The Cat Toy That Misrepresents Itself

December 31, 2009 By: Sparkle Cat8 Comments

How many days has it been since Christmas? And finally my human got around to putting together the Cataction Magneticat.

What's this thing supposed to do anyhow?

It’s not like the assembly was so awfully complicated — I think it had about three pieces to snap into place.

This is so elementary, you don't even need opposable thumbs to assemble it!

So I checked it out and waited for something to happen.

Just making sure the string part isn't edible.

I have to say it wasn’t very exciting.

It's not doing a very good job of imitating prey.

Finally I went back to the box to see if I could get a better grasp of what this “toy” was supposed to be or do and found a glaring mistake:

Not mesmerizing, little motion and DEFINITELY not a mouse!

Seriously, only a human with really bad eyesight could possibly mistake THIS for a mouse.

Charlatans! How dare they insult my intelligence like this!

After that, I was outta there.

Mouse my TAIL.

    Hey There Sparkle,
    I can confirm that a ladybird is not a mouse in any way shape or form!! And I am dropping by to say a big thank you for being one of my top droppers. I love to keep track of your daily diary and watch your antics. Good luck with your human training.
    from Brenda

    Sparkle, Excuse us if we are out of line, but we think you walk out of a picture better than anyone else. *wink, wink*

    I imagine just another in a long line of dismal “cat” toys – my last feeble toy was a green mouse (really? who thinks mice are green?) attached to a fishing pole. I ignored the pathetic attempt for a rodent and promptly bit the fishing line in two – effectively trashing the whole toy in one bite! Happy Mew Year Sparkle! And my mlle sends her best to yours.

    Did that ladybug eat the mouse? That’s the weirdest thing ever!

    Hope you and your family have a happy new year!

    […] guess my human felt bad that the Cataction Magneticat was such a dud because she came home with a new cat toy for me. It was the least she could have […]

    […] Yes, it’s back. That confounded, boring Cataction Magneticat with the ladybug-posing-as-a-mouse. […]
