The products in question are both from the Ourpets brand Go Cat Go! and they are the Darn Yarn Balls and the Sparkle balls, both shown below.

Sparkle Balls have tinsel around dem.

Lose yarn and Strings on Darn Yarn Balls.

This time of year everybuddy warns pet owners about the dangers of putting tinsel on ur xmas tree, but wot about having tinsel in your cat toys???

As you can see by da top pikshur the green ball looks ok, but u can seed loops of tinsel comin off the purple ball. Wot kitty would not sit down and nom dem loops til dey got a piece of tinsel out? I knows I would and my foster monsters would too!

See the loosened tinsel. Could damage a kitties insides!

Da Darn Yarn Balls simply have yarn glued to a thin plastic ball with a metal bell inside. Yes, fun to play wif but also fun to pull yarn off and eat it or even get around neck and strangle kitty!!!

Darn Yarn Ball with Dangerous strings

Easily removed from the thin ball once strings were pulled from ball!

Please be careful out der when selecting your cat toys. Never leave your kitty unattended until you know how der gonna play with a toy. Fur sum, non-destructive kittehs, these balls would be fine. But I dunt finks it worth the risk of hurting ur cat or habbin surgery to remove strings, tinsel or bells from their intestines, do u?

I did not go into too much details about Bela crossing da Rainbow Bridge. But az it got closer to the time when herz would be leaving us herz sprung a leak herz had kitty incontinence. Every where herz went herz leaved a little puddle of piddle. So we used training pads to halp keep the clean up to a minimum. We covered all her favorite layin spots wif pads. herz did not seem to mind and still laid in her special spots, but the humanz only had to pick up a pad and not have to scrub and scrub da carpet or da sofa or da bed covers fanks to da pads.

Herz also had a habit of peeing outside the box. Herz never quite got the hang of going all the way in and sitting down to peeing. Her butt almost always stuck out and herz would make a mess. If da humanz had thought of putting down training pads around the box earlier they would have saved years of cleaning up potty messes.

I on the other hand am a purrfect boy and NEVER, EVER make messes….NOT!

I only use the litter box about half the time. We don’t know why. I have been to the V-E-T and dey say it not dat I sick (sumtimes it iz and I get horrible pills to take. I started my inappropriate urinating in the kitchen under the table (and almost ruined the new wood laminate floor). I have since been banished from that room via a fancy baby gate. So no more kitchen lovins for Human2 when herz gets home from werk. Then I started going on the landing at the bottom of our steps. So the humans started putting training pads down there and I would go on the pads. Then dey thought wot if he iz like Picasso and just does like the sand? (Herz had a box wif towels in cause herz would not use a regular box wif litter in it.) So they put a training pad in a box on the landing. Guess wot? I refused to use it. so now the box is there wif a pad in it but no more messes there.

Instead I started going in front of the radiator in the dining room. The humanz are very upset wif me, but very frustrated too since dey not knows wot iz causing dis behavior. The Purina ProCare Ultra Dry Advanced Training Pads were once again a purrfect solution along wif the bottle of Purina Pro Care Carpet & Upholstery Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator dat we got from Purnina to try wif da pads. Ma humanz cleaned up my piddle spot using the enzyme cleaner and putting down two pads (ma piddle spots look like a human did go there). Putting the pads down afore the enzyme solution wuz dry halped keep it werking. The Purina stain remover seems to werk az good az any (and believe u me we haz tried just about all of dem) and it haz a pleasant scent that wuz not overbearin and did not make H2′s asthma all messed up.

Since I have such big piddles I haz to let you knows da pads held most of da urine, but ma humanz were happier cause a little mess iz better den a ginormous one. Sides most kittehs won’t be habbin dat issue wif des pads (nor would most puppies — MOL). I just a big old moose iz all.

So iffen u haz a kitty makin messes fur u may we suggest dat u gib da training pads a try, but mind u sum kittehs (like da foster monsters) finks da pads are toys.

Disclaimer: I did receive a sample of da pads and cleaner form da manufacturer, but the thoughts, stories, opinions and piddle are all mines. Oh and since we needed to usin da products rite away der iz no actual pikshure of me wif dem so we used computer magiks to show me wif da items I gotted.

Best part wuz Human2 woked up in da middle of da nite and reached over and grabbed a slightly soggy Lamb Chop in da dark. Piper not only played wif it but herz dragged it up da stairs and into da bed wif H2. I finks herz likes it.

Den tonight H2 put it out of kitteh reach on da Caddy Stacks and Piper played and played wif it. Herz even grabbed it and runned under da table to kill it sum more likes herz did wif da Spock teddy bear.  We finkin mehbe it be a good replacement fur da Spock bear.

Beary nice card comed wif da donations today. Fanks u Mrs. Storch!

A cuddle pile only requires two kittehs.

I finks Blondie iz askin fur halp MOL.

Dis one wuz smart n stayed out of dat cuddle pile.

This past weekend ma pals at One By One Cat Rescue had someone drop off 24 kitties of all ages from newborns to pregnant adults (so in reality they dropped off in the range of 30-40 kitties). All were boxed up and the boxes were sealed with tape.

While we would like to catch the culprit da immediate issue is getting all these kitties into the shelter and getting them to da V-E-T. All will need der shots, de-wormed, flea meds and spayed/neutered when da time comes. Dis iz beary expensive and my chip-in here while set at only $1000 will bearly make a dent.

These are all friendly cats so who ever dumped them played with them until they no longer wanted them. But they are in good paws now! Mommies and babies have been reunited. Pregnant cats will be having der kittens any day now.

These kitties need our halp. Please donate wot ever you can. Use the chip-in below (comes to me) I will be saving up the donations and making one large donation in all our names. Alternately, you can  go directly to their site and donate directly to them or to send a check donation to them. They are also looking for foster parents for kitties already in the shelter to halp make room for the new kitties. If you can foster or know someone that might be willing to do so, please contact 1by1, fanks u!
