So Savas has finally loosened the cords on his tightly clsoed wallet, cleared the dust out, and agreed to replace some of the old, missing cat toys that have long since disappeared around here (It does help that Savas has a 50% employee discount. ;->)
His first experiments are with the foam balls and the "real fur mice".
The real fur mouse was a HUGE success. It's disturbingly realistic, which might put an ownder off. But when tossed out, Five cats moved in for the kill and then had a huge squabble-fest amongst each other over who would get dibs. It was batted, chewed, and tossed about the room with utter glee!!!
This morning, of course, the toy mouse is now missing.True to the nature of most small cat toys, it has been "disappeared" under a piece of furniture, likely never to be seen again. Perhaps I can get a bulk discount, as .99 Cents strikes me as a bit much for one day's play.
But on a scale of 1-5, I'm giving it a tenative "4"... until I can find proof it still exists.
The second toy is the foam balls. These were also a big hit.
HOWEVER.. they tore them into tiny little chunks in a matter of hours. Savas has some concerns as to the impact tiny pieces of liquid-absorbing foam may have on a cat's digestion...so I'm giving this toy a rating of;
"2" with a warning that it could be a potential health hazard.
