Spring Swatter!!

Do our cats, Kai and Pukini love new toys, and so I got one toy out recently. This toy is called, Whisker City Spring Swatter Chirping Cat Toy with Catnip. As soon as I got this toy out of the paper bag, I needed help to have my husband, cut the plastic part off of the toy. As soon as Dave cut the plastic part off, our cats, Kai and Pukini were so excited with big eyes looking at it, and even Pukini got up in the reclining chair to take a look, and Kai was over near Dave on the floor, looking at the toy. As soon as he cut the plastic zip ties, it had this red like spiral toy, and a weighted circular base, with a ball and a feather on top of the bird toy for batting at. So the toy, than went BOING, and popped up, and I puled the tab on the side of the ball, to have the bird make these loud bird chirp sounds.

Unfortunately, Kai and Pukini didn’t bat the ball, or the feathers. I accidentally, picked up the base of it, and it freaked out Kai, and he hid under our table in the living room. So it was basically a dud of a toy for our boys, and like I always say, just because it didn’t work out for our cats, doesn’t mean your cat(s) won’t like it. I liked the spring action, but to get them interested, I had put catnip on the base and they sniffed at that, and than I put some cat treats in the middle of it. I would have the spring coiled part of the toy sway, or spring back and forth, and than their heads, or neck almost got stuck, after getting the catnip and treats. That concerned me a lot, because I didn’t want them to freak out, get hurt and run away. Thankfully that didn’t happen. I thought with the feathers, and ball like toy, they would be interested, but no they weren’t.

I am not sure what the spiral part is made out of, but I wished it would have been a toy, that didn’t get their head or neck almost stuck in the coiled spiral part. We think it’s made out of a steel like spiral part of the toy, and just needed something more stiff, but as a safer product. I liked the ball, and the colorful feathers, but that was it.
