Hartz Angry Birds Cat Toy Review and Giveaway

Giveaways· Cat Toys

1 Sep
Angry Birds Toys by Hartz

Hartz Angry Birds Toys are Bossy Backyard Blue Jay Approved!

The Tiniest Tiger Giveaway Winner ImageSuper Hurrah for Janet Vandenabeele the Winner of the Angry Birds Toys!

Happy September Friends! As a super exciting way to start the month, we  wanted to introduce to you, the all new, Hartz Angry Birds  cat toys!  This past weekend at blogpaws we had the opportunity to learn about these exciting new toys that will be available for the holidays.  Jennifer and Alex from Hartz invited  us  to learn about the fun new toys and they are so nice, they gave us a few toys so that we could share them with you! These toys will be heading to a retail shelve near you in October. But you can get a sneak preview right here with The Tiniest Tiger. Super Hurrah!

On the way home I thought who would be better to tell you about Angry Birds other than our very own angry bird, Bossy Backyard Blue Jay. After a close inspection of the Angry Birds toys, Bossy Backyard Blue Jay thinks they look like cats would have a lot of fun with them and that they would be a terrific distraction from messing with the bird population. Especially  the Catnip Heads. Most Cats will surely take a nice long nap after a round of play with these

nip infused toys.

Here is Bossy Backyard Blue Jay to tell you about the fun new toys and the giveaway.

Hartz Angry Birds, Birds Gone Crazy

Birds Gone Crazy

BIRDS GONE CRAZY are  sure to keep your little furry friend busy swatting, chasing and hunting. Modeled after  a traditional favorite toy, these Angry Birds characters complete with a bell inside will keep your cat from thinking about my feathered friends for hours on end.

CATNIP HEADS is a refillable toy. You choose your favorite cat nip, I recommend

Angry Birds Catnip Head

Catnip Heads

TipsyNip, then you stuff the nip into the Catnip Head and just like that instant distraction.  Your cat will pounce and play until they curl up and take a nice long nap. And aren’t cats really the cutest when they are sleeping?  Don’t tell Gracey that I said that.

Hartz Angry Birds Wand

Angry Birds Wand

ANGRY BIRDS WAND is an interactive toy that enables you humans to engage in play with your cat for hours of fun. Hours of fun! This is good for both you and the cat sharing your habitat and the birds that surround your habitat.  The Wand comes with two catnip refillable characters with feathers and a bell attached.

RUNNING BIRD stimulates your cats predatory instinct to hunt. Listen, we birds

Running Bird

Running Bird

know all about this instinct in your feline. That is why this might be my favorite toy but I don’t want to sway you.  The RUNNING BIRD toy shakes and vibrates across the floor when you pull its tail. This teasing makes it irresistible and your cat will surely pounce.  As an added attraction, this toy is catnip refillable too! Yes, your little loved ones will be hunting and playing and then yawning and napping.  Perfect just in time for the fall and winter bird feeder season.

Now you don’t have to take my word for it.  You might be finding your own Hartz Angry Birds cat toy in your mailbox very soon.  Here is all you have to do:

Leave a comment here, telling me:

1) Which bird is your favorite. You don’t have to say Blue Jays, but it wouldn’t hurt. ;)

2) Which Hartz Angry Birds Toy do you think your Cat would like best.

That’s it! Super Easy.

    1) Blu Jays obviously!!
    2) My cat would go crazy for Angry Birds Birds Gone Crazy! I can’t until I can buy her some and watch her chase them up and down our hallway!

  2. Denisergall says

    Red bird and the angry bird wand because Amber prefers a human attached to the end of her toys. She DEMANDS our attention!

    This is so awesome! I love angry birds and have my own stuffed versions which my cats constantly try to claim as their own. Now they can have their own angry bird toys! I love the angy bird wand and know my cats will flip over that as well. But I really think the running bird would be a huge hit with my kitties!!

  4. Eli says

    September 13, 2011 at 5:06 pm

    Id have to say my fav birds are cockatiels like my Rocky here (he’s watching what I answer from my shoulder) oh, and blue jays! He thinks these toys are a good idea cuz it’ll distract the cats from trying to play with him. Katy would prefer the catnip toys, Mia and Dirky don’t care about catnip, they’d prefer the wand or the Running Bird.

  5. Sugar Dial says

    September 9, 2011 at 8:14 pm

    My cat’s favorite bird to get upset at is the Imperial Blue Jay that uses our air conditioner as his perch!!  He gets so mad, he runs up to the window (after crossing the top of the TV, making it rock) and chatters right back at it! So, to distract him from it, I think the Running Bird would work best, and keep my TV safe!

