Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Video Catnip -- DVD
Customer Review: So-So; Over-Priced
Summary: 3 Stars
Both of my 1-year-old cats were "glued" to this video the first time I played it, but then they lost interest. I put it away and got it out again about a week later, and they were again fascinated. One of my cats simply watched intently. The other watched, and jumped and pawed at screen. When a bird or squirrel suddenly went off-camera, she walked around the TV as if searching for it.
Because the cats quickly tire of it, I only play it for them once/week or so. I was really hoping for something that would hold their interest longer. Both of my cats are very playful and they love to "help" me when I'm working at home. I was hoping this video would serve as a distraction for them when I need to work undisturbed. But they tire of the video too quickly.
Both video and sound quality are poor, and my impression is that it is rather amateurish. The cats don't seem to mind, but I still think the quality should be better at this price point. Couple that with the $6.95 shipping fee, and I don't feel it the video is worth it.
If I had it to do over again, I would not buy this video.
Description of Video Catnip -- DVD
Video Catnip is a professionally videotaped and edited compilation of Birds, Squirrels, and Chipmunks designed to entertain cats. The Original Video Catnip is 25 minutes in length and has been the best selling pet video in the pet industry since its release in 1989. The DVD contains the Original Video Catnip and an additional 1 1/2 hour of footage for a total running time of approximately 2 hours. Shot in the highest quality video available and professionally manufactured and packaged, this is the video that started it all There are basically four parts to the Video Catnip DVD. The first short segment is a fast paced collection of critter antics set to a humorous "Keystone Cops" type of musical accompaniment which produces two separate effects, one of which is to entertain the human viewer and the other is to signal the kitty that his favorite show is starting. The second short segment is also a musical piece, but this time much slower. Its purpose is to give notice to the human viewer and the cat that the "kitty" portion of the show is about to begin. The third segment, (over 21 minutes of the 25 minute original production running time) is for cats only. The cats are exposed to some beautiful close-ups of most of the cast with many group shots included. The last segment, (1 1/2 hours), is the additional footage which is just for cats with more critter close ups and more natural birdie sounds. As far as the effectiveness of Video Catnip to entertain cats, its been on the market for almost 13 years and has been found to be effective on almost all indoor cats. Outdoor kitties don't seem to be as impressed. Although most indoor kitties will watch the entire 25 minute show the first time they see it, some cats (who have never watched TV before) might need a little encouragement from mommy or daddy by tapping lightly on the TV screen to get kitty's attention.Kitchen and Housewares
