Has anyone bought one of these for their furbabies? John thought
Silver and Scout would love it because they could chase it... so we got one. Only when we took it out of the box and turned it on, they were at first alarmed by the loud noise and the blinky eyes - and then they ignored it totally! I've given it to them a few times with diminishing results. Silver sits there and looks alarmed when it rolls in a circle and runs into her tummy or paw, and Scout likes to chew on the tail - but she prefers it to be turned off at the time! I got it out this afternoon and they just looked at it and blinked then walked away... It's sound and motion activated so it goes off when they bat at it, or if they meow loudly. Scout and Silver hardly make any noise at all, which is probably why they don't like it. But other cats must enjoy it or they wouldn't sell it... is anyone interested in taking it off our hands? ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply |

Has anyone bought one of these for their furbabies? My friend Cyrway has one for her cat Caligo. Cal doesn't do much with it, but then again, Cal doesn't do much of anything. Frankly, I think the Cy-Purr amuses Cyrway more than it does her cat. Nox and Smokey aren't into those sorts of things. Nox only plays if she thinks you're not watching and Smokey isn't fooled by anything not made of real dead animal (he luvs those fur mousies, and a moving ball can sometimes psych him into hunting behaviour). The bitties, however, may be attracted...they'll chase reflections on the wall all day. --Fil |

Yep... it's one of them! I find the sound effects rather unnerving... ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply |

That's the only was to ensure that the cats will be entertained by the purchase. Regards and Purrs, O J |
