New Tip for Happy Cats

It's been a long time since I've posted here, as I've been busy with my new e-commerce pet products website, writing monthly newsletters, updating product offerings, coming up with new marketing ideas, and spending lots of time on direct mail postcard campaigns as well as other advertising strategies.

My new tip for happy cats is to get them a new laser toy that is now on the market called "FroliCat Bolt", which is an automatic laser toy that will run on its own for 15 minutes, or that you can play with together with your cat. Both Topcat and Sweetie love the FroliCat Bolt Toy. I can turn it on and place it on the floor, and they both will sit and stare at for a couple of minutes, and then try to catch the red light. The toy makes different patterns as the beam keeps moving all over the floor. You can also adjust the mirror in the toy that the light beam goes farther up the wall. Even after the toy shuts itself off automatically after 15 minutes, both Topcat and Sweetie are still looking for the light. So, most times, I turn it on for another 15 minutes.

I think this toy is great because it gives Sweetie some much needed exercise, both physical and mental, and gives her a chance to play. Topcat always wants to play, so it is also good for him. However, TC likes to hide in his little tent, and then comes running out to pounce on the light beam. Then he goes and turns his little tent upside down and sits in it for a few minutes. Then he goes under the dining table, and then runs out and pounces on the light again. Both of my babies are very funny when they are playing, and I can tell that they are enjoying themselves immensely. As they are both 13 years old, I think it is good to try and stimulate them to keep playing and getting exercise. Otherwise, they prefer to sleep most of the time. Although Topcat will follow me around the house for attention for several hours everyday.

Topcat has also been enjoying his "cat grass", which is growing in a little pot on the balcony off the kitchen. Every time he has a chance to go out on the balcony, the first thing he does is to nibble on the "cat grass". The "cat grass" is basically barley, wheat and other grain grass, but it does supposedly help aid digestion. Topcat has always had a delicate digestive system, as he was separated from his actual feline mom way too early, and I don't think he got enough immunity built-up from her milk. Sweetie on the other hand does not care for the cat grass, but does love her "Temptations" treats. She will nose the bag of treats until I pay attention and give her some. I only feed them to her as an extra, not as replacement for any meals, but she loves the extra attention.

Try a "FroliCat Bolt" laser toy for your babies. I'm sure they would enjoy it as much as my babies.
