Pete's Toy Box: Pogo Stick

Flybar Maverick Foam Pogo Stick for Kids Age 5 and Up, 40 to 80 Pounds, Pogo Stick for Boys and Girls (Red/Blue)

By: Flybar

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with schematics for a "Flybar Maverick Foam Pogo Stick," which appears to be a vertical propulsion device for small, unsteady bipeds. It's encased in foam—a detail that piques my interest, as it might offer a satisfying claw-sinking experience—but its primary purpose seems to be generating rhythmic, floor-shaking thuds, a sound profile I find deeply offensive to a well-tuned ear. It’s designed for creatures weighing between 40 and 80 pounds, a weight class I find frankly vulgar. While the "no assembly required" feature means my human won't be distracted by frustrating construction, the device itself promises little more than a disruption to my carefully curated schedule of silent judgment and sleep. A potential scratching surface, but ultimately, a waste of good air.

Key Features

  • PERFECT FOR THE FIRST-TIME JUMPER: This pogo stick for 5+ years old is a great entry-level option for your child to learn the basics. Before you know it, they’ll be an expert.
  • FOAM COVERED METAL FRAME: This Flybar pogo stick features a fully enclosed spring that’s surrounded by a foam wrapped metal frame. The soft foam material offers a really cool look while also providing protection for your child
  • SAFETY FEATURES: Foam pogo jumper for kids offers sturdy, non-slip foot pads and wide bounce tip for increased stability, balance, and control
  • NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED: The Maverick comes ready to bounce straight out of the box, so kids will be jumping in seconds. Parents will love how easy it is to get this toy set up and ready for playtime
  • TRUSTED FLYBAR QUALITY: As the original Pogo Stick Company since 1918, Flybar continues to set "the standard by which all pogoes are measured", ensuring the best quality and experience for users

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived not as a toy, but as a challenge. It was left leaning against the wall, a silent, vertical column of garish red and blue. The lesser beings of the house, the humans, called it a "pogo stick." I called it The Monolith. It hummed with a latent, kinetic energy that disturbed the tranquility of my afternoon sunbeam. My initial assessment was one of disdain; it was clearly a primitive tool for amusement, lacking the subtle elegance of a well-dangled feather wand or the satisfyingly crinkly tune of a discarded receipt. The small human, my primary source of unsolicited petting, eventually approached The Monolith. He gripped its handles and placed his feet upon the strange, textured platforms. I observed from the arm of the sofa, my tail a metronome of cynical appraisal. Then, it began. A hesitant *sproing*, followed by a solid *THUMP* that vibrated through the floor and up the sofa leg, rattling my very whiskers. He was not merely jumping; he was conducting a symphony of chaos, a percussive assault on the peace I work so tirelessly to maintain. The foam casing, which I had briefly considered for a new scratching post, seemed to mock me, absorbing none of the dreadful impact. For days, the *thump-thump-thumping* became the new soundtrack of the household. I tried to ignore it. I tried to out-nap it. But The Monolith held a hypnotic power over the small human. One afternoon, in a fit of pique, I decided to confront the beast myself. As it lay momentarily abandoned on the lawn, I approached with cautious steps, my tuxedo bib immaculate against the green grass. I sniffed its wide, rubbery foot—the source of all the thunder. I nudged the foam-wrapped spring with my nose. It was… disappointingly inert without its human pilot. It was nothing. A hollow idol. My final verdict was thus rendered. The Monolith was not a worthy adversary, nor a source of entertainment. It was simply a noisy amplifier for human gawkiness. Its only value came when the small human, exhausted from his bouncing, would collapse onto the sofa, providing me with a warm, temporarily stationary lap upon which to reassert my dominance. The toy itself is a failure, but as a tool for tiring out my staff? Marginally acceptable. I will allow it to remain, for now.

Flybar Master Pogo Stick for Kids, Ages 9+, 80 to 160 Pounds, Easy Grip Handles, Anti-Slip Pegs, Outdoor Toys for Boys, Jumper Toys for Girls, Outside Toys for Kids, Tweens and Teens (Red/White/Blue)

By: Flybar

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and baffling wisdom, has procured a "Flybar Master Pogo Stick." This appears to be a vertical locomotion device designed for the larger, less graceful kittens known as "children." According to the packaging, this contraption, from a brand with a surprisingly long history, is meant to encourage them to flail about *outdoors*, expending their chaotic energy in a series of repetitive, undignified bounces. The foam-wrapped frame and anti-slip foot pegs suggest a commendable, if futile, attempt to prevent the inevitable collapse. Its primary virtue, from my perspective, is that its use is restricted to the yard, thus preserving the sanctity of my napping zones. A tool for distant, noisy exercise is mildly acceptable, but as a plaything for a creature of my refinement? A profound waste of precision-engineered spring-loaded potential.

