Adorable (and FUN!) Flapping and Chirping Duck Catnip Toy for Cats.

November 16, 2022 By Joi

Here’s a fun cat toy your cat(s) are SURE to love,  the Flapping Duck Catnip Toy (Amazon link). Cats love toys that move, love cats that smell like catnip, and love toys that make noise.

This one does all three!

FEATURES:

  • Every time your cat touches this toy, the automatic built-in motion sensor kicks into action, making the adorable duck toy flap, flutters like a real duck. I love that it comes to life when the cat touches it, making the cat think he/she is completely in charge!
  • Not only does the toy flap and flutter around, it also makes noise –  lifelike quack sounds come out as soon as the cat’s playtime begins.. which, of course, will make the cat want to stalk, pounce, and chase even more.
  • Catnip is involved, which will delight any cat within reach of this adorable toy! It comes ..”with an extra of silvervine and catnip blend is included in the package, most cats can get excited and happy at the smell of silvervine and catnip.”
  • “USB Chargeable: this toy is USB chargeable which saves you from the hassle and costs to replace batteries. USB cable is included in the package. The included chargeable mechanism is detachable for convenient cleaning of the plush pet toy. The duck will stay dormant and quiet to save battery power when left alone.”

Please see Flapping Duck Catnip Toy (Amazon link) for a closer look and more information.

Automatic Cat Toy: Cats Lose Their Minds for These!

October 31, 2022 By Joi

A cat’s LOVE for chasing and “play hunting” is legendary. The look of concentration they get in their eyes, their “don’t pet me now, I’m busy” vibe, and their single-minded pursuit of what they’re after all amuse and astound me.

Such predators!

Interactive toys like this one prove especially interesting and challenging to them – emotions that are especially beneficial to indoor cats who, usually, don’t have a great deal of opportunities to exercise their hunting skills.

This wonderfully colorful (and very affordable) automatic cat toy (Amazon link) would make a perfect gift idea for any cat in your life – whether the gift is for Christmas, a birthday, or simply a “thank you for being mine” gift.

My favorite kind to give!

Automated Cat Toy: Endless Fun and Entertainment for Your Cat(s)!

October 21, 2021 By Joi

Okay, this is ingenious! The BurgeonNest Automated Cat Toy (Amazon link) is perfect for cats who love to play and be entertained (almost all of them, in other words). I can see all of my own cats loving this toy!

Like many cat families, we have inside cats as well as outside cats. The prime “indoor” living arrangement is a “first come, first inside” thing in our family. The ones who live inside with the family have been around longer and, frankly, have said “NO MORE ROOMS AVAILABLE,” so the rest of the family live just on the other side of the door in wonderfully constructed cat houses, a patio, and a carport all their own.

The indoor cats have some advantages and the outdoor cats have some advantages. One of the biggest advantages the outdoor family members have is endless entertainment, mental stimulation, physical activity, and an ever-changing environment to keep them sharp, engaged, and interested.

When it comes to indoor cats, we have to stay on our toes by providing similar advantages for them. Frequently adding new toys (and taking old ones in and out of the rotation), moving toys, new games, etc. help immensely. Busy, entertained, and mentally stimulated cats are healthier AND happier.

Click through to take a closer look at the adorable BurgeonNest Automated Cat Toy (Amazon link). Countless hours of fun and excitement for your cat await you!

Interactive Catnip Rug: Colorful, Fun, and Downright Ingenious

September 21, 2021 By Joi

My grandbabies have a few interactive toy rugs they LOVE…. and the adorable thing is, so do our cats! When the babies leave their rugs spread out on the floor and wander to another room, inevitably a few cats come to check it out and stay a while.

That’s why I searched out play rugs just for cats a few days ago on Amazon. I was THRILLED to find this Interactive Catnip Rug (Amazon link) and knew I had to add it to the 2021 Christmas Gift Ideas for Cats lineup!

This colorful beauty is just perfect in every way. The interactive play mat is “inspired by the magic of a nighttime garden” and it’s simply beautiful.

The soft and cushy catnip playmat is actually a stroke of genius and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more like this before. When we buy catnip, we always sprinkle a little bit under the blankets on our cats’ favorite beds and resting spots. They love it and it’s great fun to watch them enjoying it BUT it’s unbelievably messy! Having a ready-made, neat and tidy catnip rug is ideal and I can’t wait to see our cats enjoying it!

