Have fun with the Kittycobra

ZORRO : The nice Andreas from CAJ, an Austrian start-up, sent us a Kittycobra to test. What is it ?

The Kittycobra is a wand toy. It is well protected by a strong cardboard box. The assembly instructions are printed inside the lid : you just need to assemble the parts of the handle by screwing them, to fix the wrist-strap, and knot the string to the handle and to the feathers. It’s so well explained and so simple to do that even the most awkward human will succeed very easily !

The Kittycobra consists of following elements :

  • 1 stainless steel telescopic handle (57 to 125 cm – 22 to 49 in long)
  • 1 string adapter (up to 4 mm – 0.1 in diameter)
  • 1 wrist-strap
  • 2 strings (1 m – 3.2 ft each)
  • 3 feather preys

Accessories can be also bought separately if needed.

But why a wrist-strap ? The handle of the Kittycobra is strengthened and resists a 15 kg drive : it’s pretty heavy (approximately 120 g – 4.2 oz without the wrist-strap), it’s although the only point which a little disturbed our human. The wrist-strap allows to avoid leaving the toy during the game.

The Kittycobra is a strong toy I liked a lot :

Do you know Splat the cat ?

Do you know Splat the Cat ?
I would like to introduce you to Splat the cat : it’s the story which so much tempts me to go to school with Claire. And it’s the story she loves to tell her pupils the first school day.

The character of Splat was created by the Englishman Rob Scotton. He’s the hero of several children books.
Splat le chat
In his first story, Splat goes to school for the first time. He’s a little afraid, then to feel reassured, he takes his best friend, Seymour the pet mouse, with him.
Splat emmène Harry Souris avec lui.
But releasing a mouse in a cat school causes a certain agitation …
Tous les chatons courent après Harry.
What happened to Seymour ? Why is Splat delighted to go back to school the next day ?

To know that, read the book !