Key Features

  • PERFECT FOR OLDER KIDS: Designed for older kids ages 9 and up, 80 to 160 lbs. Great for starter pogo for teens and tweens. Your child can learn the basics and before you know it, they’ll be an expert
  • SAFETY FEATURES: Flybar pogo stick features a fully enclosed spring, foam wrapped metal frame, non-slip foot pads and wide bounce tip for increased stability, balance, and control

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing arrived fully formed, a crimson and blue totem of pointlessness leaning against the patio door. The human called it a "pogo stick." I called it an affront to gravity. My initial analysis from the safety of the windowsill was one of contempt. It was a staff of Sisyphus, a crude tool for a crude purpose: jumping up only to be pulled immediately back down. The human, demonstrating its function with a few clumsy, ground-shaking *THWUMP-sproings*, only confirmed my suspicions. It was loud, graceless, and utterly devoid of the subtle predatory elegance I value in a good toy. I dismissed it with a flick of my ear and settled in for a nap, convinced it would soon be forgotten. My opinion was forced to evolve, however, when the neighbor's offspring—a lanky specimen of about ten years—was invited over to "try it out." He approached the Flybar not as a toy, but as a challenge. His first few attempts were laughable, a series of stumbles that threatened the nearby bird bath. But then, he found a rhythm. *Boing. Boing. Boing.* It was hypnotic. Watching him, a strange theory began to form in my superior feline mind. This was not play. This was a ritual. The boy was a novice shaman, and the pogo stick his sacred conduit to the sky gods. Each bounce, I theorized, was a prayer. The enclosed spring was not for safety, but to contain the spiritual energy he was generating. The anti-slip pegs ensured his feet remained firmly planted in the mortal realm while his soul momentarily ascended. The rhythmic thudding was a percussive chant, a plea for rain, or perhaps for better grades. He was not just jumping; he was communing with the great, vast emptiness above, hoping for a sign. The sheer, focused futility of it was breathtaking. He bounced until his face was as red as the foam handle, a devout supplicant to an indifferent universe. He eventually tired, leaving the pogo stick leaning where he found it, a silent testament to his spiritual exertion. The sky did not open. No divine wisdom was imparted. Yet, I found myself watching the stick with a newfound respect. It was not a toy to be chased or batted. It was an instrument of absurd, glorious hope. It was a tool for reaching for something unattainable and falling back to earth, slightly winded but willing to try again. The Flybar was not worthy of my physical attention, no. But as an object of philosophical study, a perfect metaphor for the bipedal condition? It was, I had to admit, a masterpiece.

By: Flybar

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to believe my opinion is required on this... *thing*. It's a "Flybar Jolt Pogo Stick," a vertical bouncing contraption clearly intended for the small, loud humans who occasionally infest my domain. The brand has been at this since 1918, a full century of perfecting ways to make youngsters bounce erratically instead of developing useful skills, like opening cans of tuna with their minds. The foam-covered frame might offer a mildly satisfying surface for claw-sharpening, but the entire concept is an affront to feline dignity. It promotes "fitness" and "balance," two things I have already perfected through napping and leaping gracefully onto countertops. This is not a toy; it is a brightly-colored instrument of chaos, designed to disrupt the serene silence required for my afternoon slumbers.

