Your cat makes a show of being regal and in control, but you could turn all that around with this Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats. It’s a vinyl, 5½-inch-long (14 cm) unicorn horn with a four-point elastic strap system that holds it comfortably on a kitty’s noggin. Why have just a regular cat when you could have a unicat?

Cat jousting at its finest

By

Based on several reviews, I bought this item in the hopes that I too could have a unicorn cat and all the wonderful joy it’s apparently brought to others. Being someone who likes the dichotomy of ebony and ivory, yin and yang, light and dark, Jedi and Sith, I also bought Inflatable Evil Unicorn Horn so that our two cats could have that same type of dichotomy. Well, imagine my surprise when my wife and I attached these to the heads of our cats. Nothing at all happened like the other reviewers have stated has happened to them. I was severely disappointed. However, as I was getting ready to pack these up and ship them back to Amazon for either a replacement or return, I heard an awful racket in the next room. When I went to investigate, imagine my surprise when I found our two cats…JOUSTING! Being a fan of things medieval, I stood there
delighting in the spectacle! I have decided to keep these for our cats and just wanted to let people know what might happen if you mix the two types of unicorn horns. I gave this item five stars, because of the sheer fun I’ve had watching these two joust for kingdom supremacy. The toy’s educational value I rated 5 stars, because this made us go and learn even more about jousting and heralds, which has expanded our knowledge. The toy’s durability I rated 3 stars, but only because they’re inflatable and could potentially pop, which is why my overall rating is only three stars. Bottom line: If you love jousting, and you love cats, then you will LOVE cat jousting!

Must-have for cat owners

Whenever you need to knock your cat down a peg or two, nothing works better than strapping this inflatable horn to its head. It is pretty much cat shame in a box.

All right, for now

While not my favorite mythological creature, a unicorn is certainly an improvement over my boring old cat. This product will do, at least until I find a way to finally turn her into a mermaid.

My cat became a monster

We bought this thinking it was a fun thing to do…how mistaken we were. The minute our cat started wearing the horn, he started flying around the living room, trying to poke everyone in the eyes, all this while singing “Friday” by Rebecca Black, the worst part it was Wednesday. We tried to take it off, he won’t let us, we’ll just have to grow used to having a unicorn cat around the house.

Turned my cat into a jerk

By

I thought it would be fun if my cat looked like a magical unicorn of medieval lore. Not so fun is that he has taken this unicorn mythology a bit too seriously around my girlfriend. Lately, whenever she approaches or tries to pet him, he darts off wildly in a rage. “Only a maiden pure may tame the unicorn!” he says. Jackass.

Changed My Life

By

At first, I didn’t believe all the hype in the reviews, but for $5, it was worth a try. One of my cats believes that he has magical powers anyhow, so why not? Amazon Prime made it even easier and the UPS driver was delivering it within 30 minutes of ordering. After the package was delivered, I noticed the neighborhood cats were peering into my condo from nearby trees. Strange, they never did that before. I decided to try it out on my younger cat since the orange tabby gave me the stink eye when I mentioned it to him. Within 15 minutes of placing the horn on the gray tabby, his personality changed. That’s ok, he never really had a personality to begin with since he was dropped on his head as a kitten. Now, instead of staring at me with eyes of emptiness, his gaze was almost hypnotic. I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to feed him kitty snacks. For some reason, I am stocking up on sardines when grocery shopping. I’ve tried to remove the horn, but whenever I try—it shocks me. For now, I will give this 4 stars. Check back, I will follow up with an update. Meow.
