Product Review & Giveaway!

Today we are reviewing cat toys from Play-N-Squeak. We received two of their interactive toys: the Tethered & Feathered Play Wand, and the Bounce & Pounce Play Wand.

We decided to test one toy and have a giveaway for the other toy! Newman made the choice, and thought the Bounce & Pounce Play Wand looked like it would be fun.

The mouse has a little piece of plastic that you remove in order to get the squeaking started! Samoa thought the mouse was cute.


Vivien enjoyed batting at the mouse, and especially liked the realistic squeaking that happens when the mouse hits the floor.


Newman and Vivien took turns batting and catching the mousie!



Once the fun started, Gleek joined in and shouted, Wowza this toy is pawsome!

Newman jumped for joy over the Bounce & Pounce Play Wand! Four out of six cats give it a five paw rating. The other two cats were snoozing and didn't participate in the testing.

Here is what Play-N-Squeak says about their interactive toys:

Cats will love the realistic-looking furry creatures with their soft feather details, and the catnip stuffing is sure to enhance their playtime experience. Rounding out the multi-sensory encounter, the toys feature the superior technology of the realistic electronic “RealMouse™ Sound that the company has pioneered and perfected. The “squeak” that the toy emits has the same frequency and volume of a live mouse; so cats may actually believe they have caught a real mouse! All of the cat’s incredibly powerful senses will be focused on the sight, feel, sound and smell of these delightful Play Wands.

The Play-N-Squeak Play Wand line features attractive packaging designs, utilizing materials in the packaging and in the products that are completely recyclable. The toys in the Play Wand line include the “Bounce & Pounce™ Play Wand, the “DangleMouse™, the “Flick 'n Stick™ Play Wand and the “Tiger Teaser™ Play Wand. Each Play Wand features long-life batteries to ensure many hours of healthy interactive playtime together.

I would like to win the tethered and feathered play wand. I need a new toy cuz Macy loses,destroys,hides and otherwise monopolizes the other toys. Plus, I could use to lose a little weight. I would rather play with a new toy then diet paws down.
Thanks Newman,

I would love to win this toy! Everyone says I am very "feisty" and even my vet says I am a high-energy, easily bored kitty who needs lots and lots of interactive playtime! I love new toys! I especially love wand toys that I can drag around and taunt Leo and Lucy with! I hope I win! Pick me, Newman, pick me!

Bonks,
Charlie

Maus and family said...

Birdie and Gabi got really excited when they saw a picture of the toy! They love all kinds of string and wand toys, especially Birdie, who will walk around the house with one in her mouth and make all sorts of trills and chirps. She especially likes to do that in the wee hours of the morning but, for whatever reason, the humans don't like that too much! mol :o)

That does look fun. I think we can tell it from a real mouse squeak, but if you send it over, we can do a side by side comparison and let you know the results.