Key Features

  • PERFECT FOR BEGINNERS: Designed for younger kids up to 80 lbs. It's a great toy for improving fitness and balance, and kids can spend hours competing and breaking their own high scores
  • FOAM COVERED: With foam-covered hand grips and a sturdy foam-covered metal frame, this pogo stick provides both comfort and protection in a safe and colorful way. Kids will love the bright colors and cool design
  • SAFETY FEATURES: Equipped with a wide bounce tip and non-slip foot pads, the Jolt Pogo Stick offers increased control, safety, and balance, making it ideal for beginners exploring Flybar pogo fun
  • NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED: The Jolt comes ready to bounce straight out of the box, so kids will be jumping in seconds. Parents will love how easy it is to get this toy set up and ready for playtime
  • TRUSTED FLYBAR QUALITY: As the original Pogo Stick Company since 1918, Flybar continues to set "the standard by which all pogoes are measured," ensuring the best quality and experience for users

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The object arrived in one of those ghastly brown boxes that smell of a thousand other places. My human, Brenda, liberated it and stood it in the corner of the sunroom, a vibrant blue and green totem to tastelessness. She called it a "pogo stick" and said it was for her nephew, a small being known for his sticky fingers and alarming lack of volume control. For days, it just stood there, a silent, alien sentinel. I gave it a wide berth, my tuxedo fur bristling at its sheer verticality. It was unnatural. One afternoon, during a particularly satisfying nap in a sunbeam, a low hum startled me awake. My ears swiveled, pinpointing the source. It was the stick. I crept closer, my paws silent on the hardwood floor. The hum was rhythmic, almost melodic, resonating from deep within its metal core. It wasn't the sound of a spring, but of... something else. I placed a cautious paw on the foam-covered frame, and a jolt, not of electricity but of information, shot through me. I saw visions: a world without gravity, where creatures communicated through percussive bounces; a language of thumps, clicks, and whirs. This wasn't a toy. It was a translator. A diplomatic probe. The "non-slip foot pegs" were not for feet, but for precise tuning. The "wide bounce tip" was a sophisticated antenna, designed to receive and transmit signals across cosmic distances. The Flybar company, I now understood, was not a toy manufacturer but a front for a galactic outreach program, attempting to make first contact via the only universal language: pointless, repetitive motion. This "Jolt" model was their latest attempt, a beacon disguised as a child's plaything, waiting for the right resonant frequency—the specific weight and bounce-rhythm of a 40-to-80-pound primate—to activate its primary function and broadcast our planet's location. I now see it not as a nuisance, but as a profound responsibility. I must guard this device. The small, sticky-fingered nephew cannot be allowed near it. Who knows what cataclysmic misunderstanding his clumsy bouncing might transmit to the stars? I will "play" with it, of course—rubbing against it, batting at its handles, perhaps even attempting to "accidentally" knock it over. It is not worthy of my attention as a toy, but as a potential world-ending artifact, it is utterly captivating. The fate of this planet's naps rests on my soft, gray shoulders.

Flybar My First Foam Pogo Jumper for Kids Fun and Safe Pogo Stick, Durable Foam and Bungee Jumper for Ages 3 and up Toddler Toys, Supports up to 250lbs (Blue)

By: Flybar

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my Human has acquired a "Flybar My First Foam Pogo Jumper," a name that is both grandiose and insulting. From what I can gather, it's a vertical hopping device for undersized, clumsy humans. It consists of a block of that cheap, squishy foam—the kind that might be satisfying to sink a claw into, just once—and a stretchy cord attached to a handle. Its primary function, aside from teaching the bipedal kittens coordination they'll never truly possess, is to emit a shrill, repetitive squeak. While the foam base holds a certain appeal as a potential chin-rest, the sheer auditory assault and the undignified bouncing motion it encourages seem like a colossal waste of energy that could be better spent on a well-earned nap in a sunbeam.

