REVIEW : Pets Wonderland Cat Tree

Louie aka WeeWee has this habit of leaping onto our kitchen counter and drinking from the faucet. Cute? Yes. Annoying? HELL YES!

So I decided to go to Pets Wonderland at Paradigm Mall to search for a cat tree for him. I read an article somewhere that cats love high grounds. You know, it's a territorial thang.. Anyway, I went there and all the tall cat trees are waaaaay beyond my budget. After annoying the staff with so many questions (she was very patient and helpful though), I finally decided upon a fairly decent one for RM93.90. 

Sorry, don't know what brand. Not mentioned on the box, nor in the receipt :/

He just upgraded himself to Mr Nosy Inspector

-.-'

After 20 minutes....

Voila!

I put him there, of course. LOL! He sniffed a little and started grooming himself. I assume he likes it?

Overall Score: 4.0/5

Pros:

• Easy to assemble
• Instructions easy to understand - no words though, just pictures
• Good quality
• Friendly staff (Look for Stephanie. She's very helpful!)

Cons:

• Not sturdy/stable
• He's not using it.

It's been two days now, and frankly he just walks past it like it doesn't exist! So I'm teaching him to get up by using treats and the command "Up". Been progressing well so far. Will keep you guys updated!

Note: Originally I purchased a different model exactly like this one...

As I was assembling it, I noticed there was one screw missing. So I went back to the store to get the screw but later exchanged it with a different model entirely because WeeWee couldn't fit into the pouch. I laughed my head off seeing him squeezed into the pouch like a stuffed potato. He, on the other hand, was not amused. 

It was still funny though. :'D

UPDATE! He's still not using it. Grr.. oh well. Siapa nak?

Earth Hour 2015

So I went to the Earth Hour Night Walk at Sunway Pyramid last night and IT WAS SO COOL! If you are a WWF-Malaysia donor, you will get invitations to amazing events like this.

This was my first night walk, although I've been supporting Earth Hour for many years. There were two major places for this year's Earth Hour Malaysia - Penang and Selangor. I believed there was another one in Sabah but there's not much hype about it. Event started from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm, but by 7.30 pm the crowds were already building up.

The emcees were hilarious. There was a cosplay event happening on the same day so many curious cosplayers were there to see what the hype is all about. Boleh plak emcee tu gi tarik sorg to the front. Sorg kena tarik, the rest followed. Yg lg satu emcee gigih kejar a female cosplayer around the building. Not sure whether he managed to call her out though. Fun part is, the other participants cheered loudly for them. Very Malaysian lah!

I didn't take any photo of the walk because, duhh, it was dark. But all I can say is, it was a well organized, very happening one.

Just before the walk

Done! Yay for the goodies!

I'm going for next year's event, that's fosho. Maybe this time, a volunteer? *excited*

Just some fyi's...

What is Earth Hour?

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF that aims to create awareness to conserve energy. Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and has attracted more than 100 countries ever since!

What do I do during Earth Hour?

Show your support by switching off all lights for one hour (yes, just one hour) from 8.30 pm - 9.30 pm. However, your support should not end there. Go the extra miles by instilling awareness of global warming by joining campaigns, reduce carbon footprint by the 3R methods (reduce, reuse, recycle), change to hybrid cars (I'm saving up money to buy one myself!) and many more.

How do I participate in the Earth Hour Malaysia Night Walk?

Just fill out the online form on its official website. Not sure if the website remains the same each year but I registered at pandashop.my/earthhour2015. Pay RM60 for the walk pack (consists of an Earth Hour T-Shirt, a car decal, e-certificate of participation, and a 10% voucher for pandashop.my). You will then receive a confirmation email together with the receipt. A few weeks before the event, they will inform you where and when to collect the walk pack (yes, it's self-collect). You can also register on the event day itself but t-shirt sizes are limited! Profits from the walk will be used for conservation purposes. Noble plus fun, isn't it?
