Oh Chute, Part 3!
After posting the previous tunnel/chute blogs, we needed the last part, the tunnel extender. We decided to take the the smaller tunnel, and inserted the one end of the smaller tunnel, to the other end of the larger tunnel. As what has been described before, there are 2 different entrances to the tunnel, and a middle hole in the tunnel to check out. Besides toys, it’s like come and get the treats and smile for the camera. Hopefully if not one of the cats, but both will hopefully come through the tunnel. The good thing about extending the tunnel is it gives the cats, more fun to run through. Sometimes they just want to chill out and relax, and rest. Finally, this enrichment toy is a must for the cat/cats and your family to enjoy for many years.
Just one more thing to add: You can buy one or both of the tunnels, and connect them together. This way, so you don’t feel like you have to buy a 3rd long tunnel. I play these tunnel toys all the time with our cats, Kai and Pukini and they love it. Thank you to Youngever, and Petlinks for these cute cat enrichment toy tunnels, and check them out, and your cat and you’ll be glad you did. This is the link.

Oh Chute, Part 2!
Youngever smaller chute/tunnel with assortment of 24 cat/kitten toys and more included. Like our previous post of another chute/tunnel we blogged about, we decided to get another tunnel for our cats to play with. This smaller lime green color of a tunnel was a perfect fit for our cat Pukini, even with his long bushy tail hanging out at the other end of the tunnel. There is two entrances to get in the tunnel, and the dimensions are: 11.54 x 10.94 x 2.76 inches. Besides the tunnel it has a nice assortment of toys, for a great price. Next, these other 2 cute toys are tied to the tunnel hanging down, and it’s fun watching the cats bat them around once in awhile. What I like is Pukini is a smaller cat, and he likes to go in and just chill and relax. Kai likes to peek his head in the tunnel to get treats, and chase Pukini around.
Finally, for your information, there is no batteries to install in this tunnel, and yea I was so happy about that. I did have to cut the ties off of the tunnel, because Kai wanted to eat the ties. What I liked was this tunnel was smaller in length, but lighter in weight to pick up. Keep an eye on your cats, so that no toy parts or anything breaks off. Have a good time watching your cat/cats going around chasing each other, enjoying some toy enrichment fun. Thanks Youngever for a great product to enjoy for many years to come. Here is the link.

Oh Chute, Part 1!
Petlinks Twinkle Chute Electronic Light Up Rustling Activity Tunnel Cat Toy - Gray/Green, One Size- This chute/tunnel is a must for your cats. The tunnel has these dimensions:35 x 9.5 x 9.5 inches long. Also, it is straight with entrances on both sides of the tunnel, and at the the top of the tunnel, there is a hole in the middle, so that the cats can just jump in and sneak up on one another. It can be used for a variety of fun: Treat enrichment, playing hide n’ seek, games with their toys, toy storage, and more. I decided to use several Temptations Classic Crunchy and Soft Chicken Treats, and throw them in their tunnel to see what they would do. Both Kai and Pukini ran quickly through the tunnel, and they both ate all of the treats. It gives them the hunting instincts they need to go after their food. Kai especially likes the the middle hole of the tunnel, because he can get at the treats faster. When they go in the tunnel to chase one another, the tunnel makes this crinkling sound, of like say, moving prey. I’ll even put toys in the tunnel, which they both like, and it excites them. I love it when they both wiggle their butts, and go after one another in and out of the tunnel. It’s like my turn, my turn. Finally, I gather all of their toys, and put them inside the tunnel for a temporary storage, so I can vacuum the living room floor.
Last, just to let you know, a few things about this product: I had to cut the ties off of the tunnel, because Kai wanted to chew and eat them like they were food. When we bought this tunnel toy it came with batteries included, and would light up but after time, we couldn’t replace the batteries. You don’t need the batteries in this tunnel for it to work and be fun, because it still works. We did try, and if you do want to try to replace them after the tunnel lights die: You will need 2 LR44 batteries. When it was lit up, the tunnel got our cats attention to play, but it still does without having to be lit up. I highly recommend getting this product because it still works really good for treat enrichment, playing hide n’ seek, toy storage, games, and so much more. Thank you Petlinks for this great tunnel/chute toy fun for yourself, cat, and your family to enjoy. Here is the link.

