I rarely buy toys for the boys. Catnip mice are the only store bought things they play with. The last impules purchase was a Petsmart watering dish, it has a small pump that sends water down a ramp. this has stopped Comet from splashing the water out of the water bowl. It also has a charcoal filter and they seem to drink more water now. The ball Gizmo is playing with bounced off the wall, hit him in the head and he will have nothing to do with anything that rolls.

Cats are like potato chips, you can't have just one!

I just purchased Halloween costumes for my 5 cats at Petsmart (ended up paying like 50 bucks!!!  ). I will probably only TRY to put them on them to TRY to take ONE picture and never use them again. That is why I hate going to Petsmart cuz I can never leave there without spending less than 50 bucks!!!

I always buy sparkle and crinkle balls and they get used.  My unused impulse buy was a crinkle tunnel that no cats use.  I thought because they love hiding in grocery bags, they would go for this, but no. Perhaps when it's cold and they cannot hang out in the backyard (fenced) they will get into it.

I went to Petsmart last night to get "calmative" for my 2 cats to help integrate them.

I saw a mouse shaped laser light that I purchased for under $5.00.  It was well worth

the cost.  My new kitty loved it & it is great exercise for her and pure enjoyment for me watching her antics.  She loves it!

Not exactly an "impulse" purchase - but we adopted Ginger from a shelter that uses PetSmart's space on weekends.  So then on her 3rd birthday earlier this year, we got a birthday card from PetSmart with a coupon in it for a free toy.  Found a rather realistic-looking brown mouse that was CFA-licensed - figured if the Cat Fanciers Association licensed it, it was probably a pretty good toy. 

Ginger loves that mouse and seems to understand that this is her toy.  It travels all over the house.  Harley also loves it and believes it must be hungry - I just had to remove it from their dry food bowl again!
