Ranger graduation Binx and Ranger have been enjoying the birds that visit our bird feeder. They also enjoyed having some fresh cut flowers to nibble on when their humans's backs were turned. Mercy enjoyed eating the flowers too.

Toy Review


Ranger and Binx toy Grass Patch Hunting Box by Petstages

Product testers: Ranger & Binx

 

The Hunting box comes with 3 balls with bells inside. The cats really enjoyed trying to get the balls through the openings at the top of the box. Binx also tried to get the balls through the openings on the sides. The grass on top can be used for scratching. This toy can be used without humans. So your cat can play while you are at work or sleeping.

 

Who we recommend the Grass Patch Hunting Box for:  - any cat who needs some toys to use up extra energy   - someone who doesn't have dogs because the balls can come out and some dogs may eat the balls.