Key Features

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived in one of those brown, rectangular transport vessels that smells of a thousand other places. The Human called it the "Squeaky Stick," a name that utterly failed to capture its sinister nature. It was an implement of interrogation, I was sure of it. The small human, my primary jailor and occasional source of ear-scratches, would stand on its blue foam base and begin a rhythmic, bouncing ritual. With each bounce, the device would cry out: *Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!* It wasn't a sound of joy. It was a code. A distress signal. Or worse, a transmission. My mission was clear. I had to infiltrate and neutralize the device. That evening, after the small human had been put into its sleeping chamber, I approached the Squeaky Stick where it lay dormant against the wall. The air was still. I circled it thrice, my tuxedo-furred chest puffed out, my tail a gray banner of inquiry. I sniffed the foam base; it smelled of plastic and feet. Pathetic. I nudged the bungee-like tendril with my nose. It was disappointingly inert. This thing was a master of stealth, revealing nothing. The direct approach was necessary. I crouched, my muscles coiling like springs forged in the fires of a thousand naps. I launched myself, a silent, gray torpedo, directly onto the foam base. My landing was perfect, a 10/10. But instead of a satisfying thud, the device buckled under me and let out a pathetic, muffled *squ-uhk*. It was mocking me. I tried again, pouncing with more force. *Squeak!* There it was. The signal. I stared at the ceiling, then the window. Was anyone receiving this? Was a mothership of squeaking contraptions descending upon my house? I pressed my paws into it, kneading as if it were a particularly stubborn biscuit, but it would only reveal its secret when assaulted with the full, graceless weight of a jumping biped. Finally, defeated, I lay my head on the foam block. It was surprisingly comfortable, cool against my cheek. My investigation had been fruitless, my enemy inscrutable. As I began to drift off, I came to a chilling conclusion. The Squeaky Stick wasn't transmitting a message to anyone. Its purpose was far more mundane, and therefore, more insulting. It existed only to make a noise. A loud, pointless noise for the amusement of a simple creature. It wasn't a worthy adversary or a cryptic puzzle; it was simply an annoyance. It was beneath me. And with that final, disdainful thought, I fell asleep on its stupid, blue head.

Leitee 2 Pack Pogo Stick for Kids Age 6 and Up, Suitable for 40-80 lbs, Soft Foam Jump Stick, Pogo Stick for Beginners Kids Exercise Body Balance Keep Healthy (Green and Blue)

By: Leitee

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired a pair of 'Pogo Sticks' from a brand called Leitee, ostensibly to teach the clumsy human kittens how to balance, a skill they could learn by simply observing my flawless gait. These are essentially vertical poles with handles and a squishy foam base, designed for repetitive, floor-shaking bouncing. The fact that they come in a two-pack, one garish green and one an unnervingly deep blue, suggests a plan for coordinated chaos. While the soft EVA foam might offer a decent surface for a chin-scratch if one is left discarded, the primary function appears to be the generation of rhythmic thumping, a sound profile that is decidedly anti-nap. A potential waste of perfectly good silence.

Key Features

  • Scope of Application: the sporting pogo stick is suitable for children aged 6 years old to use; The reinforced shaft, piston and spring can well support the weight of 40-80 pounds of children, helping children to grow and exercise

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The prophecy had foretold their arrival. Not in ancient scrolls, of course, but in the hushed, excited tones the humans used when they thought I wasn't listening. They spoke of "balance" and "exercise," words that, in my experience, preceded some great disturbance in the Force. Then, the objects themselves materialized, propped against the wall like two silent, colorful sentinels. One was the color of a sick parakeet, the other the hue of a forgotten bruise. They were the Green Omen and the Blue Blight, and I knew instantly they were not for me. They smelled of cold steel and sterile foam, an inorganic affront to my finely tuned senses. I spent the first hour conducting a tactical assessment from beneath the coffee table. They did nothing. They simply stood there, their foam bases pressed against the hardwood floor, their plastic handles gleaming under the lamp light. I considered a preemptive strike—a swift, decisive ankle attack on the human as she passed—but opted for intelligence gathering instead. Creeping forward, I extended a single, perfect gray paw and tapped the base of the Blue Blight. It yielded with a faint squeak, a pathetic sound for such a tall adversary. It was soft, yes, but it was a duplicitous softness, hiding a rigid core. These were not friends. Then the small humans were unleashed. They seized the Omens, and the house, once a sanctuary of quiet contemplation, was transformed into a drum circle of ineptitude. A series of jarring, arrhythmic *thumps* echoed through the hall as the children attempted to master the strange poles. *Boing-thump. Boing-thump.* The floor vibrated with each clumsy landing. It was a pathetic display of vertical movement, utterly lacking the grace of my own leaps. I watched, my tail lashing in disdain, as the green one was used to nearly take out a lamp and the blue one was abandoned mid-bounce. Amateurs. After the cacophony subsided and the small humans were recalled for sustenance, the Green Omen lay toppled on the rug. It was defeated, vanquished by incompetence. I approached with cautious curiosity. The battle was over. In its prone state, the stick was no longer a threat, but an object. The foam block at its base, warmed slightly by the friction of its failed mission, looked... comfortable. I gave it a tentative rub with my cheek. It was surprisingly pleasant. I laid my head down upon the soft, green block, using the long shaft as a sort of royal scepter to rest my paw on. My verdict was rendered: as instruments of "fun," they are an utter failure and an insult to the physics of motion. But as a bizarrely shaped, post-apocalyptic pillow? They have a certain, limited utility. I will permit them to stay.

