Da Bird: Quick Review.

22 June 2010

After reading a review of Pampered Pets Playground on That’s Noice and realising we could actually get Da Bird in Australia, I had to order one. Da Bird works so well because the toy is attached on it’s own hook, meaning it can twirl around and move like a real bird (or moth, or other [...]

Review: Spotnips Springs.

27 August 2009

When walking through a pet store recently I spotted a packet of Spotnips springs. They looked interesting and on close inspection didn’t seem to be a hazard, so I got a pack for Train. I wasn’t sure what she’d think of them, so I put one on the floor to begin with and pushed it [...]

As far as making cat toys go, I can’t think of a way that this cat toy could be more simple. Surprisingly it’s one of the most effective toys I’ve ever given Train. It’s a ping pong ball that’s stuffed with catnip. Best of all, it doesn’t cost much and can be easily made at [...]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but Train loves all things feathery. Of course, I couldn’t resist when I found this Kong… carrot-y thing. I understand the reasoning behind mice toys… but a carrot? Perhaps the Kong product development team got confused between cats and rabbits. Nevermind, Train still loved it in all [...]

No matter what we buy Train, her favourite toy is always the old favourite: hair ties. Her obsession with hair ties started when she was a little kitten. Mr. J noticed she kept stealing mine, so bought her a pack of her own. We’ll flick them for her around the house and she catches them [...]

While I was at the Cat Protection Society last weekend I picked up a packet of ten mice for Train. She’s not getting them all at once, but Train is an absolute MASTER at losing small toys, so I’m keeping some as backups. I’m certain when we move out from this place we’re going to [...]

Usually I’m the one in this house that spoils Train, but when Mr. J read my post about The Pawbreaker he purchased one for her the same day. Yes, she is a very lucky kitty. The service from Pookinuk was okay. An order confirmation was sent, but no shipping confirmation. We did, however, receive the [...]

What could be better than some fresh catnip poured on the floor? Perhaps a giant ball of catnip that you can bat around and eat? Well, someone has already thought of that. Like most cat lovers, Brett Buchanan provided his three cats with plenty of catnip toys, but noticed that as his kitties aged, their [...]
