Cat Expert Reviews Bestselling Cat Toys on Amazon

0:00 so this wild idea hit me I was like why don't I go shopping for cat toys on Amazon more it was like morbid curiosity what happens if I type in the word cat toy on Amazon what comes up I figure I'll order some some of it by the way straight up horrifying and uh show you what I got and review them and maybe

0:19 even have a cat review them let's do that oh yeah I got to have this what even is that well there's one we didn't get all right I'll take that all right oh wait I got to have well that is way too expensive are they crazy okay that's about as much as I'll spend and there we go so now I just got to wait for Amazon

0:39 to do its thing and then I'll tell you what I think is that Amazon oh look at that it's here now these are some of the top selling toys in all of Amazon land so let's [Music] uh it's a box actually when you think about it this should be the top selling toy on Amazon okay so let's go for the first

1:05 one here I'm kind of excited so um our first one here are the poto Roma catnip toy balls four piece extra cat energy ball edible kitten and silver Vine toys for cat lick healthy Kitty teeth cleaning Dental chew toys Cat wall treats green or as the Box just says magic cat balls isn't that really what

1:25 all cat balls are you know cuz life Springs from them okay let's just stop there so the magic cat balls have in them Gall fruit the hell is Gall fruit Gall fruit the most potent form is a result of flies laying eggs in the silver Vine fruit the fly eggs and larvi cause the fruit to form Galls or lumps

1:46 with a higher concentration of the active compounds yeah and there it is so I guess what you do with this stick it to the wall and your cat should walk up and lick and bite it what I like about this toy is that by putting it on the wall you're creating a signpost of sorts so your cat walks by it Chomp on it chew

2:04 it leave their saliva on it scent marking 101 and so for any other cat that walks through the house we have scent identification uh an opportunity for for group scent marking and in terms of those transitional spaces like hallways for instance it just allows for a sense of ownership a signpost and

2:21 that's great but I got to say I just saw this part ingredients catnip silver Vine Gall fruit sticky rice Etc the fact that they actually put Etc on the ingredients bothers me anyway now all we have to do is allow our test cat to test it so Casper you're up oh you already smell this oo okay here we go hey

2:48 bud what an amazing product tester this boy is okay so that alone just cheek marking it is fantastic and remember this is probably going to be mounted on a wall I'm going to hold it still for now good boy Cass all right the next one up here great company great guys and also the omnipresent Yao banana I I don't know

3:11 why it is I mean Yao makes a whole bunch of different catnip uh toys and they're all I think great the catnip in it is really high quality and the sort of canvas on it is breathable enough that even as the catnip is kind of dying a little bit it's still potent and I don't know man I see these bananas all over

3:28 like when you guys send in videos of your cat there always like a ya banana off to the side somewhere and so I love these we actually do sell these on the Jackson Galaxy store and I'm just glad to have them now again not all cats are going to respond to catnip so don't buy any catnip toy assuming that your cat's

3:43 going to dig it um because your cat may be completely immune to catnip Yao banana never all that expensive and a great stocking stuffer if that's the time of year all right that's the ya Casper oh yeah [Music] it is the ya

4:08 banana all right then moving on our next top seller is the cat stages Tower of tracks uh you got the balls here that go around if you want to know what my review is on this I think you look no further than the expression of the cat on the cover here can you see that look at his expression he's like h I mean

4:31 whatever listen these things are fine and as I'm going to say many times during these reviews any investment that you make in your cats uh you know in terms of stimulating them and having them play with things as long as it's not dangerous for them invest in it I applaud you for doing it kittens love

4:48 this stuff for a grown cat this gets boring awfully quick so I would recommend this if your cats do like it put it out and then take it away put it back down a week or two later something like that um because it really is not all that it's not like it's they're going to master it pretty quickly let's

5:04 just put it that way anyway this is the cat stages Tower of tracks Casper verdict ready all right let's see what kind of cat you are he's watching he's watching he's like I think I want to play with the fuzz on the carpet probably shouldn't have given the catnip first all right let's keep on going here