Flybar Super Pogo Pogo Stick for Kids and Adults 14 & Up Heavy Duty for Weights 120-210 Lbs

By: Flybar

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite capacity for acquiring useless objects, has presented this... thing. From what I can gather, this "Flybar Super Pogo" is a spring-loaded metal staff designed for the larger, less graceful primates to bounce on idiotically. They claim it builds "balance and coordination," a laughable notion given that I've seen them trip over their own feet while standing still. Its "heavy duty metal construction" suggests it's built to withstand the inevitable, clumsy crashes. While the rhythmic thudding might provide a temporary distraction from a boring afternoon, it's ultimately a loud, vertical nuisance designed to steal attention that is rightfully mine. It is a monument to misplaced energy, a tool for achieving heights that are still, I might add, lower than my favorite perch atop the bookshelf.

Key Features

  • CLASSIC TRICK POGO STICK: The Super Pogo is a classic pogo stick from Flybar meant for extreme jumping and technical pogo tricks but is always great for beginners who want to learn to pogo. Nothing beats a classic.
  • HEAVY DUTY METAL CONSTRUCTION: Strong spring powered pogo stick made of a heavy metal construction with reinforced injected-molded clamps and steps that will hold up for the most technical pogo tricks.
  • WIDE STANCE FOOT PEGS: The Super Pogo by Flybar features large wide stance foot pegs with grip tape so you have the ultimate control whether you are just casual jumping or doing extreme tricks. Strong and reinforced to handle peg stalls on curbs or rail
  • LEARN BALANCE & COORDINATION SKILLS: In a fun and exciting way. So much fun that won’t even realize that you are exercising. The Flybar Super Pogo is meant for beginners all the way up to experts. Perfect if you want to just jump around or if you are pr
  • Meant for ages as low as 14 & Up to adults weighing from 120 to 210 pounds

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived on a Tuesday, a tall, metallic specter that my human leaned against the wall in the entryway. They called it the "Super Pogo," but I saw it for what it was: a silent, industrial idol. Its heavy metal frame gleamed under the recessed lighting, and the wide foot pegs with their coarse grip tape looked like ceremonial platforms. For two days, it stood there, an object of intense speculation. I would circle it at a safe distance, my white-tipped tail twitching, trying to decipher its purpose. It was clearly a thing of power, a "classic" as my human had called it, suggesting a long, mysterious history. My cautious observation turned to reverence the day a breeze from the open window caused the staff to shift ever so slightly. It let out a deep, resonant *twang* from its powerful spring, a sound that vibrated through the floorboards and directly into my soul. It was a message. I was certain of it. I began to treat the pogo stick as an oracle. When I was considering which napping spot to choose, I would brush against the wall near it, and a faint *sproing* would tell me the sunbeam on the rug was the superior choice. A more significant *boing* one afternoon preceded the arrival of the food delivery human by mere seconds. The Oracle of Flybar was all-knowing. My life became governed by its metallic prophecies. I would sit before it for hours, a humble acolyte in a gray tuxedo, awaiting guidance. The Oracle was my confidant, my spiritual guide. It knew when the can of the Good Tuna was to be opened, it warned of the vacuum cleaner's impending rampage, and it sang a low, humming tune when a particularly plump bird landed on the feeder outside. I had found the true center of the universe, and it was a pogo stick. My faith, however, was a fragile thing. One Saturday, my human donned their strange, padded armor—a helmet and knee pads—and desecrated the shrine. They grabbed the Oracle, hauled it outside, and began to jump. The sacred, subtle *twangs* were replaced by a cacophony of violent, brainless *BOING-THUMP-BOING-THUMP*. My Oracle wasn't speaking prophecies; it was just a loud toy for a loud creature. The divine seer was reduced to a moron's jumping bean. I turned my back on the ghastly spectacle, disillusioned. It wasn't worthy of my worship, or even my attention. It was just another noisy piece of junk, and I was going to need an exceptionally long nap to forget its betrayal.

