Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006Krackle Sack?
I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were talking about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into and it made a rustling sound like a plastic bag. Krackle Sack? I did a search on Amazon.com and all they have is one for a ferret and it was originally $42.00???? Is there a cheaper version made for a cat available that I can get online, that you know of? Thanks for any help! kili Here is a Crinkle sack for a lot less: "http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=14900&cm_mmc= Shopping%20Portal-_-Gifts.com-_-Cats-_-10%20x%2016-1/2%20x%207%20H&ref=4171& subref=AA" > I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were talking > about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into and it made a [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > kili > I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were talking > about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into and it made a [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks for any help! I found one at either PetsMart or Petco, but mine have never shown much interest in it. (I think they got mixed reviews here, when the subject came up, a while back.) > kili > I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were talking > about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into and it made a [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > kili Do you sew? Simplicity has a pattern for a Krackle Sack. You just line it with cellophane and boy does it krackle. My bunch are just so spoiled they don't give a rip about anything I make/buy them. I ended up giving the Krackle Sack away. I've still got the pattern, though, you can have it if you can use it. Sherry Hi~~~ Dr's Foster & Smith's Catalog carried a Krackle Sack which I sent for. Thomas, outside of lying on top of it once in a while, is disinterested. He would rather play with a paper bag!

It was a lot less expensive than what you find -- but neither of my cats showed any interest at all in it. They love paper bags, boxes, and their comfy cat beds, but they turned their noses up at Crackle Sack (which was something I thought they would love).

I guess I'll pass. I just thought it was something that they'd like, but from the sound of it, most of you didn't get rave reviews from the kids. Onto the next gimick, I suppose. Thanks, again! kili > Well, thanks for the advice, all. I guess I'll pass.

Yes, most cats love those. Cats will fly through the air after them so be sure to take care not to aim in a direction where a cat could collide with a sharp piece of furniture while in pursuit of this delightful "prey." I also have one with a "squeak-n-play" mouse attached. The sound attracts Duffy immediately. MaryL > >> Well, thanks for the advice, all. I guess I'll pass.

Because he brings his fishing rods into the kitchen to set up, the cats go nuts for them, as these heavy lead balls that smell wonderfully of prawns and fish appear, and magically sail through the air and roll around.....drives dh nuts though, as they tangle his line and 'cat teeth will nick the line and make it break' and I have to hover around watching out for hooks.... > I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were > talking about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > kili http://www.craftycreatures.com/herestohealth/animal/toys/toys_krackle.html $13.95. Looks more similar to the crinkly crackle sack my Persia loves than the ones that look like "tubes" on Dr. Foster & Smith sites. She doesn't crawl into it but she loves rolling around on it. She likes the sound a lot. Jill >http://www.craftycreatures.com/herestohealth/animal/toys/toys_krackle.html > >$13.95.

Yeah, she was a bit freaked out, where is it? Where did it go??? As soon as it was out of the dryer she was all over it :) Anything you pay $42 for will guarantee the cat doesn't like it. Just on principle. > I was looking for a new toy for my babies and I knew you guys were talking > about a "bedding" type thing that the cat could crawl into and it made a [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > kili > Anything you pay $42 for will guarantee the cat doesn't like it. Just on > principle. You've got THAT right! Just let me find a favorite food on sale somewhere, and they promptly go off it! (I swear they check out the super market cash register tapes.) |