Take a closer look at this beautiful Interactive Catnip Rug (Amazon link)!

Paw-some Set of Cat Toys… Ideal Christmas Gift for Any Cat!

September 13, 2021 By Joi

This Youngever Set of Cat Toys (Amazon link) is exactly what our cats would ask Santa for. So much colorful fun just waiting to be had! Two way tunnel (love the bright, fun color), feather teaser, fluffy mice, cat string, fun balls to chase after…

What’s not to love?!

This set of cat toys is 24 pieces in all. Our cats love sets like this. When they come in the Amazon box, I call them into the room and we open it up together. Then they act like human kids on Christmas morning! Speaking of which, this set would be purrfect for any cats on your list as well as any cat lovers.

After all, we cat lovers are never happier than when our babies are happy and playing.

Take a closer look at the Youngever Set of Cat Toys (Amazon link) by clicking the link.

The picture below is a couple of our girls (Dokkie and Delilah) playing with a very similar set I bought them a few months ago!

Adorable Cat Furniture: Perch, Ball Toy, and Scratching Post in One

July 23, 2021 By Joi

Too cute! This adorable cat perch and scratching post (Amazon link) is a real eye-catcher, isn’t it? I love the colors more than I can even tell you. Maybe it’s the westerns fanatic in me, but this is one of the cutest cat toys or pieces of cat furniture I’ve seen in a while.

  • The main stem of the cactus is made of green natural sisal rope with a cat-like hemp ball, which can attract cats’ attention, is resistant to scratching, and can withstand cat games. Prevent cat scratching and irreversible damage to furniture.
  • The composite cashmere platform combination of different heights and sizes is a place for cats to jump and play and stretch their bodies, and it is also a warm cat litter.
  • The scratching post is well integrated into the cactus and is ornamental. It adds a touch of green to your corners and also adds a fun place to your cat.
  • This product has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. Raise a cactus for your favorite cat! ps: Please keep the cat tree dry and pay attention to the fire source. The color in the photo may be slightly different from the actual product, please refer to the actual product. Before buying, please make sure that the product size is suitable for your pet. 
  • Product size: (20.5 x 17.3 x 17.1) / (52 x 44 x 43.5) cm (LxWxH) Packing size: (16.5 x 4.8 x 15.4)/(42x 12 x 39) cm (LxWxH) Weight: 7.1lb/3.2kg.

I Threw These Catnip Toys RIGHT Into My Amazon Cart…

May 20, 2021 By Joi

Like most cats, our perpetual toddlers are obsessed with catnip toys. We buy them frequently for them because they get almost as big a kick out of playing them as we do watching them play.

I was on Amazon, earlier, looking at French Butter Crocks of all things when the “inspired by your buying history” got me sidetracked with (shocking!) cat toys. As soon as I saw this set of 5 Catnip Toys (Amazon link), I just threw it right into the cart… it landed right on top of the French Butter Crock.

They’re available in three different multi-color combinations and each is great-looking.

I love the size of these catnip toys – they’re bigger than a lot of toys and I know our cats will get a huge kick out of them. I also love that they come in a pack of five – if your house is a multi-cat house, like our house, you’ll love having plenty to go around. If you have one spoiled rotten baby, you’ll have a nice rotation of catnip toys for him/her to enjoy that’ll last for months.

Features:

  • Perfect Gift: The cat chew toy has catnip inside a breathable fabric, allowing cats smell the catnip easily.
  • Bite resistant: Fine suture of this cat toy makes it durable for biting.
  • Safe and High Quality Material: More Durable Cotton Linen
  • Stuffed with Soft PP Cotton and Natural Catnip
  • Helping reduce your pets’ boredom and separation anxiety by killing time with the chew toy and the catnip toys for cats are ideal for cats to play indoor or outdoor.

There is something extra fun about buying toys for furry kids at Christmas time, though.

I absolutely love the Christmas Stocking with Cat Toys (and bandana!) (Amazon link) pictured here. You’ll want to click through to see, not only this adorable cat and toys bigger but other precious cats wearing the bandana as well. Trust me, the cuteness is NEXT LEVEL!

We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