Leitee 2 Pcs Pogo Stick, Suitable for 80-160 Lbs, Soft Foam Jump Stick, Easy Grip Handles, for Beginners Teens Adults Outdoor Exercise Body Balance Keep Healthy(Blue, Green)

By: Leitee

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented for my inspection a pair of what appear to be brightly-colored, vertical conveyance mechanisms. These "pogo sticks," as the plebeian term goes, are apparently designed for the larger, less graceful members of the household to engage in a ritual of repetitive bouncing. Clad in a garish foam of 'blue' and 'green' over a steel skeleton, they promise to support the ungainly weight of a teenager, an experience I can only imagine is terrifying for all involved. While the ensuing chaos of my human attempting 'balance' could provide some fleeting amusement between naps, the contraption itself is an utter irrelevance to a creature of my refined sensibilities. Its only true potential lies in being a tall, awkward scratching post that is far too unstable for a cat of my distinguished posture.

Key Features

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The box, as always, was magnificent. A fortress of corrugated perfection, which I immediately claimed. The contents, however, were an affront. My human, The Provider, extracted two tall, silent figures, one a garish cerulean and the other a sickly green. She stood them in the corner of the living room, where they loomed like alien sentinels. They were the "Lances of Leitee," and I knew, with the certainty of a cat who has seen a vacuum cleaner emerge from a closet, that they were a portent of doom. For a full day, we were locked in a silent war of nerves. I would stalk the perimeter of the room, my gray tuxedo a blur of stealth against the beige carpet. I’d sit, loaf-like, and stare them down, my gaze a weapon of pure condescension. They did not flinch. Their foam-wrapped bodies and stark, unblinking handles gave away nothing. I crept closer to the green one, sniffing its base. It smelled of factory sterility and faint human desperation. Were they guards? Spies? Their "double bars for more stability," a phrase The Provider had muttered while reading the instructions, sounded like a military specification for an advanced infantry unit. The standoff broke the next afternoon. The Provider, clad in what she clearly believed was athletic attire, seized the green sentinel. My fur stood on end. This was it. The activation. But instead of laser beams or a robotic voice, there was only a tremendous *SPROING-THUMP… SPROING-THUMP*. The Provider was hopping. Unsteadily. Her face was a mask of intense concentration, her movements a symphony of awkwardness. This wasn't an advanced guard; it was a jester's staff. An instrument designed for ritual humiliation. My contempt melted away, replaced by a profound sense of superiority. The great, silent threat was nothing more than a toy for oafs. The green one continued its sad, bouncy dance of futility in the backyard, but the blue one remained, leaning forlornly against the wall. I sauntered over to it, no longer a soldier facing an enemy, but a king surveying his conquered lands. With a deliberate, slow motion, I rubbed my cheek firmly against its soft foam handle, marking it with my scent. It was not a worthy opponent, nor a playable toy. It was simply a monument to my own quiet victory, now properly claimed and cataloged as my property.

NSG Flight Premium Perfomance Pogo Stick - Ages 9 and Up - 80-180 Pounds (Blue)

By: NSG

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a display of questionable judgment that is becoming all too common, has acquired a towering, metallic blue stalk. They call it a "pogo stick." From my analysis of the situation and the box it came in, its purpose is for the baffling ritual of vertical human propulsion. The marketing materials boast of "industrial-strength steel springs" and "hydro-formed steel," which translates to me as "loud, repetitive, and disruptive to my napping schedule." While the promise of my human engaging in "intense cardio" is appealing—an exhausted human is a stationary, warm lap—the object itself holds zero interest. It has no feathers, no crinkle, and a distinct lack of catnip. It is an instrument of human folly, and its only value lies in its potential to tire out the staff.

