Play and Pull A New Cat Toy - For Weekend Fun!

Last weekend was Memorial Day, it is often considered to be the unofficial start of summer.  It is also a day to remember our armed services and all those that have served and sacrificed for our country.  Many people celebrate the day at a festive parade followed by a family picnic or barbeque remembering days gone by and looking forward to summer vacations. Since my cats are indoor cats for the most part, I decided to try a new toy by Friskies called Pull and Play Cat Treats Pack that was on sale at chewy.com; at $4.00, I decided to give it a whirl, and I literally did just that! It  was our way to kick off the summer and celebrate Memorial Day!

The Pull and Play Friskies Play Toy for Cats has gotten high marks from four of my five cats; theMaxx is older and perhaps wiser, and was just watching the young ones play!   It was their Memorial Day present from chewy.com!  As I opened the package, all eyes were watching me pour in the Friskies Party Mix (a real hit with all the cats) into a funny looking plastic cat shaped toy that wobbles!   This cat toy provides an interesting way for cats to play and get their treats at the same time!

 This wobbly cat toy comes with Cheese Pulls and with Party Mix. The most evocative part of this little exercise was putting in the long string cheese strands into the “ears” of the wobbly cat toy.  Mocha was the first to try them and when pulling the strings he accidently shifted the toy so some of the goodies spilled out the side!  They were all curious about this toy and spent quite some time investigating it… I don’t know who had more fun, them or me watching them play!

 It did take them a while to figure out exactly how it worked.  As a matter of fact, I had to spin it around in order to show them that the party mix spills out the side as it spins.  There is no doubt about it… they love the party mix which must be like a cat version of potato chips because they can’t eat just one!

After they got the hang of it, they had a fine time of batting poor "Wobberly" around actually one of them went missing as Mocha dragged it under a cabinet by pulling on the cheesey strings that he loves to eat!  Of course, once they have eaten their fill of treats... and they have had their fun...it's nap time!

This is a great toy for cats that allows them to interact for treats in a playful way. It is fun to watch them walk by and give this wobbly toy a swat for a treat!  My only reservation is that the ingredients of the treats are so so and I have thought about replacing them with a freeze dried variety from time to time in order to keep them engaged and to encourage a healthy diet. A plus is that this toy is easy to put together and easy to keep clean.  Friskies also sells a variety of string cheese in different flavors as well as bags of Party Mix !  Check for them on chewy.com.
