Since discovering that Samson is such an inquisitive soul and prefers chasing strings/things attached to strings rather than playing with noisy balls and mice type toys (even if they are cat-nipped), we've gone a little :Crazy: on the toy front.
My first purrs toy delivery has just arrived. In it we have 2 play cubes which have holes for him to climb inside and dangly toys in the entrances, a da bird (of course), a kitty kopter (so he thinks he's caught da bird), a laser pen (OH will love this too!) and an aromatherapy shaggy catnip ball (it's not noisy so he may like it).
It all looks so fab, I can't wait to play with them later. Oh and I'm sure Samson will love them too :evillaugh:
I'll add some pics this evening!
-
Yes piccies are most appreciated! ;) ;D
-
Aw bless them. No other toy I've bought goes down as well as the laser in this house. Also Daisy adores the little spring butterfly but the boys don't look at it, you'd think they knew it was pink and aimed at girls.
Look forward to pics
-
He's gonna be in a frenzy tonight with all those exciting toys :wow: I'm going to make a prediction and say he will LOVE DaBird :wow:
-
;D ooo yes def would love to see pics LJ ;D
Let us know how they get on with the toys :)
-
Well I nipped home at lunchtime and introduced him to the cubes and the aromatherapy ball. Thought I'd let Daddy play with the laser and the da bird tonight so I can be ready with the camera.
To my surprise he really REALLY loved the ball. It's like a pom pom with catnip and he was going crazy for it. It surprises me as he's not fussed about the catnip mice he already has. He was playing with it infront of a mirrored wardrobe and got a bit freaked out by his reflection at one point which was hilarious but unfortunately not caught so well on camera (even on the sport setting). I think he thought the odd new cat was after his ball!!
He likes the cubes too and I've managed to get some pics of those. He pulled one of the dangly toys straight off though so am going to have to sew that back on for him but as I left he was curled up in the bottom of the red one and wasn't the least bit bothered about me leaving him (he usually tries to come out of the room with me).
I'll add the pics later when I get home from work and some more tonight when Daddy cracks open the da bird and laser!
I'm so glad he loves them. Money well spent so far!

So far so good :wow: Be sure to move any valuables/breakables before you crack open Da Bird :naughty:
-
;D great all good so far then lol wait for the Da bird craze to hit him :evillaugh:
I had my cubes since oct now and i am still on the 1st lot (somew do have rips in them but mind you they do have 6 cubes :Crazy: ) and they play with them every day. They are brill for the garden where i can leave them out and not ruin the grass as they flop about in the wind which makes it even more excioting for the lads to run and jump into . :evillaugh:
It's so great to know Purrs cats are enjoying the toys from our shop. ;D
-
Good thinking Helen. We have quite a large clear space in the middle of the living room so think we might be safest to play with that there. This is what I think he'll love the most from the whole order although I am utterly amazed and really pleased with how much he likes the woolly ball.
He's definately enjoying everything so far Tan. Not sure what he thought he could see but he was gazing intently at one of the cubes and then clawing at it as if something was there but if there was then I couldn't see it. He was batting at the dangling toys too which I got some good piccies of.
-
;D ooo good more pics for the shop. Look forward to seein them ;D I collect em ya know :evillaugh: one of me wierd habbits! :birth 2:

-
Go for it Tan.
Yeah I love that one too. looks like he's praying it will come a little closer.... or begging it to!
-
Aww samson looks like he is having so much fun.
Purrs toys are always a hit here, even my very old cat would play with Da Bird. They are a godsend with Basil who just has too much energy and naughtiness in him, we probaly need cubes as Basil is far too rough with them, if he finds another cat in one of "his" cubes he takes flying leaps at them, usually from as high up as he can get. The bananas are really popular, I made the mistake of only getting 1 for 4 cats and was back at the shop buying more within seconds.
