I fully admit that my cats are spoiled but hey—-we are empty nesters and have to have some distraction in life. Recently a certain commercial has been getting a lot of airplay. The other day I was sitting in the chair when it came on the screen with Buddy on my lap. He immediately got up, moved to the arm of the chair and actually watched the commercial. I have never seen him watch the tv before.
I sent my friend, Ann, the picture because when she was here we talked about this product. She said her husband wanted to get one for their two kitties but it was one of those deals of “Wait–there’s more! For the price of one you get two!” and they weren’t sure they wanted two. I told her if they ever ordered I would chip in.
This week a package came addressed to Buddy and Holly Chiles. Maisy and PeeWee sent them a present. Their very own Cat’s Meow toy. Let’s just say it is a hit. 
The first night we put it out Buddy played with it non stop for over an hour. I think we will have to ration his play time or else invest in a lot of C batteries. Judging from all of the YouTube videos with cats playing with this toy our kitties are not alone in their love of it. Wish I had been the one to think it up.
All this fun for only $19.99—for two!!! Cat’s Meow. I am not being paid for this post—just sharing what my kitties have decided is their favorite toy. 🙂

Leave a commentTalk about clever marketing to cats! Our cat watches the TV when there are birds on it. My husband watches animal documentaries and we often see her staring at the TV when birds are featured. She hasn’t asked us to buy her one yet.
I bet your cat loves your house with all of the nature documentaries!!!
😀 I see those commercials (though luckily my kitties don’t)– and it seems like a great toy! I think I’ve just figured our their Christmas present. 😀
Merry Christmas to your kitties!! Just make sure you have plenty of C batteries!!!
My dog watches this, but I think he’s watching the cats!
I bet you are right!
Wonder if they make a toy for dogs……
Well it might have to be a little beefier than this toy to take a dog playing with it. 🙂
So cute!
Thanks, Mel!!!! They love it!
I have been seeing lots of kitties on the blogs I follow loving this toy! Lucky Buddy and Holly Chiles!! CH and my first kitty as a married couple was a Holly! She was the bestest sweetest kitty.. ♥
Really?? I think it is the latest and greatest thing in cat toys. My Holly is a licker. Geez. Need a bath—come to my house. :-0
I envision they would pounce in the middle and break it. Not the case? Does the movement around the edge keep them off?
Nope–so far so good. It is pretty substantial. They stop it at times but then let it go and it goes right back to entertaining them!!!
what a cool idea – someone is a genius! my kids are laughing like crazy just watching the commercial. ha
I wish I had come up with the idea!
I loved this! We have a cat, Paxton, who would love to try this toy. Is it available in the Walgreens section for “As Seen On TV” items? How funny. Our cat is not interested in the TV as yet. Paxton was my birthday present last year and was adopted from Kitty City. My kids love to watch the kittens play in the front windows of the store. Have a super day!
It might be in that section at Walgreens by now—-just make sure you buy lots of C batteries if it is as big of a hit with Paxton as I think it will be!
We recharge ours! Such a deal!!! LOL
Definitely need to look into that!!!
Lucy has one and she loves it! Marc had to crazy glue the mouse though – she figured out how to pull it off!
I am not surprised that Lucy has one!!! She is one spoiled girl!!! 🙂
I saw this in tv too! Good to know it was a huge hit! I wondered!!! 😀 Great Christmas presents!!! Kitty lovers and dog lovers in our family! My grandchildren! LOL
It really does work!!! They love it.
I love to get reviews on things. Then I don’t have to take the time to return it! 😉 Thank you!
It did look intreguing! LOL Looked like fun! Spoiled kitties and pups!!!
It is a fun toy –that is for sure. They have played with it a lot more than I thought they would.
What does the toy do? Spin around? I am clueless.
Also, have you seen some YouTube video with a cat named George who says “Hello.” He is originally from Owatonna. Heard that on the radio station I listen to as the female DJ recently gave her cat to her brother and he placed this clip online.
