Toss, Bat, and Kick!

Jumpaws 2 pack interactive catnip cat kicker with tassel, bite resistant chew toy, crinkle kicker, accessories for indoor cat. As soon as I bought this birthday toy for our cats, Kai and Pukini, they went crazy. I couldn’t take the packaging off fast enough, and they could smell that catnip all over the toy. I just tossed them the toys, and they ran and started grabbing them like they were prey. What I liked about this toy is, they individually had their own catnip kicker toy with tassel to play with, and this lets them go wild and get rid of some stress and anxiety. Both Kai and Pukini seem anxious at times, and has some anxious personalities. Both cat(s)run to their toy, and grab at the toy, and start taking their back paws excitedly, batting and kicking at it, so it couldn’t get away. I loved watching them play with this toy, and have some cute photos and videos to share.

The one thing or two I liked about this catnip kicker toy is it had a tassel on one end of the toy. We don’t have any other of our toys that have a tassel, and wanted to try this new kind of toy. It’s a toy that’s not on a wand, but it has nice and soft fabric with a cat toy in mind, but dog prints on the toy. Anything with catnip will work for a toy with our male cats in mind. I felt like it was the correct length or size for our cats to grab, and kick at the toy. It wasn’t too small, or too big. Also since it wasn’t on a wired wand, it didn’t get tangled up, which was nice.

Also, when I made that crinkle sound before I tossed the toy to them, it got them curious to run and play for some fun exercise. I loved the four different designs they had, besides the dog printed, cat printed, sherpa, and floral varieties plus cute different colors. I would take the tassel and waved it in front of their face, and they would bat at it a few times. It was funny to just watch their reaction to when they ran to the toy, and would excitedly take their front paws, and hold onto the toy, while they took their back paws and frantically kick at their prey so they couldn’t get away. If you enjoy watching them wrestle with a toy, this is the one for your cat(s).

Multi-Level Tower of Fun, Part 2!

After Dave assembled the Heybly Cat Tree 73 inches XXL large cat tower for indoor cats, multi-level cat furniture condo for large cats with padded plush perch, cozy basket and scratching posts with light gray color, on the tiled floor, we decided to move it. Like what was explained before in part one,if there was a fall from our cats, on the tiled floor, we didn’t want them to get hurt. Once the cat tree was up on the tiled floor, in a video you will see, Pukini clawed his way up slowly. If you notice, the cat perch with ball with string underneath, was still on the cat tree at that point. Afterwards, Dave decided to move the cat tree to our carpeted floor in the living room floor, where we felt like it was a better fit to stay. If they fell, there would be padding of the carpet to protect them.

Next, after we moved the cat tree to the carpet, Dave unscrewed the second perch, with the ball underneath, because Pukini was having a hard time going up and around the second perch/porch and around to maneuver around the cat tree. So Dave unscrewed the second level of the perch, and took it down, and you will see photos and or video’s of what it looks like now. More room to move and grow, and it looks like a better place to move up and down and around the cat tree.

Also, after several days of sniffing and exploration, it was time for Kai to give it his scratching post cat of approval. He kept on doing this for a minute or so. We started thinking, just to help them feel more comfortable, a boost up on the cat tree, should help. So we went out to our garage and brought in the older cat condo from, our older cat tree. Think of it as training wheels on a bike, you need training wheels on there for help, build confidence and balance so you can ride your bike freely with out training wheels. Same way for our cats, they need some help to jump up on the older cat tree, to get up to the next levels of the new cat tree. Once they reached where they wanted to go, they had the newer confidence to explore more and more of the cat tree. They have gotten up to try out all the condo’s, and the flat perches/porches, but have not used the hammock, or the basket. They paw at both, but I just use the basket and hammock for toy storage, since we have so many toys. The top upper square shaped perches/porches have not been used, yet, just pawed at. They are a little scared of going up that high, but maybe eventually they will attempt to try it. No worries if they don’t.

When we played with the GoCat Da Purr-Peller, we played and played, and Pukini went up their cat tree, comfortably and looking rested inside the upper second condo, while the toy was worn out from Pukini grabbing at the toy. It was so much fun, and he had a great time exercising, and Pukini said we got to get these bugs, and we don’t want to see them again. Ha Ha I say. You will see a photo of that as well. The second photo, is of Kai deciding he must try this cat tree, and he just slowly crawled up to the second condo, and went inside of it and turned around, and standing up looks down from the cat tree, saying I did it.

