I was at the local pet store and stumbled on the most amazing toy ever, the 'Ball of the Wild'. It's a ball that can be filled with treats and makes squeaky mouse noises as it rolls around. I've been looking for a toy like this for years!
I brought it home, ripped it open and proceeded to stuff it full of Greenies. (The treat hole is small so I had to break the treats into smaller pieces for them to fit inside.)
Rufus is intrigued.
Giving the ball a sniff.Rufus had a bit of trouble grasping the concept of this toy. When I first stuffed the ball with treats and set it down, he ignored the ball entirely and followed me around expecting me to give him the treats myself. I put in some fresh catnip and then he understood, quite quickly!!
He's got the crazy eyes.
Rufus doesn't care much for the mouse noises so when the batteries run out, I probably won't replace them. I think this is a superb product and really love that Rufus has to exercise his brain and body to get to the treats.
That is a cool toy! Angel has always loved balls and squeeky mice. She might play with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat toy idea. I think the cats would love it - and the exercise part is great. Not sure how they'd feel about the noise though - guessing they'd agree with Rufus.
ReplyDeleteit is like a kitty pong.

ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like fun! And we bet the catnip made it even more interesting ;-)
