My cat, Mac, whom I like to refer to as the mascot of my blog, is a very big boy. He weighs almost 20 lbs and he is not fat. (Don’t let the picture fool you-he likes to sit in his “fat sit” and make himself look huge!) He is a Maine Coon cross and Maine coon males often get to this size. I tell you about his size because most people would probably think he is lazy and somewhat boring. He is actually pretty darn playful for a cat his size. I love that he kept alive the little kitten in him, even as he got older. He is estimated to be around 7 years old now, and in his prime.
“I keeeel you”
I am always on the look out for new and interesting cat toys to keep his playfulness alive. (Although, he is pretty playful on his own as he will chase imaginary things all over the house).
He is an excellent mouser, as he has left me and my husband several “gifts” over the years to prove his prowess. I checked out the Mouse Tales cat toy from StoryTime Toys and it quickly got his attention.
The Mouse Tales cat Toy is a foam toy that snaps together and the idea is that you pop the “mice” out of the door of the house and the cat will delightfully play with them.
Here is a video demonstrating the toy with Mac. This is not his first time playing with the toy and he still delights in it.
Pros:
The toy is engaging. It allows both pet owner and pet to have fun with each other in a unique way. It is made of foam and easy to assemble. Cats can play for a long period of time and not get bored. I think the Mouse Tales cat toy is good for cats of all ages. It is great especially for indoor cats like Mac, because it allows him to hunt and pounce.
Cons:
I wish it was a bit sturdier as it can tend to fall apart, although it is easy to put back together. Mac gets a little rough when he plays, however. By the way, the foam is environmentally friendly EVA foam.
Verdict:
Get this toy! I love that it is fresh and unique as I have never seen anything on the market like this. This toy is worth every penny.
To Purchase:
Head on over to Amazon and purchase the Mouse Tales cat toy at $19.99 or it is on sale currently (as of 01/20/2013) at $14.99
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Mac looks so happy, well happy for him, That looks like a great way to save your hands as well. I know that I would get all scratched. I miss the Mackers.