The plusses: Nice and cushy two condo’s, to lay or sleep or relax on, and ten scratching posts, a hammock, and a basket, even though they don’t used it for anything, except storage for their toys, and putting their treats in there to hunt for treats. I like the ball toys hanging down from the perches, although Pukini just batted the ball once with his paw, and that’s it. But they are there in case they want to play with the ball toys. Pretty good sized condos, and one is just six inches bigger than the other. Lots and lots of scratching posts which we like.

The negatives: I wished the flat perches/porches were big inside and were bigger on the sides, and I wished the perches were more stable, and were a bit more roomy to sit down and move. Yea I know I should have measured the perches to what we used to have, but we needed something new. Finally, we had to take the second perch from the left with the ball toy attached to it down, and so Dave unscrewed it, because our cat Pukini couldn’t move and get around, and get down, and move to go into the condo below. Now since we have removed that perch, our cats are happier and can get to any part of the cat tree, without the cat perches in his way. Stay tuned next week, with a new toy, and a video of Kai trying out the cat tree. I wished the cat tree had carpet for longer lasting, not a thinner material on all parts of the cat tree.

Disclaimer:Despite what the description says, we feel this cat tree is not suitable for larger breed cats, like for example: Maine Coon Cats. Finally, research it, and try this cat tree out, and give it a shot. You don’t know what works unless you try it. Our cats are getting more used to it, but now they have this tower of fun playground to have for many years to come.

Multi-Level Tower of Fun, Part 1!

Dave and I were were so excited to buy our one of many gifts to our cats, Kai and Pukini’s 6th Birthday. I did as best as I could, and researched online to find the best cat tree on Amazon. Too bad you can’t ask the cats their choice of cat tree. So I looked at several of them. We bought on May 17th, of 2023, a Heybly Cat Tree 73 inches extra extra large cat tower for indoor cats, multi-level cat furniture condo for large cats with padded plush perch, cozy basket and scratching posts in light gray. After buying this cat tree, it arrived on May 18th, and then my husband, Dave assembled it together for our first photo on May 19th of this year. Instead of a cream color, we got a light gray color, and I wanted plushness, and one bigger condo, and one small sized condo, a variety of perches, ten scratching posts and more. Unfortunately the basket, and hammock has just been barely utilized, and we just put some of their toys in the basket and hammock and their treats to hide.

To our one smaller cat, Pukini this is a place to play with this toys, nap, and just rest and relax, and run up our cat tree, and more. On the other hand our bigger cat Kai, he was was not so sure of this cat tree. He is a bigger boy than his kennel mate, Pukini. Like some people, some animals don’t like changes, and get used to what they like. Just to let you know, you do not need any extra tools, and everything came in the box, that Dave put together. We decided to put the cat tree initially on the tiled floor, near our side door, because our former one used to be there. We took our old one down, because it was looking dirty and shoddy looking. The reason I wanted to write this blog in part one, is because there was some photos of the first time, I just wanted to post. In the next week, on part two you will see a video of our cat Pukini, on tiled floor running up the cat tree, and more to come but on the carpeted floor.

When it was assembled, we put it in the corner, and our cats were not sure about it. As Dave was assembling the cat tree together, there in the box was a velcro like cat scratch, to attach on the cat tree. Dave put it on the there, but Pukini didn’t seem interested in it, and it was in the way, of Pukini trying to get down to the second flat porch or perch on the right. So we took it off the cat tree, and it’s no use for us. We also haven’t taken this strap, and attached it to our wall for stability. It just wasn’t needed. It came, to use so your cat would not fall, so we just left it hanging on the cat tree not being used.

Finally, we waited and waited to see what the cats would do, and Pukini decided to say, I’ll give it a try Mommy! Pukini gave it a try and ran up the side of the cat tree on the left side, and went up to the second perch. Look for that next week. So our poor cat, could get up there, but had a hard time with maneuvering around. It is the second perch from the left side, Pukini was trying to figure out, you will see in photos/video(s) of how he got down off the cat tree. He did find his way down, but was cautious about doing that. Finally, Pukini did check out the bigger lower condo, on the right side, and he looked cute and cozy in the photo. Finally, materials are: Particle board exterior cover: Faux fur fabric, and natural sisal rope. The perches had three ball toys hanging by a stronger string hooked underneath each of the three perches. Cute as the balls looked to play with, underneath the perches, Pukini just played with them once or twice, and that was that so far.

Stay tuned for next weeks posting, of Part. 2, on our blog, see ya next week. Here is the link.
