Mooch wants to share his favorite pet toy! Our ever-popular Little Pink Sock Catnip Toys are made in the USA and filled with ultra-potent organic catnip grown in Washington state.
These all-natural gourmet catnip toys will have your pampered kitty singing, "Little Pink Sock, Little Pink Sock!" Available in packs of two or four and available exclusively from the MUTTS Shop.
"Cannot recommend enough!"
Our two cats absolutely LOVE these toys. Our older cat who always tires of toys eventually treats it as his security toy. He doesn't go anywhere without it. And even the little one, who doesn't particularly like catnip, is obsessed. I bought them at Christmas and now it's May and they *still* play with them daily. Cannot recommend enough!

All About the Little Pink Sock: FAQs
The Little Pink Sock is Mooch the cat’s favorite comfort object in the MUTTS comic strip. It’s a small, cherished pink sock that he often carries, cuddles, and sings to.
When did the Little Pink Sock first appear in MUTTS?
The iconic item first appeared in January 2001, when Mooch the cat announced to his pal Earl that he’d fallen in love “at first shight.” The object of his affection? A little pink sock.
Where did the Little Pink Sock come from?
While Patrick has never revealed the true origin of the garment, it’s safe to assume the little sock was a “stray” whose partner had disappeared in the laundry, as fuzzy footwear is so notoriously apt to do.
What is the melody for Mooch's Little Pink Sock song?
It's up to you! We like to think it's open to interpretation. Just as the sock represents life's little unexpected treasures, Mooch's sock song sounds like whatever makes your own heart sing.
