Kitty Tease
(www.kittytease.com)
All my Kitty
Tease
are now gone
but
I will have the replacement
string packs for several years
see below for string pack information
(Cat toy/Exerciser "Trims The Fat From Your Overweight Cat")
I'm so sure your cat will like the Kitty Tease
that I offer you a 30 DAY Full Money Back Guarantee
and that includes the S&H , I
believe in it that much.
&
Its the only cat toy with a full year
warranty on any of it's major parts.
(Rod, Tip, & Handle)
This cat toy is American Made, a fact that I am very proud of.
| Special string
pack information; Since my Son Adam was 9, I sent the string pack orders his way which allowed him to learn a little about this business and he certainly has enjoyed the things it brought him. He is now 17 and no longer very interested in the operation with the slowdown and all. In order to keep the string pack orders moving along those orders will now have to go through me once again. I have indicated that on the string pack order section below. I am leaving what was up so you can see how this little operation has evolved and with the hopes that another just starting out with a similar operation may do the same with their child. John Galkiewicz In order for
my son Adam (9 at this writing) to see just why I enjoy making and
selling the Kitty Tease so much I have turned over the little "string
pack" operation to him. He now gladly fills those orders when
they come in and is more John Galkiewicz |

(Effective Jan 7nd, 2008)
The original
replacement string packs (Line & Cloth) for the Kitty Tease are
still just $1.00 each but you need to send
a self-addressed stamped
envelope with the order, if you don't I will subtract $2
from the order to do one up for you and put the postage on. The
new postal regulations makes it difficult to determine the correct
postage, as a result you may have to pay additional postage
at your end. I will try to remember to put my black ink stamp of
three kittens in a basket on the envelope so you know the envelope has
your string packs. For now, if you
order between 5 and 10 string packs, which is all I can get into a
regular Business envelope, the postage
seems to be 97
cents (large 2 oz. letter
rate and a bendable 1/4" thick). If you need four or less string
packs you may get by with just 58 cents in
postage on a smaller envelope. So if you
have to pay a little more postage on your end you know it isn't my
fault as I did my best.
Please make your check out to me "John Galkiewicz" and mail it to; "String Packs" If your envelope
doesn't says "String Packs" on it I will be
returning the order. |
Voted, "Best Cat Toy
in the Last 30 Years" by the readers of
CAT FANCY magazine
for their 30th Anniversary
In 1983, John
Galkiewicz's neighbors suggested that he manufacture and sell that cat
toy he had invented and was always using on his cats. John
applied for a patent on the toy and started taking the buggy whip like
cat toy to East coast cat shows. His "Kitty Tease" soon became a hit on
the show circuit. The cat shows soon led to sales to pet shops
which then led to the beginning of a small mail order operation as well.
When asked
why his Kitty Tease worked so well on virtually all cats his response
was, "Because it was originally designed for a cat and not someone's
purse or wallet. You control all the action, cats can't kill it
and it just keeps getting away." John then remember his father's
words when John told him he was going to go into business selling his
cat toy, "Don't make a cheap product; make a product you will always be
proud of and give it a warranty that reflects that pride." John
did just that and the "Full Year" warranty on each and
every Kitty Tease rod, handle, and tip is still unmatched in the
industry today. Each Kitty Tease also comes with its own
informative and quite extensive "Owners'
Guide", something you just don't expect with a cat toy but
then again this isn't your regular cat toy.
When CAT
FANCY magazine had their 30th Anniversary they held a contest
where their readers could vote for the best cat products, by
category. Though no single product was the sole winner in any one
category, when the balloting was over only 2 cat toys made it to "First
Place" and there was the Kitty Tease, voted "Best Cat Toy In The Last 30 Years."

