Let me preface this by saying that by now I am the third person and I
don't know how many cats to try out this particular thing in a bag.  I
am hereby convinced that whoever came up with this idea did absolutely
no market research what-so-ever.

Stripey Thing (3 years old) - has not come within three feet of it and
that was by accident.

Tony (11 years old) - intrigued at first, got a little more comfortable
after a bit, made a few bats and then got bored and walked away.  He
returns to the room everytime I turn it on though - kind of like I have
turned on a can opener!

Mattie (1 year old) - my best shot at a home for this toy.  She sidled
right up to it and watched it immediately, jumping everytime it made a
noise.  Then she started batting it around.  Now, I can turn the thing
on and as it rattles around on the floor, it can rattle right into her
and she just lays there and ignores it - she couldn't care less that it
is rattling into her belly.

Who is next for the Thing in a Bag?  Email me.

I Reckon IBKFergus might like it - she loves All Things Bag-like and htere's
got to be *something* she prefers to practice her hunting skill on more than
poor Cary's toes!

(If postage is a problem, let me know and I'll PayPal you it)

You know what the answer is, don't you... they're not selling toys to
the CATS, they're selling them to the OWNERS! There's no telling what
a feline will find amusing - ours seem to prefer cardboard boxes and
plastic drink lids to anything bought... the novelty of even the
shiniest crinkliest birdy pales in the face of a juice cap :P

If it were the cats buying them I'd make a fortune by selling the plastic
rings from milk jugs!  ;>

Tell me about it!

Bitties LOVE when Mommy buys a big Transformer because it means they
have this great BOX to play in!!!

I ought to start writing those purchases down as half human
entertainment, half cat expense.
