Kitty Paradise in Toy Form!

Recently, I was selected to review a cat toy from the company Petoyo. I was EXTREMELY excited to try it out because we rescue, foster, and adopt out cats. We are always looking for suggestions to make to our new cat parents or "gifts" that we can include to see our babies on their way to their new home.

Now...keep in mind. I AM a crazy cat lady. When you read what unfolds in the following review, you may think that my cats never get toys. That is NOT the case! :) Every time I buy food, I pick up a few toys here and there. They typically range from little plastic bell-balls to crinkle toys to small teddy bears. Occasionally, I will pick up a larger, more interactive toy like the Petoyo Birds Flying Feather Cat Teaser. Well...needless to say, they typically prefer the small toys that they can carry around in their mouths over the "fishing" style toys.

From the minute the toy came out of the box, the cats were ALL over it. I'm not exaggerating. They played HARD! I figured that I could have a day or so to test it before I took my videos/pictures, but I was wrong. For 24 hours all 12 of them took their turns. Honestly, I'm amazed at the durability of the toy! They jumped, hunted, chased, and chewed on the feathers. Not ONE feather fell out, despite the toy being pulled in all directions and chewed on. I'm in total disbelief!

MOO, our Black and White Piebald, was the one who ended the joy (or began it in another way?) by chewing the string. Now, there's a clump of feathers with a small string attached that the cats STILL play with. Seriously?! Fun from the afterlife?? What an amazing value as far as cat toys go! All 14 of us have to say...this toy deserves a 5/5 paw prints! The quality is amazing, the feathers are durable, and they had SO MUCH FUN!

Definitely a MUST purchase for any cat lover or feline friend in your life! I would highly suggest this for cats who haven't gotten up and EXERCISED in some time! I guarantee that this toy will appeal to young and old and all personality types alike! Not only that, but it's a neat way to bond with your kitties! Be careful, though! Watch your hands! They will love it so much that they lose their little minds! 

Until next time, guys!

One for the Kitt-ays!

If you're familiar with Mc Chris or Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you'll know EXACTLY how to say the title of my blog post!

Skottie loves her new Kitty Cat Arch!

Typically, I'm reaching for beauty products to review because my skin is HORRIBLE on more days than not. However, because of mine and my husband's rescue efforts, I've decided that another section of my blog will be pets! Yes..pets. Although it's not necessarily up the same alley as health and beauty, I decided to go for these kinds of reviews because of the work that my husband and I put in to rescuing, adopting, and rehabbing animals. Our current brood includes: 12 cats (I believe we only took three or four of these in of our own initiative...the rest were rescues), four dogs (taken by our initiative from some TERRIBLE conditions), a bearded dragon, a chameleon, a Russian tortoise, two hedgehogs, four pythons, a rat snake, and a sand boa. Whew!

Anyway...I really wanted to try a product that I could recommend to those who visit our kitty clan or even those who adopt from our selection of rescues in the future. So in return for being able to test this scratch post, I've promised to provide the link and my recommendation to new cat-parents! It's easy to do with such an awesome product, honestly!

I didn't know what to expect, but I knew that I had high hopes that I would FINALLY get a quality scratcher for the cats. I've bought a few over the years from Wal-Mart and PetSmart and they ALWAYS fall apart after a while. If not that, they don't go together well in the first place!

The Davidson cats approve!

When the Kitty Cat Arch Self Groomer arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the box looked professional and was bright and eye-catching. Sometimes, with product reviews, the packaging isn't the best. Already, I liked it based on first appearance! When we opened the box, the pieces were easy to slide out and the scratcher was VERY easy to assemble. So far so good! BUT the real test came with one cat hesitantly approached the scratcher. Then another...then another. Soon, there were five cats clawing, scratching, rolling on, and trying to pull over the toy. And guess what? It survived! It didn't come undone and it didn't break! In fact, it has held up through daily use by all 12 of our cats! Another added bonus (besides the catnip you get with it!) is that the base of the toy is carpeted! My Sunshine LOVES sharpening her claws and NOW she has a place to do it BESIDES my couch!

Overall, I rate this toy at 5/5 for quality, affordability, and attractiveness to cats! It's very sturdy and much better than those other brands you find online and in stores!
