Squid Game!

What is pink, has catnip, is a kicker toy, makes crinkling sounds, has five pink tentacles and has a bell sound to it? Give up guessing? This is called, Whisker City Squid Kicker Cat Toy for cats. We thought of a title called Squid Game, because it’s a game, and it’s a squid like toy. This toy got mixed results, from Dave and I, and our cats Kai and Pukini. But one thing for sure, they loved the catnip in the toy, the ribbons at the end, and the tentacles to play with, and more. I took the squid toy off of the back of the cardboard packaging, and let both cats sniff it at first and than I wanted to put more catnip on it. I dipped it into the tub of catnip like I was trying to bread a chicken cutlet. and the cats played a bit with the toy, with rolling on their side, but that was it. The mixed result is from our cats as they attempted to play with the Whisker City Squid Kicker Cat Toy, but only grabbed at it for say seconds, or so. I loved the crinkle sound it made and got this excited and interested look on their faces. The bell sound, made a cute ring to it, but not to loud, plus I loved the tentacles feel of the toy.

When they were on the floor, they first just got excited from the catnip I sprinkled on the floor, and when Kai was on his back I couldn’t resist doing this: I took the Whisker City Squid Kicker Cat Toy, and placed it on his back like he was doing yoga, with his legs, and paws and body all stretched out. It was a photo I couldn’t resist taking, and he looked rested and relaxed. In the next photo, Kai is just chilling after sniffing up all of the catnip, of the toy on the floor. Pukini one time, just rolled on his side and sniffed and chewed at the tentacles of the toy, and kicked a bit at it with his hind legs.

Overall, give this toy a try, because your cat()s might like this toy, because you never know what is going to be so interesting of a toy, to capture their interest for that special photo or video.

Zalalova Cat Window Perch!

Zalalava Cat Window Perch was our next enrichment for the cats, and we wanted to give it a try. When it arrived at Christmas time of 2023, we were curious to see what our cats would think about it. We never had this in our house as an enrichment, and our thinking was, that Kai and Pukini love to look out all of our windows in our house. So when we got a chance we put it up with help from Dave of the Zalalova Cat Window Perch, in the family room windows, and our bedroom back screen windows as well. I just wished we would have had this window perch when our cats were younger and smaller, so that maybe they would have adjusted to it earlier in life.

First thing, this Zalalova Cat Window Perch, is better for a very small cat(s), or kitten(s), but we thought let’s give our bigger and older male cats, Kai and Pukini a chance and try to see what happens. With help from Dave, Pukini would get coaxed if there was a treat on the Zalalova Cat Window Perch, and with help from the boxes, ottoman, or Dave’s help he would go up and just stand, but no sitting down on the padding, or blanket. Pukini would look out of the window, but would get down. Kai, on the other hand sat, or stood up briefly and than got down. I don’t even think he looked out of the window, up on the cat perch, and just sniffed and sniffed at the cat perch. Overall, we were disappointed in this product, and to us it was a dud. We were really hoping it would work out, but it didn’t. Maybe in time it will work, but our cats weren’t interested, and were nervous about staying put standing or sitting down. Hopefully with more practice, and with more help from the boxes and ottoman, they will feel more comfortable and confident to jump up on the cat window perch. Now saying that, just because it didn’t work for our cats, doesn’t mean it won’t work for your kitten(s) and or cat(s), and so give it a try. Your cats might like it.

Finally, this Zalalova cat window perch came with everything we needed, a mounted cat bed, a fleece blanket, a manual, and more. Thank goodness the suction cups worked really good to adhere to your window. It did say, online that these 2024 screw on suction cups, can hold up to sixty pounds. Online it says, 20% more space, of lengthening and widening of a design. To be honest I felt like it needed to be wider and longer for our cats and more sturdy for both at one time to go up there, to enjoy a view of the street from outside. This I liked online: MACHINE WASHABLE COVER: Cat window seat mat is breathable and durable, easy to clean, and no chemical smell. Made of food grade mesh cloth, cat's body temperature won't overheat. With underneath its ultra-soft, machine-washable fleece cushion. Finally, online: The suction cup is made of high-quality PVC material and more. We had the white color blanket, but it has a variety of colors to choose from. According to online: Cat perch dimensions: 22" x 12" x 1.5" (L x W x H) and hanging dimensions: 29.5" x 21.5" (H x W) Suction Cup Diameter: 3.3" Cord Length: 23" Weight: 1.3 pounds.

Igloo!!

What an adorable toy for our cats Pukini’s and Kai’s seventh Birthday from PetMaker Pet Tent, and we got a pretty good deal, and for the color gray. We liked the color gray, because it was the color of our Hebley Cat Tree. It arrived at our doorstop and was nice and a collapsible toy. It was so easy to put together, and my husband Dave put our pet tent on our tiled floor right away near the entry room. Pukini went in and out right away, and than basically ignored it. We started wondering, oh no is this going to be a dud. But we moved it to a different room, of our living room/and area rug, and we said, “Let’s see what happens.” For about a week, they basically ignored it. After one week, they sniffed at it, and I tossed their Birthday treats, and Temptations Chicken cat treats to them. They both went into the pet tent to get the treats, but afterwards came out of the pet tent. Kai is a bigger boy, and I think he’s nervous about going all of the way inside, and doesn’t want to get stuck. Pukini would go in at first to put his body inside the pet tent, and get his snacks like Kai, but would come out. He would go in part way, and than come out, with his butt wiggling out of the pet tent.

We bought the PetMaker Pet Tent, on May 25th of this year, and took a lot of photos and videos, and can’t wait to show them on Instagram/Facebok. Dave would coax Pukini, to go inside the pet tent, and than finally on May 31st, I got a video of Pukini playing wildly with a toy or two. It was hilarious watching him playing with it, inside the pet tent. When Dave ordered it, what was nice was, it didn’t have this lingering stinky smell, like a few other toys we have. Pukini could fit right in, and lay down, and the pet tent is really nice and soft, and has a removable foam cushion padding, which is nice to sit on. Plus the pet tent and removable foam cushion padding is washable, which is nice to have. What we really like is, it has this cloth like loop at the top, of the PetMaker Pet Tent so you can easily pick it up and move it from room to room, or take it with you, or collapse it down, to take somewhere, or put it away, when your pet doesn’t use it anymore. The space I liked is it gives your pet a quiet place to sleep, or rest, and have some privacy, and security. According to online, product details are: Materials: Polyester and Polyurethane Foam. Dimensions: (L) 13.5” x (W) 13.5” x (H) 15.75”. The small dog bed can be hand washed in cold water, and used by pets 16lbs or less. Color: Gray. They had a nice variety for colors to choose from by the way.

Im just glad that Pukini has been going in and exploring, and sitting down, and grabbing and playing with their toys in and out of the PetMaker Pet Tent, and Kai just still sniffs for treats. You just never know, Pukini will like a toy/enrichement that say Kai might not like, and vice versa. Thank goodness for the size of the PetMaker Pet Tent, and it’s nice and cozy, and makes your pet feel secure like Pukini did. This also fits small dogs, kittens, and small animals the description said. Pukini when he got more used to it, he would play wildily and playfully roll over and over in the pet tent, trying to grab at a toy, or from the inside or on the outside. The tent would collapse down a bit, from Pukini rolling over and over and it was so funny to watch. By the way, cat tepee can be hand washed in cold water. Give it a try and let your cat have some fun and privacy at the same time.