and get "FREE" String Packs. In the "Vietnam Moments" section of my web site, in the story entitled "The First Months", Condrey hated to see me eat a certain kind of food. If you can tell me what that food was I will give you a free string pack for every Kitty Tease you order on orders of 2 or more Kitty Tease. |
Three Sizes of Kitty Tease to Choose From.
way and hopefully the sooner the
better, it just might make a whole lot more cats happy as well. Kitty Tease (Now Sold Out) My most popular model by far. It is 36" long and was designed so that you could play with your cat from the comfort of your favorite chair while watching TV. It is for full room use and will produce all the jumps, spins and flips that made the Kitty Tease famous. These Kitty Tease will come in a slightly oversized bag, which I still have left over from the old days, as the correct sized bags are now gone. Limit of three (3) per month.
No
Longer Available
Kitty Tease Deluxe (Now Sold Out) The Kitty Tease Deluxe is the 2 piece Traveler Version of the regular size Kitty Tease. It is the same length (38") as the regular size Kitty Tease but incorporates a high quality ferrule that allows it to come apart for ease of storage in virtually any suitcase. I'll need more than handles to get this one going again.
Shipping & Handling: (Nothing Now to ship) I only charge one $6.00 S&H charge for multiple orders going to one address. If I can get them all in the same tube or box, I'm not going to charge you extra for it because I'm more than happy to be getting the additional orders. That's the way I would want to be treated so that's the way you'll be treated. Besides that, it gets a lot more Kitty Tease to a lot more cats that way. I usually ship all orders the day I get them via 3 Day Priority Mail for orders of 1-3 Kitty Tease. Orders of 4 or more Kitty Tease I usually ship via UPS ground for the same price. Orders going to businesses are usually shipped UPS so someone will have to sign for the package. If you don't receive your order in a few days it is probably sitting in the mailroom because someone is not doing their job, this happens quite a bit. If you have special shipping requirements just ask, I'm flexible.
Gift Orders: A lot of my customers are so amazed by their cat's reaction to the Kitty Tease that they wish to share the experience with other relatives or cat owning friends. If you wish to include a note with any gift order going to a different address I will gladly include it with the shipment. If you don't know exactly what to say, a lot of people simply make it "From Jumper to Smoky, Enjoy!" I think making it from one cat to another is a nice personal touch.
Canadian & Foreign
Orders: If
you have a U.S. checking account or someone that can send in the order
for you I can ship your order via AIR PARCEL
POST (over 24" limit for small packages)(2 Kitty Tease and 3 string
packs ship at 1 pound) but can
not guarantee that the order will arrive. That has
not been a problem though. I can email a copy of the Postal receipt, which will be
rather highj, on request if so
desired.
S&H will only be $1.00 over actual
postage but that postage is HIGH.
Shipping to military addresses
overseas is no problem and can be shipped at the regular rate. I
highly suggest you order a few
string packs with your order.
Something Special
Probably the most exciting part of running a mail order business is getting to read all the nice letters that people take the time to write to me. Most bring a big smile to me but some bring a little sadness when they share the loss of a life's companion. For a lot of people out there, their pet carries official "People Status". I would like to share one of these special letters with you. It comes from Mary Louise Brennan in Mahanoy City, PA who had just lost "Melody", a very very special cat that brought much meaning and joy into her life. I now share this with you in memory of Mrs. Brennan's "Melody".
The Rainbow Bridge
(Dedicated to all those who have lost their best friend, their pet)
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is call "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.I have truly been "blessed" by having been given the necessary "tools" in order to bring the Kitty Tease and my other inventions to market. Since 1983 I have been self-employed and boy have I ever enjoyed it. How nice it is to look forward to Monday while so many others do not. How nice it is also to be here with my son and be able to juggle my schedule to fit into his world of activities. How nice it is to work out of one's home and be able to wake up each morning knowing there is no set schedule to adhere to. Like I say, I have truly been blessed!
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are made young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing, they are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose begins to twitch, the ears are up, and the eyes are suddenly starring, and suddenly this one runs from the group.
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed and licked again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
You then cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never ever again to be separated.(Author Unknown)

the author of "Rainbow Bridge" is Paul Dahm who now resides on the Oregon Coast)

happy with the spending money it provides him. When he gets good
and use to the "easy" side of the string pack operation I'll start
having him make them up too so he can see just what it takes to get to
the "easy" part. That should give him a good firm business
foundation for later years. So if you just need
string packs please send your order directly to him at the
