We came up with this toy to excercise our rambunctious ferret, and our kitten Buttercup loves it just as much!
What you need:
One kids fishing pole, we use Shakespeare brand from Walmart for only $9.98! They are cheap, short to use indoors, light and easy to use.
Tie on any cat toy that has enough weight to cast the line, so maybe you have a bunch already!
Simply tie on and cast away!
Tips:
Toys with jingles are great because it draws their attention.
If you need to, Change “lure” to keep them busy and engaged, but they may have a favorite toy to stick with.
Cast in different places around the room or hallway, sit in a place where you have lots of choices! If it looks like they are getting bored, its often that they just became tired of chasing something they know is going to the same spot. Keep them guessing and you’ll be amazed that how long (and full tilt!) your cat will keep playing!
It’s great for people who have mobility issues, because you can cast from your chair or even laying down. It’s also great fun to watch and laugh!
The only down side is very rarely they can tangle themselves for a second if they roll themselves in the line, but I’ve only seen this twice in many, many hundreds of times of fun! They were out in second, once looking a bit startled (not too startled to go right back at it) and once looking embarrassed.
It great for stress, because they can’t be stressed when they are having so much they fall asleep in happy heap from play.
Hope you love it, please show your results!!