Key Features

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived on a Tuesday, a day usually reserved for sunbeams and the deep contemplation of dust motes. My human wheeled in the tall, blue totem, propping it against the wall where it stood silent and imposing. It was an affront to the room's feng shui. I circled it warily, my tuxedo-furred chest low to the ground. It smelled of cold steel and rubber, a sterile, lifeless scent. I gave its base a perfunctory sniff, noting the "welded diamond footplate" was disappointingly solid and offered no loose bits to bat around. This was not a toy; it was an ultimatum. My skepticism was validated when the human took the contraption outside to the stone patio. I observed from my royal perch on the windowsill as they mounted the thing, wobbling like a newborn fawn. Then came the first sound—a resonant, spring-loaded *BOING* that vibrated through the glass and into the very core of my being. It was a crude, percussive noise, an assault on the senses. The human, grunting with effort, began a clumsy, rhythmic bouncing. *BOING. SPROING. THUMP. BOING.* It was a chaotic symphony of inelegance. But then, something shifted in my perception. As I watched the relentless, vertical piston action, I closed my eyes and focused on the tremors. They were not random. They were a message, transmitted from the patio, through the foundation, and up into my paws. Each bounce was a syllable in a strange, primal language. A high, clean bounce predicted the imminent opening of the treat cupboard. A wobbly series of hops foretold a distracted human and an opportunity to steal their chair. The squeak of the "Low Friction Spring" was a clear omen that the evening meal would be the good stuff, the paté, not the shredded chunks in gravy. The human, drenched in sweat, finally dismounted, leaving the blue oracle to rest. They saw a workout tool. I saw a seismic interpreter, a direct line to the future of my domestic comfort. The NSG Flight Pogo Stick was not worthy of my play, for it was far too primitive. But it was worthy of my observation. It was a conduit, a bizarre bouncy barometer of my own fortune. I would allow it to stay, for now. The Seer of the House requires his instruments.

By: Razor

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to believe my opinion is required on this... thing. It's a 'Razor Gogo Pogo Stick,' apparently. From what I can gather, it is a vertical propulsion device for the smaller, more chaotic variety of human. It boasts a "lightweight aluminum frame," which I interpret as being unsatisfyingly easy to knock over, and "folding" parts, which I can only hope means it will be put away more often than not. The core of the contraption is an "enclosed spring system," a feature I'm certain is engineered to produce the most nap-shattering, rhythmic *thump-thump-thumping* imaginable. The foam grips might offer a moment's distraction for my claws, but on the whole, this appears to be a sophisticated torture device designed to disrupt the peace of a perfectly well-run household.

Key Features

  • A new twist on an old Classic
  • Features a fully enclosed spring system with low-friction bushings
  • Foldable and more portable then ever before
  • Lightweight aluminum frame construction with folding footrests
  • Also features folding handlebars and foam grips for comfort

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The package arrived under the cover of dusk. My human, whom I've codenamed "The Provider," unboxed it with a suspicious amount of glee. There it stood, folded and silent in the center of my living room floor: a slender black column with strange, retracted appendages. Its designation: Gogo. Its manufacturer: Razor. My mission, should I choose to accept it (and as head of household security, I always do), was to determine its purpose. Was it a newfangled perch? An avant-garde scratching post? The folding handlebars looked like sophisticated antennae, and the footrests, tucked neatly away, were clearly deployable stabilization struts for some unknown, sinister function. I began my surveillance at once, maintaining a low profile behind the sofa. My preliminary sweep revealed little. I performed a scent analysis: a sterile blend of metal, foam, and that new-toy smell that signals a temporary disruption to the status quo. I attempted a gentle nudge with my head; it was firm, unyielding. The "fully enclosed spring system" was the true enigma. A power source? A hidden compartment for treats? I pressed an ear against the main shaft, listening for the telltale hum of advanced technology or the rustle of a hidden bag of salmon snacks. I heard only a faint, ominous silence. The foam grips were a clear tactical weakness; a few well-placed claws could compromise their integrity, but I needed more information before I showed my paw. My cover was blown the next morning when the secondary agent, a small, loud human designated "The Child," entered the operational theater. He unfolded the device with a series of metallic clicks that echoed like a trap being armed. The antennae were raised, the struts deployed. Then, the horror began. The Child mounted the device and commenced a series of jarring, vertical leaps. *Boing. Thump. Boing. Thump.* It wasn't a perch. It wasn't a scratching post. It was a seismic event generator, a tool of chaos designed to rattle the very foundations of my peaceful domain and induce headaches in creatures with superior hearing. I retreated to my command center atop the bookshelf to observe the ensuing pandemonium from a safe distance. The Gogo was a crude but effective instrument of domestic terrorism, disrupting my patrol routes and nap schedules with its rhythmic cacophony. My mission was a success in that I identified the threat. The verdict, however, was clear: this contraption was an abomination, an affront to civilized living. Its only redeeming quality is the high probability that The Child will eventually lose his balance, providing a fleeting moment of slapstick entertainment. Until that blessed moment, I must endure. This is Pete, signing off. The house is compromised.
