It’s time to announce the winner of the PetFusion Cat Scratcher Lounge! I’ve decided to let Binga do the announcing because — mainly because she invited herself! It is:
Sue B.!
Concatulations, Sue! I really wish I had one to give everyone who entered. If you still want to buy one, you can get it on Amazon, and it is discounted!
Now I have a bonus for you — I am going to give you play tips to pass along to your humans! You don’t need a Cat Scratcher Lounge to do them — it is all about mental attitude! The biggest mistake humans make is that they do not understand how to think like prey. For example, see below — I am watching my prey very closely. I may be here for a while, not moving! My prey is going to stay there and not move too until it thinks it is safe — then it is going to try to get away! But of course it will not escape my deadly claws. The wrong thing for a human to do is get bored and move it too soon! Prey has lots of patience because it does not want to get killed.
Prey is also very sneaky! This feather wand prey is trying to peek at me from within the Cat Scratcher Lounger. The moment it knows it has been seen, it is going to dash back inside because it does not want to get caught! If I am lucky, I will be faster and kill it.
Here is the opposite way — I am inside the Cat Scratcher Lounge, waiting for the unsuspecting prey to come by — and I caught it! Sometimes prey is pretty dumb.
But you do not need a fancy lounger to play these games! You can do the very same thing with a $2.99 Cat Dancer and a brown paper shopping bag!
Can you see that the Cat Dancer was being extra sneaky here? It tried peeping out at me from under the bag! Don’t worry, I was too smart for it. It died a violent death.
We kitties use lots of imagination when we play, and humans need to follow our lead!
Some links are affiliate links and I get a commission if you buy from the shops! Yay!
See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
Thank you for these tips. The Rumbleparents try, but I don’t think they get how to play properly. I think your tips will help!
Concatulations! We hope you enjoy it very much.
Congratulations to Sue B!
Thank you so much for your play tips. I learned a lot – especially not to move the toy too soon.
You look very cute in the bag 🙂
Those are excellent play tips, Sparkle. We like to play through our scratcher as well.
Congrats to the winner!
Thanks for those play tips Sparkle – we are going to sit on Mum until she has read them so she can play nicely!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Yay for Sue B. That is terrific. And thanks Sparkle for that great advice on the kill. We took notes and will try to do all that. Take care.
Oh my gosh my kitties are so excited!!! Meow!!! Thank you so much. Responded to your email.
Concats to Sue B.! She is very lucky!
Oh, Sparkle, we just love the look on your face hunting that unsuspecting prey!
Hooray for Sue B, she is gonna have fun with that fur sure!
Concats Sue!
You have Prey Philosophy down pat! Great pics sweetie! Have a pawsome day!
PURRS!

Congratulations to Sue!
And thanks to Sparkle for her tips – I’m going to have my human read them carefully 😉

Congratulations to the lucky winner. The publicist says the problem here is the Farm cats have REAL prey and they bring it to her. Sometimes dead, sometimes not.
Nice play tips. TW never keeps her hand or the toy in place long enough for me to catch it. She sez because she’s old her legs fall asleep. Pfftttt! I caught some real prey last week! Sparkle, if that Cat Scratcher Lounge would’ve been mine, I might have jumped campaigns. HAH!
NOW you tell me!
Very good advice, as usual, Sparkle! Yes, I don’t think it is the prey that is dumb or impatient — it is the hoomans.
Concatulations to Sue B…..but….I secretly want to scratch her eyes out…Love, Cody
ConCats to the winner!!
Sparkle, they are very good tips for anyone who is going to rule the world! 😉
Concatulations to Sue B! Thanks for those play tips Sparkle! We’re working on Mommy to get us one of those loungers or at least go to Trader Joe’s to get us a paper bag!
Congrats, Sue! What a cool giveaway. My kitties love a good Trader Joe’s bag too, Sparkle!

Congrats to Sue! Out cats are partial to TJ bags too! See you tomorrow for the debates.
Those are some great play tips, Sparkle! Thank you!
And congratulations to Sue B. Moosey guarantees that you will love the PetFusion cat scratcher. He knows from first hand experience, because we have one, and it his favorite!
I love play tips, Miss Sparkle. Moare Moare!
Concats to Sue B! We told our mum to have more patience and we are not asleep but waiting for the right moment to pounce.
I agree, prey is stupid compared to us!
Those were great tips Sparkle!!!

Bummer, we really wanted that scratcher! But Mommie says maybe Christmas time…..
That’s excellent advice, Sparkle. Glogirly and Gloman think that they can multi-task while I’m stalking my prey. I’m onto them.

Good luck in tomorrow’s debate! Tell Binga to set the alarm. Wouldn’t want you to oversleep. heh heh…
You know what, Sparkle? The Human saw on another blog–we forgets which one right now–maybe it was even yours and I will feel sooooooo stupid if it was!–that somekitty’s human had cut little windows in the paper bag and made even more places for the prey to sneak into!
Great play tips Sparkle!!! I think sometimes I might move the prey too fast, I’ll try to slow things down in future 🙂
Concatulations to Sue B! Sparkle we like your simple, straightforward advice.
The problem with our “prey” is that it wears out before we do.
The bag is one of my most favorite things!
We love bags! And boxes! And feathers too!
concats to the winner! our mom is one of those that gets bored too quick ::sigh:: Isn’t the Cat Dancer one of THE best toys?!?

Concatulations to Sue B!!
