Finally, the long-awaited post I told you about is here! Woo-ooh!
Most of my readers probably know that Katie of Glogirly was recently elected Cat Ruler of the World in a contest in which the real winners were the shelters each of the cat-idates was supporting (and especially the new ruler’s choice, here Blind Cat Rescue).
The great election contest was organized by Zee & Zoey and their human Ms. Deb Barnes (Hiya!). The contest was backed by generous sponsors who donated meals, litter and other prizes to shelters. Please follow the link just above for all the details.
Some of the kitties voting also won some prizes! I was one of the lucky Facebook winners!!
We first received the Cat-A-Pole, directly from Ms. Barnes who added a sweet little card!
Okay, the picture isn’t great, but it’s just to give you an idea of its size and everything. Just check the website of the toy for more details.
It was an instant success with me.
The little fur ball with feathers, at the end of the pole, moves in all unexpected directions! Plus it seems the humans get tired less quickly which means we can play longer! So the toy is more enjoyable to both the human (I know, we don’t care much about them but if that can make them play longer ;-) and the kitty.
Milou did play a bit with it too but the human didn’t have the time to take pictures. Truth is, tornado Kitshka spotted the toy and took immediately possession of it. Literally.
She enjoys the Cat-a-Pole so much that I or Milou cannot play with it when she is in the room. Want me to prove it? Check the following video. Don’t forget to turn your speakers on to hear her growling and hissing at the beginning (understand: “the toy is mine!”). And don’t miss the end when she helps the human edit the video.

The toy was – is – a huge success! Thanks to Ms. Barnes and Cat-a-Pole!
WOW! That is incredible and you all sure were having lots of fun!!!
We love our Cat-a-Pole, too! Our only complaint? Teri doesn’t play with us with it enough!!
haha like the energizer bunny… wow – she is very fast ;o)
Oh my goodness!! Kitshka is amazing and I LOVE the video!! I am so glad she is enjoying the toy so much and am thrilled you won the prize for her!! Our Peanut fell head over heels in love with our Cat-a-Pole too and our Zoey drags it around the house!! Great post – I am going to share it with my Cat-a-Pole contact so they can see how much the kitties love the toy!
Fantastic!! Kitshka is a champion, but I understand that you, Texas, and Milou may be a bit frustrated :-( This game is a great invention :-)
ça, c’est une bonne partie! Kitshka s’en donne vraiment à coeur joie!

Crazy kitty! Such energy! I want some of that! Paw pts, Savannah
Kitshka is an all American girl: gorgeous, hot tempered, and casually crazy ;-)
My model ;-)
This is a big favorite at our house, too. It has long since lost its feathers, but that doesn’t make Allegra or Ruby love it any less.
Wow – that sure was worth waiting for :D She’s got the moves, that Kitshka!
I’ve explained Texas that he’d had to wait because I spent about as many hours working as hours he spent napping… He just answered “What’s your point?”
He he! They show no respect for artistic genius.
Oh My, we need to get one of those. That looks like so much fun and Kitshka, you do such a good job chasing it. Well done. Love the video. Take care.
Now that’s one FUN looking toy Texas! Glad you are all getting to share it – even if Kitshka isn’t too happy about HAVING to share!! That’s kittens for ya!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy

That Cat-a-Pole looks like a lot of fun, pals! We’ll have to convince the mom and the dad to get us one. :)
Kitshka, what an awesome job chasing it. Well done. Love the video!!
Ha ha ha… Great video! Bowie says “Meow!” meaning that he wants that toy too…
That looks like a super toy. And Kitshka is a little maniac!
It looks fabulous and so much fun.. Enjoy.. Hugs GJ x
OMC we are laffing so HARD!!! We bet that toy has to be hidden!
Mommy loved the music, too.
Waouh quelle énergie !!!
Uh-oh, we know what Kitshka does to toys…..
That Cat-A-Pole sure is alot of fun!!
Our mom was laughing at Kitshka! She sure is possessive, and we love watching a good game of Cat Fishing. The ending was the best!
We love it MOL!!!. Thanks for your blog comments guys, really appreciated. Mum oves me to wordpress soon I hope.

well Texas me lad..I really do sympathise with you. Your present and Kitshka takes it over and poor Milou got very little chance to play.
The only thing I see in mitigation is that Kitshka is still very young and needs to fineline her position on th prey…….
whereas you and Milou are more experience and much faster, speed being the essence for any cat of good quality.
Just as long as she does not demolish this one as she did the other one… I loved the video! xxxx prrrrrr -prrrrrr
lol :D
Watching all the energy in that video has made me feel a little sleepy! Think I may just go for a quick snooze – great toy!!
Is it just me, or is the cat-a-pole HUGE?! Looks lots of fun tho!!
The fur ball has a normal size but the pole is very long.

Maxwell: Dude, you’re so not getting that thing back, MOL!
FaRADaY: we agree with Teri…our biggest complaint is not having enough play time from mom!
This video was SO cute! :) What a cool post purrrs xx
ha ha…lovely video…adorable cats! :-)
What a cutie!
