Do cats really care? I'll tell you what I do: I buy a package of loose catnip, toss some in an old sock, tie a string or ribbon tightly around the opening, and present it to my cat. She'll play with it for weeks.
At first, I thought: Oh yeah, buy this toy and watch your cat's eyes go up in flames when she looks into the light, but apparently it's the green pocket laser lights that can damage one's eyes.
I'm thinking photoshopped because there is no way they got a cat to sit inside this cardboard "Cat Play House". Yet it looks so realistic.
In this particular case, they really should have photoshopped a cat who didn't look quite so terrified:
And finally, for the cat who always seems to be getting underfoot:
Next up, gift ideas for dogs.
How come animals get all the fun toys? Where's the carpeted cardboard maze for us human-types?
ReplyDeleteI'd seen the cardboard cat vehicles and thought they were awesome, although somewhat pricey, considering a cat will climb in a regular cardboard box.
ReplyDeleteAnd Raggs, I think "the carpeted cardboard maze" is called "the office". Cubicles anyone?
Love the catnip-laced sushi.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, if my cat can't lie on his back and pull at a hanging toy until he completely demolishes it -- he's not really interested.
Totally "gangsta," that little boy of mine.
How about a hedge maze, Raggs? If you're traveling to the U.K., you might want to check out the Longleat Hedge Maze. Not carpeted but it looks like a good place to play:

Well, NT, if I ever spent money on the cardboard vehicle, you can be sure my cat would never climb inside.
ReplyDeleteAnything to keep 'em occupied, Georgie. My cat loves to play with the plastic coated twist ties (you know, the ones that are used in packaging). I find them everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!! Thanks for the photo laughs!!
ReplyDeleteThings are settling at the store more.... will be renoing in January, & will be smoother after the reno is all done with & the other senior staff are all finished their training....
see you during the parade, or else Monday morning...I'm heading back into more mornings for the next two weeks...
Hey, K, thanks for dropping by. They're renovating Starbucks? Does that mean it'll be closed in January? But, but, but ... what about my morning coffee?
ReplyDeleteGift ideas for my cat....
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for them to give me their "Christmas wish list".
Times are tough and i don't want to waste money on something they don't really want. ;-)

Charmainne, we know that all a cat really wants is a warm home and a kind heart. You've got that covered.
ReplyDeleteI planted some catnip in my garden this summer. Got tons from just one plant. Finn played in it all summer and now he'll get a sock-full for Christmas. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, I agree. Those cats in those boxes had to be photoshopped. Neither cat looks like it's having a very good time.
Karen, looks like Finn is going to have a very merry Christmas indeed!