5:28 um we are now on to this right here it's a box of fun this is from Fashions talk mouse cat toys mixed bag 27 assorted mice toys for cats kitten catnip feather furry rattle plush interactive Kitty toys there's plenty of these variety packs so when we say this is in the top 10 of cat toys on Amazon it could be

5:51 this one or many others so far we've got mice are these all mice we've got mice with that is that a mouse or a gold that's a mouse I mean having these mice around the house nothing wrong with that man cats can bite bite it cats well to that end I do want you to be aware of certain things that I find to be a

6:13 little egregious when it comes to these types of things and listen when you're buying 27 of these little guys for what is it $339 you're going to get this kind of quality so I'm going to make the assumption that it's going to have some problems um I'm not a fan of cats being having access to toys at all times where

6:33 something like this is the norm so we have this sort of feather tail thing now I'm I'm guessing but let me try it yeah there it goes so your cat bites it and we've got feathers all over the place the you know is it deadly to them no of course it's not but they are going to wind up pooping it out even with with

6:50 wand toys that have feathers on it that's why I tell you after you're done playing pick it up take it away this is 100% in your cat's intestines which again not the end of the world but could be a problem uh one never knows they don't have those little beady eyeballs that can come out so that's good these

7:09 27 mice are going to wind up under your fridge anyway so for however good they are for however long they are that's that's wonderful um at the risk of completely overloading you Casper here we go it's a he's like is it food is it food is it food no it's [Music] mice he goes for the one that looks like it

7:32 might have food in it so to be fair if this was the first thing out of the box today I think he would have gone for it you just want food huh you just want food if you want to have some fun with this uh you take this take a whole bunch of catnip that's in a you know like a jar and marinate these guys man you put

7:52 it in there shake it up and let it hang out there in a few for a few days use Jackson Galaxy organic us grown catnip just saying good time for your cats made even better especially since a lot of these guys are completely porous so that helps to hold on to the nip or the silver Vine or whatever all right the

8:07 Amazon Hit Parade continues the next thing I ordered was oo it's the smarty cat Dazzle unicorn crinkle plush catnip cat toy yeah the Dazzle unicorn this says it has catnip in it I don't smell nothing again in the in the land of dangerous stuff that you don't want your cats to ingest we've

8:27 already talked about feathers it's this thing that I hate and so many toys have ribbons on them guys because if your cat oh no no let's say when your cat decides to rip this off of this unicorn and then they actually uh swallow this look at that look at how long that is and if you

8:45 don't think your cat's going to eat that or if you have multiple cats at least one of your cats is not going to eat this I guarantee you you're either heading into the ER cuz it's wrapped itself around uh an intestine or something or at the very least you're going to be following your cat around

8:59 for 2 days waiting for them to poop this out that is no fun especially when it's just like the end of it and you got to pull it out I know I'm creating a hell of a picture here and the unicorn's like but you're ruining it I am love itself anyway um before you give this to your version of Casper just get rid of the

9:19 ribbon and by getting rid throw it away they'll find it now we have a naked unicorn and herey Buddy what do you [Music] say you know once it gets to the point where his foot is more interesting than the toy I just have to do this because I'm so curious as to whether there's actually catnip in here uh no this is a

9:44 box cutter let's see what's actually in here we have some substance in here I mean this may have been catnip 4 years ago when it was packaged but it is is 100% dead this gets packaged in China even just the shipping alone it's 90 days on the water so take it with a grain of salt I mean you pick up that ya banana

10:09 you smell it you smell catnip from a mile away this smells like a disappointing unicorn he's like you're a disappointing unicorn yep I agree we are on to this five pack here by Legend dog my God this has over 20 ,000 reviews on Amazon comes in right under 10 bucks there's five of them and

10:34 basically they're supposed to be kickers I've got some issues with this I mean the fabric is fine it's good it's cute you know there's five of them which is fine from a catnip perspective you know this ain't no ya banana let's put it that way uh it's it's a little sort of dead here's the

