Birbug Madness

June 19, 2015 By: Summer Samba41 Comments

My human actually put me in here.

Now you can see what was in the box from yesterday’s post! It’s the cool new Neko BirBug and Telescoping Rod from Nekochan! I couldn’t wait for my human to open up the packages.

This can even go on trips with me!

The cool thing about the Telescoping Rod is that it can be pulled out to a length of 32″, but when it’s retracted, it’s only 18″ — small enough to fit into a 20″ suitcase! And you know how important I think it is for toys to travel easily.

Don't you want to kill it right this very second?

As for the Birbug… well, just look at it! I almost thought it was some awesome new species of prey!

For a moment there, I really thought it was alive!

I couldn’t wait to kill it — and my human hadn’t even clipped it onto the rod yet. The string can be clipped onto any of the sections, or guides, of the telescoping rod (except for the one on the very tip). You’re only limited by how much room you have in your house for kitty play!

One of my favorite places to play... and you'll see why in a moment

My human tried really hard to get photos of me playing with the Birbug…

I call this a photo FAIL, but in a fun way!

But most of them wound up looking like this! So she shot some video instead. Not that the video quality is any better, but stick around to the end (it’s only a minute) — you’ll get to see the little trick I do with it!

If you can’t see the above video, click here to watch it on YouTube!

I actually run away with all my Neko Flies too. Sometimes if my human doesn’t want to follow me, she’ll let go and just let me drag the rod. Incidentally, all the Neko Flies can be clipped onto the Telescoping Rod too.

I give the Neko Birbug and Telescoping Rod four paws in the air! You can get it at the Nekochan website, or you can find it on Amazon!

    WE LOVE WAND TOYS!! Especially telescoping ones! WAY cool. We will have to look into getting one of these. Nice trick at the end too 😉 And Sophie says that she is jealous of your pawesome staircase. She could have fun with that all day long!

    Wow, we were going to say you are an excellent jumper, Summer. But we LOVE how you ran off with it even better! Hey, thanks for the Amazon link, on account of, we used it! Mumsy likes the telescoping rod because in our house there is more room to play than in other areas, so that is purrfect.

    The Birbug is our all-time favorite wand toy! You could say that Waffles has something of an obsession. We’re looking for a Birbug Anonymous group for him to join.

    We’ve been wanting to try the Birbug for a while as it looks so fun! We are glad you are loving it, Summer. Sometimes Lita pulls on the Neko Flies so hard that she ends up taking off with them, too, MOL!

    Wow, you really get into that Neko Fly sweetie. That looks like fun. M said she’ll get me the new bug, but probably not the telescoping holder as we have no room for that. The Neko Fly stuff is about the only thing that I play with anymore.
