1. Nothing is too good for our cats;
2. Most cat owners lean to the “geeky” side of products; and
3. Getting access to the latest technology in cat-related products is a MUST!
Social media is full of the latest gadgets, comfort essentials, and of course, toys. Cat Talk staffers have explored current offerings and share some of their more unique discoveries in this article. Unless specifically stated, we have not tested these products with our cats and do not necessarily endorse them purrsonally. (On the other hand, we would happily investigate furrther and engage in lab testing if any manufacturers wish to supply us with samples.) All prices were current at the time of writing.
But First, Playtime
We were intrigued by five high-tech toy picks deemed worthy of mention by online author Amy-Mae Elliott. Her number-one selection was the battery-operated FroliCat Sway and Twitch Automated Cat Toy, featuring a tantalizing interactive and programable bell, ball and feather. Its suction-cup base attaches to flat surfaces so you can set up a kitty play area practically anywhere in the house. Available on Amazon, it’s priced at only $14.00.
The toy selections also included the Hagen Catit Design Senses Play Circuit, which entices kitties with a ball in a semi-enclosed track. The ball can be maneuvered through and around the track, and extra tracks to lengthen the toy are available. The original version sells for $18.79 but a newer version is available for $12.99 on Amazon.

AVOIDING The Kitten Fear Period
Young kittens seem fearless.4 As soon as those eyes open and they can get their legs under them, they are off to see the world if their mama and humans let them.

No Kitten! Cats Are Part of the Military!
Felines have graced the decks of boats and ships back nearly to the beginning of time, roaming freely on passenger ships, war vessels, and merchant schooners, keeping vermin at bay.
Feline Summer Movie Fun!
School is almost OUT! Huzzah! But raindrops are plunking against the window, the amusement and water parks haven’t opened yet, camping is out, and roasted hot dogs and S’mores are another month away.

Genetic Pleiotropy and the Risks in Breeding Recessive Mutations
Nearly everyone loves what’s rare and unique. A slight defect in the minting process of a coin can create a demand and a value well beyond the face value of the coin. The coin is functionally no different than its perfectly minted counterpart, but its scarcity and uniqueness alone make it more desirable than the rest.
