcher.

Friends of Normie wicker cat bed review
Jericho loves this bed! It’s replaced his old one on my desk!
The bed is very large and comes with 2 linen cushions.
There’s a round cushion that fills the bottom of the bed. And a longer thinner cushion that hugs your cat while he’s laying inside.
This is Jericho’s go-to resting spot while I’m working. He loves to curl up in this bed!
It’s soft and super comfy for him. He’s got lots of space to cuddle, and it fits perfectly on my desk.
The cushions are white and hand wash only.
I would love to have removable, washable covers for the cushions. Jericho has dark fur, and the cushions are already covered in his hair.
Buy the FON wicker bed.
Friends of Normie toy mice review
The toy mice are handmade out of yarn. There’s a hemp bag inside that’s filled with catnip.
The toys are soft and fun to play with. Jerich loves pawing at them and tossing them around. He kicks them around the room when he gets the zoomies.
They smell good, but I didn’t smell the catnip inside. It also didn’t spark the usual catnip frenzy with Jericho.
But you can dip the mice toys in your own catnip or silvervine if you want to entice your cat to play.
I also tie the mice on Jericho’s cotton wand toy to change it up.
All 3 products are great. And I appreciate their commitment to producing cat-safe and eco-friendly products.
Plus, purchasing from them supports cats in need!
