957.0. "MR. HAPPY MASSAGER " by SCASS1::WHITEA () Thu Dec 07 1995 09:15

    
    I found the neatest thing for kitties last night!  It's called a Happy
    Massager.  It's made completely out of wood, with one large ball that
    fits in the palm of your hand (that part has a little happy-face
    painted on it) and it has four smaller wooden balls attached to the
    bottom for "feet".  It's original purpose is to used as a "people"
    massager, but I thought that I'd try it on my kitties.  You should have
    seen the effect it had on Asia (who lives in a perpetual state of
    bitchiness)!  She has NEVER in the three years that I've had her
    allowed me to pet her anywhere other than between the ears, but last
    night, she couldn't get enough of Mr. Happy Massager!  She rolled over
    onto her back so that I could rub her tummy with it, and she just
    purred and drooled and kneaded to her little heart's content!  I've
    never seen her like that, and I can't wait to get home and try it on
    her some more.  There is a larger size that can be used by humans to
    massage larger areas (back, chest, legs, etc.) and a smaller one (for
    human hands and feet) that is the perfect size for kitties!  It'll make
    a perfect Christmas gift for felines and their humans alike!
    
    Try It!

    My troop responds similarly to the Zoom Groom.  The seem to love those
    rubbery fingers.  All I have to do is show Rocky the Zoom Groom and
    he's over on his back or prancing on his hind legs begging to be
    groomed.

    Be careful not to tear the hairs off kitty, hair can get into /rollup
    on the axis of the smaller balls (although I don't know the
    construction, I have a similar device with four wooden balls, they turn
    on small axes, and can wind up the hair)

    No, the four "feet" are glued on, they don't turn or move.
    
    

    BTW, you can find Mr Happy at Bath & Body Works.  Here in Nashua there
    is one in the Pheasant Lane Mall...

    I'm going to get a Mr. Happy.  All four of my babies just love to have
    their neck scratched.  Mello loves for me to scratch the end of her
    back just above her tail.  When I scratch her just right her tail forms
    into a question mark.
