Go Cat Da Bird

The cat toy that gets even lazy indoor cats off the couch. The feathers hang from a long string on a wand of about 36 inches, and when swished through the air they spin and flutter like a real bird, which is far more convincing to a cat than a toy mouse lying on the floor. It is also a gift for the owner, because it turns a few minutes a day into proper play together rather than tossing a toy and hoping. Put it away after each session, since a cat left alone with the string can chew it, and tuck in a pack of replacement feathers: the keenest hunters wear the originals out.