10:51 thing that I find a little misleading if you look at the picture on the page on Amazon uh they put kittens in there so it basically just messes with the sort of perspective of the toy these are little toys I mean in comparison take a look at my Kicker this is one of the Jackson Galaxy kickers that's a proper

11:11 kicker right there as a maker of a kicker and a connoisseur of kickers uh I'd want them to be tightly packed so it really can be kicked properly and this is just awful mushy again for under 10 bucks for five of these go for it but let's let's see what Casper says about these kickers here you go nice catch

11:27 like I said before I like the the m material of it but it's really small and it's really not the most potent of catnips also don't forget this folks that once you present your cat with catnip they actually become kind of immune to it for the next couple hours so he's not going to have the kind of

11:44 response and we kind of spoiled him with the ya too so all right so for our next entrance is one that I think I've talked about before and the fact that I get to hold one in my hands and tell you how deviously horrible this toy is now I get to twoin one wearable automatic cat toy

12:03 with LED lights it's a collar folks it's a laser pointer in a collar and and that happens right there and I bet you there's a couple of oh yeah there's the uh the Blinky one right there and uh whoever invented this clearly a dog person uh or a stist or both so you put this around your cat's neck and then

12:25 they wear it and then you turn it on and it's the cat toid that they can't catch and they can't escape so as long as it's on them it's like the carrot and the stick you're never going to get to it and it's always going to be right there yeah oh and Casper H psych so this one I'm kind of

12:43 actually kind of psyched about so uh here in the top 10 we've got a the aersa cat toy ball luncher gun cat fetch toy gun shooter plush ball shooting gun 20 pieces of pom pom balls it's also really funny because uh the cat in the picture is wearing a necklace of these balls which I do not recommend we try at home

13:02 but um I think maybe I'm just excited about it because it reminds me of like my childhood here and now I think if it reminds me of my childhood let's see if it works the same way yeah you just put one of these pom poms in and then you launch it oh that was a shot so remember don't

13:19 launch it at your cat cuz that actually came out at some velocity um let's just see if what happens when we shoot it this way it's still it gets some distance man is not for every cat I'll just say that I mean listen that's loud uh for one and and like I said it comes out at velocity but

13:37 it's still kind of fun all right green horn but anyway uh only 102 ratings but that again is because there's 40 companies that make this uh they all come from the same Factory so don't worry about it and uh yeah let's see what he thinks I mean if he doesn't see it happening then oh it didn't count

14:02 [Music] ready oh he's getting straight up lazy now and now we come to one of this is like the original you think of cat toy and you think about interactive cat toy this bad boy comes up in my head number one it's this thing the cat dancer it's a wire with cardboard and it's great and

14:22 I would always have a few of these around the house it's unpredictable you know the cat will go for it and they'll chew this cardboard off go on over to the Jackson Galaxy store forget about Amazon man go on the Jackson Galaxy store get yourself one of these and also the same company makes the cat charmer

14:37 which is a different type of interactive toy but again one that's like a Shor fire hit with at least one of the cats in your home so yay for the cat dancer under five bucks you know instant interactivity and to prove my point uh Casper what do you say let's see if you like this oh I told you guys it is

14:57 instantaneous it is a miracle and it was literally somebody sitting in their house one day and going okay here's a coat hanger and a piece of go go knock yourself out now remember I would totally recommend that you guys pick this up when you're not playing because that cardboard is history once Casper or

15:16 anyone else starts to Chomp on it all right let's see what else Amazon cloth brought us all right so this is a snake toy cat toys snake interactive realistic simulation smart sensing snake USB rechargeable uh okay whatever this goes in this goes in and I've actually tried this one before um and I'll tell

15:37 you why they are really hit or miss there you go there's the snake um Once you turn it on and they are USB rechargeable there's the little and I I don't know that it's going to oh look the tong goes and it's on Wheels so uh once we put it on the ground although I can almost guarantee you it's not going

15:56 to work on carpet cuz these wheels are just lame um but yeah it'll snake along and I will tell you what the experience was in my house uh the experience was this thing goes across the floor uh and the cats watch it like this and then it hits something and it either or goes under something it says it automatically

