Bird Is The Word!

Hartz Just For Cats Chirping Bird Interactive Plush Catnip Cat Toy-This was a toy we bought for our cats, Kai and Pukini a few years ago for Christmas. The toy was in a bag in our bedroom closet until Christmas. The story goes like this: In the living room, Dave happen to look over, and here is Pukini with his Hartz Just For Cats Chirping Bird Interactive Plush Catnip Cat Toy, and the poor bird, and his feathers, were all tattered, and he caught his prey, and had the biggest smile on his face. He hunted and caught this bird all by himself!

The poor bird looked like it had been thru the mill. The blue feathers on his tail were all chewed up and he looked like he lost a round with our cat. We ended up buying another one. So after all these years I brought it out, and even though there is catnip inside the bird, he wasn’t quite as interested in it. So I put more catnip on the bird, and on our area rug, and he was ready to play wildly with the bird.

When I threw it up in the air, and or batted it around, this cute bird toy, had this cute but loud chirping sound. I added more catnip on the area rug in the living room floor and on the bird, and Pukini rolled over and over on his sides, trying to grab at the bird. It was so funny watching the interactive bird toy, with Pukini pawing at it. On a scale of 1-5, my husband and I give it a 4 out of 5 stars, meaning a better than average toy. Not bad for close to eight dollars and fifty cents.

It definitely brought out the fun playing and hunting for his prey instinct in our cat Pukini, and trying to chase, and swat at it. Pukini loves feathers, and loves to sniff, paw and chew at it. I loved how after rubbing and snorting up the catnip, and rolling his body side to side, how much he acted like a kitten to now an adult of over 6 years old. What a beautiful bird it is with some nice bright blue, red, and more colors. Have a fun bird is the word, chirping time.

Snack Slinger!

Furhaven Snack Slinger Treat Dispenser Training Toy - I was rummaging through our ottoman toy storage container, and found this different kind of toy that can sling treats to your pets, or in our case our cats. My husband Dave had an easier time maneuvering this toy, a certain way in order to sling the treats, but once you keep practicing, than it worked ok for me. I feel the need to give it a two out of five stars, because at first I had a hard time figuring out how to launch their snacks in this launcher toy at first. The positives of this product were, you needed no batteries, and it wasn’t attached to a messy tangly wire like wand. My complaint is, it does not launch the treats very far at all, and you could throw them by hand even farther. It said online, that it can launch these treats as far as ten feet which it did at times, or it landed around one-two feet from where I launched it as well.

You can use this snack slinger not only on your cat(s), but it’s for dogs as well, and comes in a variety of colors: Black, Green, Pink, and Light Blue, and what we like is, it is lightweight and the dimensions are L6.5" x 5" x 2”. Also when we launched the snacks, are cats didn’t have to go far to retrieve them. I feel they need to go back to the drawing board, and make it more user friendly, and figure out a way for the treats to be slung farther. When you put the cat treat in that launcher hole opening area, just put one treat at a time in, so it doesn’t get jammed up. We put these rectangular looking one inch approximately cat treats in, and pushed down the launcher and pressed to launch the snack, and there it goes. This toy can give your cat some exercise, depending how far each launch of treat goes.

The nice thing about this toy is, it’s another slinger toy to have, plus it’s seven dollars, and very inexpensive. Have fun, playing with your cat(s), and have a great and flinging and slinging fun time.

Cat Scratch Fever!

SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post- We have had one of these SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Posts before for years, but now it’s wearing out a bit. So we felt it was time to get another one for our two male cats, Kai and Pukini We put it right next to their cat tree, for added enrichment. It’s so fun to watch what they attempt to do, just scratching away, and getting a good stretch. I put a treat or two up top of cat scratch, and I watch and watch to see if they will be excited to take their paw(s) to reach up and get that treat. I took some photos and videos, and I just love it when Pukini scratches away, and than tilts his head back and looks over his shoulder at us to say, “Do you see me Mommy and Daddy, did I do good?” Kai doesn’t react that way, but he can scratch away when he’s in the mood, or just be a little lazy about it. Either way, it’s just fun to see what they do each time they use the cat scratch.

It is close to fifty dollars, but a good deal for yourself, and your cats. Your cats will thank you and so will you, because it’s a good thing to get one or two of these, so they don’t destroy any furniture you have in the house. Believe me, they have already destroyed a section of my Mom’s furniture, and one cat ruined our wicker hamper, and more. What we like is it is tall at thirty-two inches high according to online, and it is sturdy which we like, for example sixteen inches by sixteen inches base eliminates tipping and wobbling. Kai needs something very strong, that he can use to help him utilize those strong claws of his. Less snagging on the carpet and more. According to online, and my husband said, this was really easy to put together using two screws, and two dowels to go from the box to your living room. We ordered the color brown for the cat scratch, but it looks like cream, and goes well with our carpet, and it goes well with the scratching posts colors on their newer cat tree. Finally, it has a durable sisal fiber design, to handle the strength of your cats claws and reaching up to grab at it.

Overall, we have been very happy with this product, and your cat will thank you, and so will the family who won’t have to be concerned about destroyed furniture. Enjoy your cat scratch product for many years to come.
