Cat Toy Winners and Losers

March 10, 2020 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

Summer judges the cat toy winners and losers from a recent photo session

Remember my photo session from a couple of days ago, when I mentioned I didn’t like all the cat toys my human was using? Well, I am going to give you a run down of the cat toy winners and losers today!

Can you guess which ones I liked, and didn’t?

This one definitely shows promise… even though my human neglected to remove the price tag.

This one’s for sure a winner! Actually, when my human first bought it at a cat show (all these toys came from cat shows), I played with it right away. So maybe I am cheating a little since I already knew I would like it.

I seem to be pretty fascinated by this cat toy, don’t I?

And… we have another winner! Because of the long strands, my human is extra careful to make sure this toy is out of my reach when she’s not using it to play with me. It would not be a good thing if I ate any of them!

And finally… hm, I don’t seem terribly impressed with this one, do I?

Yep, it’s a big fail here!

Are you surprised by any of my winners or losers? Or do you agree with my choices?

    Those are so neat and you definitely showed how you feel about #3. MOL! Back in the day when I had cats, we used to tie their toys on a rod and reel and let them chase it. (Wow! That makes me sound ancient!)

    Great choice of toys! We have some that we are not fans of either. Mom also makes sure we don’t end up eating ours. We can get pretty rough with them while playing. MOL. Purrs

    We would like the ones you did, Summer. That last one would be a “maybe” for Ava, but Gracie would have most klikely passed. 🙂

      I actually cheated on the continuity – even though I showed it last, it was actually the first toy that was presented to me!

    I think Mudpie would like the last one because of the pom poms on it.

    We like the color green, so the toy you didn’t like so much, we probably would go for. The others we like, too. When the housekeeper takes time to pay with us, we’ll take anything! – Tom x and Bridget x

    We think they are all pawsome but agree that the last one is too short.

    Yep it’s all about the “dangle” and movement isn’t it Summer…..I agree….if a toy just doesn’t move to capture my interest then it’s a fail. There are lots of toys out there in toyland so we don’t need to SETTLE for something if it doesn’t strike our fancy!

    Hugs, Teddy

    Yes, it is easy to tell which toys you like best. Those expressions are perfect. Maybe you can add cat toy tester to your resume.