16:13 senses things and moves the other directions sometimes that works sometimes it doesn't but at the end of the day there's nothing to grab there's nothing to bite it's just a hard plastic so just like with the cat stages or anything like that it loses its luster pretty quickly let's see what uh our boy

16:27 Casper thinks but like I said it's on a rug so I'm having my doubts we'll see by and large you guys these toys with wheels on it don't move on carpet just to give it a fair Shake we have anything here that we can put this down on Gasper I mean it does move snakish

16:57 L and that's usually what I would expect remember one of the things about about these toys are that they move pretty cool but because they have no scent and there's no way to sort of Mark them or anything like that that's usually what it comes down to and if you haven't seen my my video

17:18 on puzzle toys right up there take a look every cat should have at least one puzzle toy in the house and of course I recommend many so that they don't get bored with it but here is bugging out and bugging out is uh and thankfully high on the list here at Amazon and the way this thing works treat goes in here

17:38 move this guy around or they have the little leavs that go here and that way you can mix it up you know are they going to go for the leaf or they going to move the thing sometimes like the leaf is like is like the kindergarten version of puzzle toy just like like that and there it is these are a little

17:52 harder so which is great so that way it accommodates Higher Learning I usually like this I will say though that I just discovered sort of the Fatal flaw in this thing not fatal but it's a pain in the butt flaw which is that you have two distinct pieces of plastic here uh top and bottom and the treats get 100% stuck

18:13 in between these things so you wind up before you throw it in the dishwasher with a butter knife like trying to carve out the little pieces of treat it's a pain in the butt but it doesn't negate the fact that um these toys or things like them are amazing for you to have in your home I absolutely advocate for

18:31 puzzle toys like and not just one so get this one get a number of others as well and let your cats work for the food a little bit use their brains while they're using their mouths the boy in the room who likes food more than I do or anybody else Casper is going to demonstrate how to get toys out of here

18:48 and I guarantee you in record time because honestly I've never seen and really all respect to you a more treat motivated cat than than Casper so let's let's watch let's see solve the puzzle solve the puzzle there we go all right good boy now let's see if he finds the other one so this will keep him busy for

19:08 a treat motivated cat like Casper he's going to keep at it until he finds it good boy look at how smart you are everything that I just uh unboxed and reviewed with the exception of our friend the [Music] cat here um came in under 75 bucks for all that so no matter what my review was on these

19:34 things it doesn't matter these are all Investments that you make in your cat pom pom balls and little stuffed mice and Cat dancers and and you know all of those things there are investments in your cat variety is the spice of life like I said about the cat stages put it down pick it up after a little bit put

19:51 it in the closet bring it back out in a month and it's like oo it's a brand new thing um like I say about all toys don't make this one box with toys in it that sit around the house that your cats then can pick out if they want to and put back you do it pick it up after a while put it in a drawer then put it out later

20:08 on so there's that a little bit even with these sort of independent toys at least you've got like them looking to you for something and that is always worth something so anyway if you guys have a toy at home that you bought that uh you want me to review just let us know in the comments below and who knows

20:25 maybe I will actually go and do the same thing with the toy you want me to see and also don't forget that for all the best toys go to the Jackson Galaxy website because I actually do go through everything that's on there and say yeah we can carry that or no that collar with a laser on it is terrible and should be

20:45 burned you know so it is all either made by me or curated by me so go check that out and uh and like I said let us know what you think and uh if you want us to go back in Amazon and look at the next top 10 toys it ain't bad and now we're going to watch uh Casper reject all these toys and play in the

21:02 box and that's the bonus 75 bucks and it still comes with a box on top of all that on behalf of me and Oscar and Amazon who makes all the money all light and all love and all Mojo to you go play with your cat who's Oscar who's Oscar I say Oscar yeah who's Oscar so on behalf of me and

21:24 Casper and Amazon who makes all the money off this anyway and thank you for the box Amazon uh go play with your cat light loving Mojo to you guys and then I will just wait for them to show up and I'll show you what I got wa no I had to react to the doorbell first all right here we another potato chip

21:50 yeah meow
