It literally took me all week and weekend to get the sound down. Not only can you do a cat but I got one down that sounds like a dolphin in distress. All the vendors were walking around doing monkey and bird sounds. A definite jungle theme. The beauty is no matter what you do a persons first reaction is laughter because its a sound like you've never heard. I bought mine for $.50 each compared to the $4 each he wanted originally. Mexico bargaining! I just bought 4 of these whistles in Progress, Mexico this week. It literally took me all week and weekend to get the sound down.

Perhaps the cats recently migrated down from Texas for the winter...?? You will have to stock up next time you're down for a visit... ;) And yeah, the cat in a bag trick never fails to make me chuckle. My sense of humor is obviously very advanced!! :) Nashley– that is a good question! Perhaps the cats recently migrated down from Texas for the winter…??

Hahaha one question ? How long has this "cat in heat" sound toy been there ?? Nuevo Progreso, near my hometown in texas, had this toy for a while. I gotta say maybe from my junior year in high school to just recently, so probably 6 years. The last time I went in December, I noticed the lack of "cats in heat." Lack? What am I saying? Nooooo cat sound at all! And the last time I was in DF I didn't hear it, neither was I at the Mercado. Thank you for telling me where all the cats went! And seriously the cat in the bag trick is so clever, the Tamaulipecos never thought of that one !! Haha :) -Nashely Wow !!! Hahaha one question ?

Mom-- I will expect to see Rocky on your next visit in July. Let Dad know that I will be gathering all my apartment neighbors for a short performance. ;) Joy– hopefully for your sake, Joanna & I are right about this being an “only in Mexico” concept. ;) Also, in the US this thing would cost $5 & no one would pay that much.

I was able to walk 10 feet away from my computer, open bottom drawer in the cupboard, and there he was! Rocky was in the "sleep mode" when I found him, but I'm going to have Dad revive him so Rocky can resume his life of bringing joy to the masses.