Yes! I saw that utube video of the kitty! So cute! LOL
🙂
It has a little “arm” under the fabric circle that rotates at various speeds and directions that they chase. They are mesmerized by it! Buddy figured out to lift the fabric up to look at it under neath. Can’t pull anything over on that cat!
My dog used to watch certain things on TV too, and it was hilarious! Your cats are adorable.
Maisy my golden loved the Air Bud movies! LOL We played them just for her enjoyment! 😀
That is funny!!! I know a lot of dogs especially really love to watch the tv which amazes me.
Thanks, Lois! They are enthralled with this toy. I need to invest in rechargeable batteries…..
What does it do? Marketing directly to our pets, now that is clever.
It has a little “arm” under the fabric circle that moves around randomly at different speeds and directions –so they chase it! Fun !
That is just so awesome! And your kitties are adorable! We have three over here (Melvin, Arlen, and Pip) who manage to keep themselves quite amused. Usually it’s Pip chasing Arlen around and causing trouble. He’s a 13 pound kitten I tell you!
I have Garfield, Zeus, Henry, Sam, Lilly, Sarah, and Star! 😀 Lilly is the smallest and she rules them all! Star is a cry baby. Sam is aloof. Henry is Henry. Sarah is my little old lady. Zeus is a sweetie and Garfield is my big loverboy! LOL
Wow!!! You have a whole crew, don’t you??? They are all so different, aren’t they??? Buddy is our lover and Holly is our licker. 🙂
Don’t you just love kitties??? They definitely keep me entertained. This toy was a bit of a surprise to me that they love it so much.
And Buddy is gorgeous! What a pretty color!
Well, thank you!!!! He is the best cat ever!
I’ve been playing this game with cats for a long time. I used to play it with my dad’s cats and then with my own. All you need is a lightweight material and a stick. Push the stick under it and the cats will pounce on it and go under it after the moving stick. No batteries required and fun interactive play.
Oh I think we all have done that, too, Karen!!! This is just fun because you can really watch them attack it from afar! 🙂
It’s a cat’s world.
Yes—especially in our house!!!
I like cats also. My other daughter had a bunny and I remember how much fun we had . We would sit outside and watch the cat chase the bunny, then the bunny would turn around and chase the cat. We were entertained as they had their fun.
Oh Sniffy! We had fun with that bunny!!!
Yes I’ve seen that commercial too. I have two inside cats and one has a very active and playful. I’ve purchased the round plastic doughnut type toy that has a small ball in center for them to batt around. I will watch for this to come to Wal-Mart or Walgreens. Thanks for the heads up as you never know by some commercials if cats are really going to like it. Love your cat pics.
Well anyone I have talked to that has this toy has cats that love it! I probably never would have bought it but now that I see how much fun they have with it I am glad that my friend got it. I bet it will be at Walgreens soon if it isn’t already!
This cracks me up. Thanks for the smile 🙂
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by!!!
I’ve seen this toy and know my cats would love it, but they’re destructive little jerks. I wonder if it would hold up to my three.
It is actually fairly sturdy but I could see them knocking the little arm out from underneath that moves around –might have to glue that puppy in place with them!
considering how much they love this new toy, I think you should invest in rechargeable batteries!
I agree!!!! I have some but don’t have them charged up! Now is the time!
Lucky kitties!
Reggie breaks all of his toys within 5 minutes. He keeps squeaking them over and over until the squeaker dies and then he can’t be bothered with the toy anymore. I should have bought stock in a squeaker company! 🙂
What a great way to work out a deal to purchase–and the cats have never been happier.
All 4 of the cats love it!!!
That’s So Cool!
Love the toy, and your Calico looks remarkably like ours lol!!
The toy is a lot of fun for them but I have to keep changing the batteries!!! The calico is our Holly—she is a really sweet kitty but a bit of a licker.
