I have been a cat lover all my life. I
was given a male cat, Snuggles, when I was in the first grade and he
lived for 14 years. I never thought I would own a cat until I took in
a female calico cat, Gaby, on December 26, 2007 and in 2009 I took in a
stray Tabby cat, Fred. Sadly, Fred passed away last summer.
This afternoon I received the Petoyo™ Birds Flying Feather Cat Teaser Toy in an oversize box from Amazon.com. I picked the "natural" toy that has feathers and a small bell that are attached to a fishing swivel. The swivel is attached to a black cord and the cord is attached to a 20-inch rod (flexible plastic). You are suppose to wave the cord back and forth in the attempt to recreate the movement of a bird. Though domestic cats are pretty tame, they are still felines, so deep down they still have hunter instincts in them, so this toy should get their attention.

I have had a hard time introducing new toys to Gaby that doesn't have catnip in them, but I didn't have a problem with this toy. I dropped the feathers on the floor and she quickly sneaked over to investigate. I lifted up the feathers with the rod, began waving it around and Gaby went crazy. She absolutely had to catch the feathers. Now Gaby has a short attention span, so she got bored and left the room to get a drink of water. I left the toy on the floor. She returned to the room a few minutes later and went directly to the feathers. Gaby began playing with the toy again. While the toy seems to be sturdy for the time being, I dont' know how long the feathers are going to last as Gaby is determined to yank them out with her teeth. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the Petoyo™ Birds Flying Feather Cat Teaser Toy and Gaby seems to be happy with it too.
You can purchase the neat cat toy on Amazon.com!
