Elf Test
Elf: We got this toy for Christmas this year.
See the tacky Tupperware lid taped to the top?
There is a reason for that.
Elf: See, I really wanted to get those balls out of there and bat them around on the floor.
So … I tried getting them out from outside
… then I decided I could get them out from inside.
I tried by paw for a while, then stuck my head in the hole to get a better view.
That did not end well, the toy got stuck on my head.
I FREAKED!
Luckily, Dad was nearby and was able to grab a hold of me and pull the toy off my head, whew!
Elf: Needless to say, I don’t play with that toy anymore.
Mom says that if cat toy manufacturers knew about my toy testing skills and how quickly I can find a flaw in a design, she could retire early.
Whatever, as long as my dinner is on time I’m good.
Cat Mom: They do make a better design than the one we bought, the little cat head on top is much cuter than a Tupperware lid!

We’ve got a toy like that, but nobody’s ever stuck his head in the center and got stuck. Not even Bowie.

Yikes….we have one of those and Noelle always tries to get them out from the inside. Fortunately, she’s never gotten her head caught! Thanks for letting us know that could happen.

OH NO well we are glad your toy is unstuck from your head and you’re OK. Maybe you could get in touch with that place and you could test their designs for a price Elf MOL.

We are glad that scary episode had a happy ending. Hope the peeps who made that toy are aware of the danger it poses to kitties with intelligent paws and noses…
