Cat Toys

Call the drug squad - Mew's high!

Advantages: Great fun and Mew was hysterical to watch
Disadvantages: Not very robust

Last week I read a review about Kwayze Katz Valerian Body Pillows and I thought they sounded like something that Mew would love. Catnip, which as we all know, drives cats wild has absolutely no effect on Mew so I thought Valerian might succeed where catnip had failed. I hotfooted – or should that be hotfingered – over to EBay to check these out. I found them for sale at a cost of £2.99 for two plus 65p for postage within the UK. I figured that ...
...ordered two toy pillows. The description of the toy pillows on the EBay auction is as follows: ‘Valerian Korners Kwayze odd shaped Pillow Toy supplied by Kwayze Katz. Unique high quality Valerian toys filled with the most potent Kwayze Katz secret herbal VALERIAN mix and bouncy bouncy toy filler which makes this toy easier to be flipped and tossed around’. The pillows are made from 100% cotton material which is covered with various cat designs. ...

Review of KwayzeKatz Valerian Body Pillows

Fun with feathers!

Advantages: Great fun, good exercise, cheap to buy
Disadvantages: None for us!

...full name of it is Willow's Feather Chaser Wand Catnip Toy for Cats and it cost just £2.99. It is supposedly infused with cat nip but as I said earlier this wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference to Mew as he doesn’t react to cat nip at all! Now I will have a go at describing the toy – this will be fun. When I get to this part of a review where I have to describe something that you wouldn’t already know about I always feel as though I am on one ...
...an item and describing it to someone else who has to draw it unsighted! Mind you there is a picture at the top of this review which will give you an idea of what I am trying to describe. Anyway the wand itself is made of light wood and is about seventeen inches long and about a quarter of an inch in diameter. One end has a black rubber stopper on it (this will be relevant later). The other end of the wand is attached to a long narrow piece of soft, ...

Review of Willow's Feather Chaser Wand Catnip Toy

Cat fun and games

Advantages: A fun interactive toy for young cats
Disadvantages: Older cats may get bored with it

...moving! Basically all that Undercover Mouse is is a small motor with an arm on it to which you attach a wand and the wand rotates erratically. The motor is covered by a yellow cloth so what is visible at first glance is just the tip of the wand under the edge of the cloth. There are two wands supplied, one with feathers attached and the other has just a short black 'tail'. The 'Test' On Christmas morning I unwrapped the box (well it is nice ...
...out the toy. Three eager faces were keen to investigate the contents as I put it all together and switched it on. The motor made a gentle whirring sound and the wand rotated. It wasn't long before the cats went to investigate. Oscar was first and he very quickly learned that the trick was to sit down, lift up the cloth and grab the wand and hang on to it. He let it go for a moment and it moved off at speed and tickled Lara's feet as it reached her ...

Review of Undercover Mouse

Puss will thank you for it

Advantages: bright, cats will love the mouse, cheap
Disadvantages: was destroyed within a few weeks and needed replacing

...from the owner was the Caldex Rod N Reel Fur Mouse, purchased from our local pet store for £3.50. As the name of the product suggests, the toy comprises of a small plastic fishing rod (approximately 25cm in length and weighing no more than 50 grams) available in a wide range of luminous colours, a reel that actually works. The fishing line on the reel is actually an elasticated fibre of some sort and attached to the end of the line is a furry black ...
...was really pleased with the Caldex Rod N Reel Fur Mouse as I had to do very little to keep my little bundles of fur happy for hours on end, and in fact by the time they had finished playing all they wanted to do was sleep, giving me some time to relax and recover. Well worth the price and widely available from pet stores and online places like www.pet-supermarket.co.uk or www.zooplus.com. Puss will thank you for buying the Rod N Reel Fur Mouse. ...

Review of Caldex Rod N Reel Fur Mouse

Instils fear and terror

Advantages: hard wearing, cheap, batteries last for ages, keeps cats amused
Disadvantages: may psychologically damage young cats

We bought the Wild Tail while away on holiday in Spain for only 5 Euros but have since seen them available at places like Amazon and Ebay for prices ranging from £5-£10. It instantly drew my attention as it whizzed around a tiny cage and immediately I thought of our two kittens and believed they would find it highly amusing even though the ball was roughly twice the size of their heads! The toy comprises a large ball and a furry animal attached ...
...spin around making it look like the furry animal is pushing it. Quite a plain concept to us humans but it has the ability to strike fear and terror into a cat under the age of 1 as they start to get used to it flying around the room. Powered by 2 AA batteries, as it is switched on it makes a low humming sound and moves around fairly quickly. When we first took it out of the wrapping and let it loose on our kittens they cowered and looked on nervously ...
