I used to have a blind senile cat who would wander around bumping into things like a roomba. I think even he would have been like “what the hell?” if he’d bumped into this.
This reminds me of the Batman character Two-Face and his decision-making coin. Just flip the toy in the air and see where it lands. If it lands on Side A you get adorable, talented, innocent young Michael and all is rainbows and sunshine. If it lands on Side B, you get the vacant, ghoulish man-wraith that is old Michael. And then the darkness descends.
Yay! I submitted this… I’m sure others did too. I loved that it worked in two categories. I’m not taking credit, just sayin’! Now I have to go buy one for my cat Iggy Pop to bat around the house.
i don’t know…this is kind of hilariously awesome. I would seriously buy this. I love MJ; my cat loves catnip toys like this – i see a win/win situation. plus an awesome “WTF?” for guests.
HelenKiller – you’re right though – it would be even better if the young side was darker. I think i might buy one and color it in.
most of the stuff in the seller’s shop is pretty cute: inexpensive catnip toys, simplistic felt cutouts of absurd household things that a cat might be seen playing with — i think she was fishing for a regretsy post, here. the shame. the horrible shame.
I actually just got 3 of this seller’s goldfish cat toys in the mail last week, and my cats love them. They pounced on them and rolled on them and dragged them around the house, and they are still dragging them around right now. Best cat toys I have bought in a long time and so good in fact that I am going to buy more.

The only cat that would play with this thing would be a blind cat. A very old, senile cat.
October 20, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Agreed. Mine would run away hissing and hide under the bed. I would probably join him.

Isn’t it ironic that much of Michael Jackson was not made of organic materials?
October 20, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I’m sure it was created to amuse us humans first. Love it! Amuses me probably more than any pet.
(That shops other pet toys are amazing. I hearted it.)

michael jackson and anything that has to do with a pussy anything?

Some of the felt ones are quite cute, but I do wonder why anyone would want a “Tiny Turdy” http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32341306 or the “Poopy Diaper” http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26708685
I can only imagine that someone said “You make really cute shit!” which prompted some sort of lightbulb moment.

Poopy diaper is very D:
October 20, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Animals think poop is pretty cool.

They could have chosen a better picture of Jacko than the mugshot. I think I would have gone with something from Thriller.

Speaking of darkness, I get the feeling no one is clicking that link.
October 20, 2009 at 6:53 pm
LOL One side should’ve been brown. ;>)
Love that shop!
October 20, 2009 at 8:24 pm
if i had a cat… he’d own this toy. It’s organic, for god’s sakes.
October 20, 2009 at 8:38 pm
if you’re going to post that one, you should definitely give this one a mention: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30872893
really? who would ever buy that for a cat?
October 20, 2009 at 10:43 pm
@#15 alyshafisha are we sure that’s what a dolphin penis looks like?
dear god, I am so happy I have fish… until, of course, someone makes a fish tank pirate chest that opens and a giant penis pops out…
October 20, 2009 at 11:18 pm
My cat would stick this in her litter box and run!
October 21, 2009 at 12:15 am
Oh, that’ll look spectacular covered in cat spit and fur.
October 21, 2009 at 1:14 am
i think the dolphin thing is even better!
“Everyone knows Dolphins get boners constantly.”

I had to look from the main pic to the link twice before I got it!

No, I actually had that saved to my computer way before I started the site. And I agree, that shop is wonderful.

Seriously? Michael Jackson was BLACK??!!