Wowzer Yowzer!
Yeowww Catnip Tub, 2-ounce-All I have to do is open up our kitchen cupboard door, and then shake the tub of Yeowww catnip, and the cats come running. Wowzer Yowzer they are ready for some catnip fun. I decided to take a pinch, or finger and thumbs worth amount of catnip and I proceeded to put it on both the carpet and area rug. As soon as Kai and Pukini try out the catnip, they both react to it, but in different ways. Pukini seems to get more of a high from it, and rolls and rolls on the floor, but gets mean when Kai wants to come over to get some of his catnip. The interesting thing is Kai likes it but, he acts like a mellower cat from getting a little high from the catnip. So maybe it doesn’t affect him like it does Pukini. But he does enjoy rubbing on the floor with the catnip scent. Watch when you give your cat or cats catnip, because you don’t know how they might react. For example, because they are already wild as kittens can be, I wouldn’t strongly advise given the catnip to them. We have two 5-1/2 year old cats, and they react strongly to it, and so watch your cat or cats, so they don’t hurt one another with how they react to the catnip.
Next, it’s made in the USA, and according to online it is potent with leaf and flower tops as well. No chemicals or pesticides, and when you get a chance put the catnip on your cats toys. You can order 2 different sizes of it: 2 ounces, or 4 ounces, and we have the 2 ounce size tub. Finally, use it as some enrichment fun, so it provides some joy to your cats. Give it a try, what do you have to lose. Here is the link.

Chase The Rainbow!
Rainbow Cat Charmer- This is a bright multicolored wand like toy, that looks like the shape of a long, thin worm. As soon as I take it out of the cat’s toy box, I started twirling, and wiggling it around and around for the cats to chase it. I drag it on the floor this way and that way, and then I have it go wiggling up in the air, for the cats to reach up high for it. The cats don’t know whether to jump up in the air, or run in this direction, or in the other direction. I move it as fast as I can, to keep our cats guessing.
Sadly Kai chewed a piece of it off the ends, but thankfully he didn’t swallow, chew or eat the end piece of it, and we can still play with the toy. Just be careful to watch your cat, so no pieces of it get chewed off.
Here is the best thing about this toy: It is made in the USA, and your cat, gets great exercise. Also it is durable and safe, and is unbreakable. Finally it is colorfast and nontoxic, and is fun for all kittens, cats and kids. Here is the link.
Just to let you know when you click on the above link, it wasn’t quite the product we have, ours isn’t as long as this one is online, and the width is wider online than ours is I believe.

Catch The Birdie!
I get this birdie wand toy out, and the cats get really excited and ready to play. I take it out, and it’s a nice and bright fuchsia, and lime green color to get our cats attention. The birdie like feather toy, is out of his box, and I start flying it around, and the feathers move like a bird. I whirl it around, and around, and then I have it go lower. The cats get so excited, and I am dragging the bird all over the place, and the cats jump on chairs, or anywhere they can. They jump and pounce and grab the bird with their powerful claws, and bite on it like it’s a real bird, that they’ve hunted and killed. They run, and chase this bird in different directions, and it’s great for your cat for exercise, and they never get bored.
This birdie wand toy is fun, durable, long lasting and helps keep cats happy and healthy. What a great cat gift for a cat birthday! Finally, the natural feather teaser with safe non-toxic dyes, cat- friendly, and the natural feather inspire cat’s wildness. Plus, they will never have a dull time catching this birdie! Here is the link.
Just to let you know when you click on the above link, this was not the toy we bought, but a different version of it. Ours that we ordered, was just 1 wired wand and 1 bird feather attachment to connect to the wand. Theirs included: 2 pc cat wand+2pcs wiggle worms+5pcs feather teaser refills, with retractable cat wand, and is adjustable from 15 inches to 38 inches, with 20 inches string, and more. Our wand, wasn’t retractable at all, and was just a wand toy.
