Aunt Flow's newest line - CatPons! We've taken out the tampon guts and replaced them with high-grade catnip. When we say high-grade, we mean it. Aunt Flow gets her catnip from The Chronic Catnip Company, a U.S.A. business that grows organic, super-potent catnip plants. There is no finer catnip in the world. We will have personal endorsements from some of our test subjects as soon as they wake up. Price: $6.00 and shipping is always free! |

CatPons are coverd with colorful feathers, have googly eyes and we've re-attached the string so you can hang it from a stick and annoy your kitty even more. Feather colors are Aunt Flow's choice but if you want to include a message when you checkout you can let her know your favorite color(s) and if she has them in stock she'll be happy to oblige!

More (and better) pictures are coming soon. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Back to Top Do cats care what color feathers I choose? Cats can see almost as well as humans can, and at times better. Cat vision is designed for detecting motion, useful for hunting. Like humans, cats have binocular vision, although not as well tuned as in humans. This means a cat most likely sees in 3-D, as do humans, which is very useful for judging distance. Cats appear to be slightly nearsighted, which would suggest their vision is tailored more for closer objects, such as prey, that can capture within running distance. Objects farther than several hundred yards rarely interest a cat. Cats have the ability to jump from as much as 6 feet onto a narrow window ledge without touching the window. This feat would require not only excellent balance, but also precise distance judgment. Cats have both rods and cones in the retina. Rods are the receptors that the eye uses for night time viewing and sudden movement. Cones are used during the daytime, and process color information. Cats have more rods than cones, as compared with humans, making cat night and motion vision superior to humans. In low light, like night, color and hue are not perceived, only black, white and shades of gray. Cats have an elliptical pupil which opens and closes much faster than round types and allows for a much larger pupil size. This allows more light to enter the eye. Cats also have a mirror like membrane on the back of their eyes called a Tapetum. It reflects the light passing through the rods... back through the rods a second time, this time in the opposite direction. The result is a double exposure of the light, which permit cats to see well in near darkness. Although a cat cannot see in total darkness, a partly cloudy night sky with some stars will provide enough light for cats to hunt and see movement, even in the cover of most brush. At nigh, a cat relies on it's extremely sensitive hearing and directional ear movement to locate the general position of prey, then targets and captures the prey using it's keen eyesight. The yellowish glow you see when you shine a light into cat eyes at night, is really your light reflecting off the Tapetum membrane. (Courtesy http://videoforcats.com/catvision.htm)... Thanks!