  6. Sheryl Lynn says

    September 9, 2011 at 1:31 pm

    My favorite birds are pigeons! They are so cute and gentle and smart. My least favorite birds are the crows and blackbirds that keep eating the food I put out for the feral cats at work. 

    My Romeo and Juliet at home could probably share the Angry Birds wand, even though Juliet would hog it!

  7. Heather says

    September 9, 2011 at 3:41 am

    Hummingbirds are my favorite bird and i think  my cats would love the Birds Gone Crazy 🙂

  8. Brooke Johnson says

    September 9, 2011 at 1:47 am

    Black birds and blue jays. 😉

    It’s hard to pick which would be my cats’ favorite! I have three that live inside, but I feed a feral colony, and they love toys, too. 😛 Probably the Birds Gone Crazy, or the Running Bird. The mother in the feral colony loves things that make noise! ?

  9. Chuck Howell says

    September 9, 2011 at 1:41 am

    Blue Heron are my favorite birds, both beautiful and graceful. My kitties would love the Angry Birds Wand!

  11. Preciousfelines says

    my kitties love blue jays,they would like the catnip heads,they are very active and love cat nip,it calms them and they would love to chase it and bat it around.win win to me,i throw and they fetch.i have 2 who bring it to me to throw it.

  12. Lisa Beth Huston says

    September 9, 2011 at 12:21 am

    We have a bossy parakeet, but outside I have noticed a lot of yellow finches. I just love how they zoom around. As for Angry Birds, I think my Ellie would like the wand most. She is one of the few cats who isn’t really affected by catnip.

  13. Shay26m says

    September 9, 2011 at 12:20 am

    Bluejays have to be our favorite but pepper would love birds gone crazy. Number 1 they are her favorite toy colors Red and green plus they look like good swatting toys.

  14. Heather says

    September 9, 2011 at 12:11 am

    My favorite angry bird is the Blue Jay too Gracey. I know Whiskers will love the Catnip Heads toy. He’s gaga for catnip!

  15. Jadestar5425 says

    September 9, 2011 at 12:11 am

    Mi Cat Princes would really like the Birds gone crazy and I like all birds but the eagle is my favorite.

  16. Paula Caudill says

    September 6, 2011 at 4:03 am

    My cat Rosie would love the Birds Gone Crazy the best, she is so active and she would love chasing and catching these.

  17. Paula Caudill says

    September 6, 2011 at 4:01 am

    Blue Jays and Robins are my favorites, because Blue Jays are mean looking, but beautiful. And Robins are early birds, like me and they are really smart.

  18. Joyce says

    September 6, 2011 at 1:35 am

    I actually have a hard time liking anything from Hartz after their whole lethal flea product issues that they let go on for years. Sorry to be a downer – but I just can’t in good conscience support that company ever again. 🙁

  19. Nadine Subscriptions says

    September 5, 2011 at 10:23 pm

    My favorite bird is the Blue Jay and the Angry Bird Toy that my cat would love is Catnip Heads!

  20. Chloe Fernandez says

    September 5, 2011 at 10:05 pm

    Hi there! 🙂

    My favorite is the black bomb bird because the cause such a ruckus! Hehehe! They’re fun to toss! The blue jays are neat, too thought 😉

    My sweet cat would love the catnip angry bird head! He is in my ear telling me it would make his whole week!

  21. Redshedragon says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:55 pm

    1) I actually do NOT have a favorite bird because I LOVE THEM ALL!!! YOU2 BLUEJAY!!! That’s why MY cats are INside cats…so they can watch but not harm their feathered friends! 

    2) I believe that my 4 cats would like the Angry Birds Wand because they enjoy playing with me as well as chasing toys….they get to chase something..I get to interact with them….its a win-win!!

  22. Rita from Ottawa says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:47 pm

    I would have to say our favourite bird is the Cardinal. We’ve had a family of them here this summer, and Mr. C likes to yell at Maggie Tabby. I think Maggie Tabby would love a Refillable Head (especially the one that resembles her favourite bird, but she’s not fussy!)

  23. Tawny Müller says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:38 pm

    Super cute! 1)I like the black bird best. 2)I think my kitties would like the catnip heads!

  24. Shellee576 says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:17 pm

    my absolute favorite bird is a cardinal, but my brother loves blue jays-his middle name is jay.  I think my cat would best enjoy the birds gone crazy-she loves her balls with the bells in them, and her feather mice so those seem like somewhere in between.

