You have heard Mom and I say many times that I am a mancat who LOVES nothing more than hunting his prey. I am not always a fan of boxes or things that are confining for me, but give me a good darting mouse, or a feathery darting toy and I am one happy kitty!
The OurPets® Catty Whack is an unpredictable game of hide &
seek which piques my interest and is certain to pique the interest of your kitty!! While it is specifically designed to encourage independent play for cats of all ages, I am going to say again what I have said MANY, MANY times, that I think multi-kitty households will love this as well! That being said, I AM an "only" kitty and while I prefer to play with my Mom or my Sheltie brother, there ARE times that I enjoy playing by myself. Yesterday was one of those times! Mom gave me my lunch and told me she had a surprise for me and I marched right in! When Mom turned the button on (after putting in the 4 C batteries that are not included), I got ready to pounce!!
Mom found the original electronic RealMouse sound to be a teeny tiny bit annoying on this toy, but not me!! The RealMouse sound and the erratic movement of
the feather is what lured me in! I do have a question though, the little feathery wand thingy that randomly dashes and darts in and out of the six mouse holes is NOT a mouse....so, why does it have a RealMouse sound? (discuss amongst yourselves, that is pretty much a rhetorical question that doesn't require an answer. As they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and as you can see in the video below I LOVE THIS TOY!! )
I might be 11 years old and I often have a rather "lazy" style of play, but you can't beat my paw dexterity!!!
On the top of the Catty Whack,
there is a carpeted scratching area, which many cats find to be enticing!!! So far, I haven't used it to scratch, but I just might!
I used this toy in Mom's "office" on the floor and these photos were taken when Mom put the Catty Whack on her bed. You can't see in these photos, but the bottom of the toy has non-skid rubber feet, which will keep the toy from sliding while kitties play!!!
There is also an auto-shut off feature on the button you see above on the left side of the Catty Whack. There is a replacement feather prey wand included. I think that providing a replacement wand is a great idea because Mom noticed when I played with mine (and we noticed the same thing on some videos we were watching), that kitties try to immediately chew the wand which is normal because kitties are trying to catch their prey, but, the feathery wand is rather small, and if it breaks off it is concerning to Mom. The replacement in our box was actually the TIP of the wand with the feather, which is quite small. A suggestion would be to provide a long wand with the tip already attached as an extra, not just the small feathery part, because it makes someone nervous that the tiny feathery part could come off. Because of that, Mom won't let me play with this toy unsupervised, and because of that Mom is giving this a 3 out of 4 paws rating, while I rate it 4 PAWS UP.

ReplyDeleteCody, I think it's funny that you wait for the toy to come to you. I think your brain is getting more of a workout than your body. You look like you're having a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteGreat review, Cody! That toy looks like a lot of fun. I think Olive and Sophie would love it!
ReplyDeleteCody, that looks like so much fun! We loved when you grabbed that mousie with your mouth. :)

Oh my god, I need this cat toy in my life. I have been thinking how amazing it would be to have a cat toy like this on the market for YEARS as pen-poked-under-rug has been one of the only games I can consistently interest Avery in playing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for directing me to this. I'll look out for it on the EU market because honestly as soon as it comes out here, I think I will be doing myself the favour of grabbing one. Can't see how Avery would reject this toy - and he's picky (& lazy!).
