Review: A lot of my friends don't like cats because they don't seem to be as affectionate or caring toward their owners. I am a cat person, so I tend to disagree. Cats just don't need the constant attention that dogs seem to. What some call loyalty I call co-dependence. To each their own.

The one thing cats are not appreciative of is toys. Even though this small fuzzy scale model of a hedgehog vibrates and jitters along the ground after a simple pull of a cord, it does nothing to excite my girlfriend's two new kittens. Instead, they insist on playing with bottle caps from my beer and gnawing at my beard. Of course, this only serves to endear me to the little furballs more because it proves that they are simple creatures who don't need fancy toys or distractions to enjoy life. Like myself, Achilles and Chloe are comfortable taking pleasure in the quirkiness of the world around them and chewing hair. Okay, so I don't chew hair, but I do bite my nails. It is almost the same.

This is a great little toy, but due to circumstance, it was a waste of my money. Sometimes all it takes is a kitten's natural wonder to remind us that there is more to life than buying the latest consumer goods.