  25. Carolyn Schellhardt says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    My favorite bird, after the Blue Jay of course, is the American Eagle.  They are so majestic!!!!!  And a proud symbol of our country.  If I would be lucky enough to win, I’d like the wand!  My Cali is getting on in years and needs more exercise.  Since I can’t order her to do anything (big surprise!), the wand would give me the chance to stimulate her to move about a bit!!!

  26. Colin McConnell says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    I always like to see the male & female cardinal that visit our yard. We didn’t have them up in Alaska!
    Our cats would enjoy the catnip heads as well. They love to hold their toys in their front paws and “rabbit-kick” with their back feet!

  27. Willow1210 says

    September 5, 2011 at 7:04 pm

    My fur babies would love the running bird almost as much as we all love to watch humming birds

  28. pannebyron1 says

    September 5, 2011 at 6:57 pm

    Love these toys!!!!! The BlueJay IS my favorite – with the Cardinal just behind!  And Oliver would LOVE the angry Cardinal while Lucy is more the Running Bird toy type….

    Crossing my fingers and my two are crossing their toes!

    1) Blue Jay! Yay!
    2) Angry Birds Wand I’m sure they will love it!

  30. Marysa says

    September 4, 2011 at 4:00 pm

    I think my cat would love the catnip heads!  The catnip, plus the round shape would be great for ‘tossing’ and batting.

    This summer, we have been entertained by a cat bird that visits the bird bath all the time!  We also get some really pretty yellow birds (American Goldfinches I believe), which I love too!

    Well, Gracey, I am very partial to the Robin, because I raised one who had fallen out of a huge oak, and was abandoned by his parents.  He hardly had any fuzz yet 🙂  I had  “Peepers” for 6 weeks, before releasing him into the wild again. 
    I think Maggie might like the catnip heads.  Although she is almost 15 now, she still loves to play. 🙂  (Nice of BBB Jay to help you today)

  33. Lilliebette says

    September 3, 2011 at 5:31 pm

    I love blue macaws. They are so beautiful and bright.

    The Birds gone crazy is purrrfect for our cat. They love anything they can chase and leave around the house.

  34. Rumpydog says

    September 3, 2011 at 10:43 am

    I think they look good enough to eat!

  35. Nancy Foulke says

    September 3, 2011 at 3:18 am

    Fizzy and Cheetah would definitely like the Angry Birds wands the most. They love the toys on the wands and the really love catnip.  Although Cheetah would like to play with a blue jay too! 

  36. Heather Marthaler-Cypher says

    September 2, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    My nine kitties and I enjoy all birds, but especially the cardinals and bluejays that frequent the feeders in the yard!!!  The kitties spend a lot of time watching the bluejays swoop in for the peanuts left there as well!!!  Does Bossy Backyard Bluejay get peanut treats??!!  🙂  And these kitties would be quite happy with any of the new Hartz Angry Bird toys!!!!  Good day Gracey and friends!

  37. Robin Ross says

    September 2, 2011 at 8:29 pm

    Rafa and Roger’s favorite bird is the ROBIN!  They would be happy with any of the toys, but they would especially love the wand or birds gone crazy!

    We got our pack at BlogPaws too and they are a hit!!  My husband, however, is not a fan of the little jingle ball birdies being batted around in the middle of the night!  The cats loooooove all the toys 🙂

  42. Jessica Sweitzer says

    September 2, 2011 at 2:29 am

    Favorite birds are Cardinals. I think my foster kitten Donut would love the Running Bird toy and I know my personal cat, Solo, would love the Catnip Heads. He goes crazy for catnip! 🙂

  43. Malia Ragan says

    September 2, 2011 at 1:00 am

    Ooops, Gracey, Smoki forgot to tell you her favorite bird…not the blue jay as they chase and peck her when she goes outside. Smoki and I like morning doves.  They visit us every day and we love to listen to their cooing.

    Favorite bird = Eagles/Hawks (too close to call)…*gets a sunflower seed thrown at her* I mean bluejays!

    Toy – Catnip heads!

  48. Dee DeSantis says

    September 1, 2011 at 8:18 pm

    I’m not at home now so I was not able to consult with the boys. I think Mr. Jingles and Tony Cat would like the CatNip Heads and for little Cheeze, Birds Gone Crazy. They really look like great toys and Angry Birds is such an addictive game. As for a favorite bird, Mr. Jingles is an avid birdwatcher; we have a huge oak tree in front of our apartment and see bluejays, robins, sparrows and occasionally a cardinal. I don’t know if Mr. J has a real preference. 😉  I have a soft-spot for Canadian Geese 🙂 Thanks for letting us know about these super toys Gracey – looking forward to buying them for my boys when they’re in stores.

