Cat vs. Gecko: Who Will Win?

Thanks Paula, a special follower of ours suggested trying this toy called: Hex Bots Wallcrawler Gecko, with Remote Control. So we were curious, and so my husband and I researched it a bit. It’s a pretty good size, or according to online: 11 inches (H) x 12.88 Inches (W) x 2.5 Inches (D), and it was a lime green body of legs and arms, and dark grey body. It came with two AAA batteries, one remote control and came with a short USB cable, and one instruction guide. After we charged it, for about thirty minutes, my husband and I inspected it, it was time for our cats, Kai and Pukini to give this strange looking gecko a sniff to check it out. If they could talk, they would have said, “Whoa, what’s this thing?” It is cool, and neat to see as it moved pretty fast when moving on our tiled floor, and our textured walls, plus the eyes were lit up and were RED color. What we loved was it said it crawls on your floors, but crawls up your walls, this we got to see. Dave had this Hex Bots Wallcrawler Gecko, with Remote Control, crawl on our tiled floor, and when ready, my hubby Dave, turned it over, he turned the gecko off, so both cats sniffed and bit at the legs, to make sure, and knew it was dead.

Next, we wanted to do, what its title of the toy said: Hex Bots Wallcrawler Gecko, with Remote Control, we wanted to see it crawling up our walls. So we had it go, left, right, up, and down, and when it came lower, here was Kai’s chance: Gecko moved, and Kai took his right paw five times, and punched at it in the air, like he was in the boxing ring. Than we had the Gecko move again, and Kai stepped back and took his left paw and punched it in the air, and Kai backed off to say, ok that’s it. He turned away, and gecko turned left and slipped on our tiled floor. We laughed and laughed, when we took the video of this, and can’t wait to show it next week on Facebook/Instagram. We took some photos as well, and I liked the photos. We loved it, of how Kai reacted, but gave it a mixed reaction, because when the gecko tried to climb the walls, it was hard to have it grip onto our textured walls. It would go up, midway of our wall, but than would fall down. Dave played with the gecko, and used the remote, while I busily took photos and videos. Just a warning the FAN inside the gecko is very LOUD, and it freaked out our cats. We also didn’t want it to go up to high, or fall down, and break in pieces, even if it’s made out of silicone. It had a slider switch on the gecko with 3 positions on it: Off, floor, and wall-ceiling. I didn’t notice what or what was on the remote, because I was taking the photos and video’s of the toy. As for size, It was sooo coool and our biggest toy that has been crawling on our walls that’s for sure, and it freaked our cats out because of the size, and It’s our biggest toy we’ve have ever had.

Overall, it was twenty-five dollars, and we feel like our cats, or Kai was interested, but it did freak them out, and so it was pricey. We just bought it this toy for our cats, but and we don’t have kids. If you have kids, and have cat(s) than give it a try. Just know, this toy is recommended for kids four years and up.

Gone Fishin’

Does your cat(s) like to play with water? Kai does but not Pukini so much. Kai sometimes likes to play with water in his water bowl. So we thought let’s get a pool toy with playing fish, so that Kai and Pukini can splash with their paws to check it out. This toy is called: Aiersa cat pool with swimming robotic fish toys, and I unfolded the pool, and it had two colored fish it came with. The both of them just stepped inside the pool, and than proceeded to sit down in the pool, without the water in the pool. It’s like this if I fits, I sits as both cats said to me, ha ha. We even have photos of it.

First thing we did, was get a bowl from our kitchen and fill with lukewarm, or cool water and poured, four to six cups of water in the pool approximately. Once the pool had enough water, it was time to put both fish in the water. As soon as they touch the water, both pink and blue fish starting swimming, and were lit up moving their tails back and forth as they were moving. Mostly Pukini took his paw and pawed at the pink fish and watched it move all over the pool. The pink fish was my fave, and swam good, but sadly the blue fish sank to the bottom. On the other hand, the blue fish, swam around, is lit up and moved until it filled up with water, and than sunk to the bottom of the pool. Dave said the fish didn’t or wasn’t sealed properly, and said the batteries were wet. So he took a screw driver and took the batteries out. So each time, we just put the pink fish in, not the blue one, and the first time they were interested, and started pawing at both the pink and blue fish, and than we took the blue fish out. The second time, they barely played, but wanted to watch and just drink the water, and how funny. It was like their big water bowl with fish in the pool. They are in stock at this link, and give them a try, the Aiersa brand.

So after Dave and I took the blue fish out of the pool from sinking, I started looking for bright fish, for cat(s)with LED lights, and I found them, they are a brand name of Lavizo. They were nice and colorful, and there are six fishes, and so I recently checked the link, and this was the message, they are currently unavailable, and don’t know if or when they will be in stock. I’ll keep checking on the link, to see what happens. Oh no, I thought, I will just have people who are interested, just look up bright lit up fish, that move when they are submerged in water. One thing I didn’t read was, place two fish at a time, three-five minutes at a time, and recommended a ten minute playing time. I will have to try that, because I didn’t do what they suggested. Also, take out the batteries and dry the fish after your done. What was nice, they had some extra 12 LR44 batteries to put into the fish, and there were already batteries in the ones I ordered. A battery installation tool is also included. They moved ok, but the cats were not interested, and again, the second and third time, wanted to drink the water out of the pool. Even if our cat(s), weren’t that interested, except the first time, than google and see what bright fish with LED lights work for you. Keep fishin'.
