Venkon - Electronic Stake Butterfly in Glass - Blue

I got this for the kittens to play with.

They like chasing flies, so I thought they might like it.

It is activated by touch - being hit/tapped. It isn't really affected by sound.
It takes three AAA batteries and they last a long time, which is nice.
It lights up when activated, which I would prefer it didn't, it makes it less natural.

The twins are curious about it, they like how it flutters, stops, then flutters again,

Phil is curious. 

They don't like it when they accidentally knock it while running around. 

Then it is scary.

Would I get it again if I went back in time? Probably not.

It's too spooky most of the time for my kittens XD

*Toy Idea: Save a piece of curling ribbon from a gift and tie it to a piece of furniture. My kittens think this is captivating.

Price: 2/5 ($29.70 for one)

Effectiveness as a cat toy: 2.5/5 (too scary)

Podcast Review - The Black Tapes Podcast

This creepy little fiction series came to my attention in October last year (Halloween-ish time) and was a delight to listen to.

Sit yourself in a dark room and let yourself get lost in the story of Alex and Dr Strand... then occasionally remind yourself it is fiction XP

Because it is fiction, I won't do into details (I hate spoilers!) but I will recommend you go and listen to it for yourself.

The only negative is how DAMN LONG it takes for new episodes! The wait between season 1 and season 2 was unbearable and I almost gave up on the story all together.

I can wait a long time if I just know the end date (and the people who produce this are not great at communicating with their fans).

Rating: 4.5/5