  49. Malia Ragan says

    September 1, 2011 at 7:29 pm

    Well, I just discussed it with Smoki and she told me that the Birds Gone Crazy toy and Angry Bird Wand are both not age appropriate for her… don’t they grow up fast.  She said she has been there, done that, but she thinks it is so sweet of you to share your bounty with all.  However, she is super excited about the Running Bird toy…said it looks like it is super cool and would really be fun to play with.  Plus, because she’s always thinking of my needs, as well, she thinks this is something we could enjoy togethr.  So, her vote is for Running Bird!

  50. Elizabeth Flynn says

    September 1, 2011 at 7:17 pm

     Hi Gracey, Well of course, Blue Jays are my favorite. They are so beautiful:).  
    I like all of these *Angry Birds*, but I think the kittehs would like the *running bird* best. They really like to RUN 🙂

  51. Adrienne H Ezell says

    September 1, 2011 at 5:44 pm

    I love the fat birds that shoot out the eggs in the game, RL it’s the mocking bird for its beautiful calls.  My baby Ella would love the refillable catnip head!

  52. Colleen Balistrieri says

    September 1, 2011 at 5:22 pm

    It’s almost impossible to chose only one favorite bird, but I guess I would have to say a humming bird. They are so fascinating to watch!

    Our three cats have different personalities when playing: Aries would love the jingly Birds Gone Crazy, Anubis would go crazy and bunny-kick the Catnip Heads, and Checkers would enjoy chasing the AB Wand.

  53. Heather says

    September 1, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    Hi Gracey,
    my favourite bird is really a Jay. We don’t have Blue Jays in my area, but we have 3 Stellar Jays that regularly visit our habitat. They like to sit on the fence, especially when Shadow and Bella are at the window.

    Shadow and Bella would like the Birds Gone Crazy best because they like to swat balls down the hallway and then chase after them.

  54. Lana Morley says

    September 1, 2011 at 5:04 pm

    My Favorite bird is the Cardinal but I do love Blue jays too. In the game I like the red birds! 😛 My Kitty cat would love Birds gone crazy because she love things that rattle and make lots of noise and move around! 

  55. Armildamorley says

    September 1, 2011 at 5:02 pm

    My favorite bird is a snow bird.  My kitty would love the Angry bird wand.

    September 1, 2011 at 3:07 pm

    My favorite bird is the hummingbird, all my furbabies love watching them at their feeders outside our windows, the birds are curious about them too.  In the game, Angry Birds, I love the speedy yellow birds:)
    My cats would love the Angry Birds Wand

  65. Barbara McIntosh says

    September 1, 2011 at 2:35 pm

    My favorite bird is the Goldfinch.  They are so beautiful and have really been enjoying our yard this summer.  We have 3 finch feeders, a regular bird feeder, and two birdbaths.  The Goldfinches use our birdbaths all the time to my delight since they are very visible on my patio. My 3 cats love them too.  Hummingbirds are a close second.  We enjoy seeing them at our hummingbird feeder. 
    I believe that my new 6-month old adoptee, Oliver, would love the Running Bird toy.  he loves things that he can run after.

    Gracey, you and BBBJ, have made my day. Here are the favorites for me and the Tux.

    1. Favorite bird: A certain blue jay who shall be nameless.

    2. Favorite Angry Birds Toy the Tux likes: Catnip head, which, the Tux emphasizes, is not a statement about her.

  68. Heidi P-O says

    September 1, 2011 at 2:25 pm

    I’m a penguins fan, actually! Although here we’ve got wild turkeys that make my three kitties go nutsy koo-koo when they come into the back yard.

    Oh and since I’m originally from Ohio, I guess I should say Cardinals are my favorite bird too. 🙂

  69. Janet Vandenabeele says

    September 1, 2011 at 2:15 pm

    My favorites are Red-winged Blackbirds (though I am also fond of Goldfinches … they eat upside down!) because of their gorgeous coloring and because their name sounds like the Detroit Red Wings! I think my cats would like the Angry Birds catnip head. We have tons of wands, and the Birds Gone Crazy would be Birds Gone Under Couch in about 5 minutes. 😉 

  70. Ivy Barger says

    September 1, 2011 at 2:11 pm

    Of course bluejays are my favorite. Why wouldn’t they be? I think my cat would LOVE the Angry Birds Wand.

  71. Hope Yates says

    September 1, 2011 at 2:10 pm

    I hope this isn’t going to insult anyone but I love Cockatiels.I know they are pets,but they are so much fun to have around.I love to hear them whistle a tune! Mongkut would love the catnip heads. I would love them to because catnip mellows him out and makes him more affectionate.
