I think wand or da bird play is way different then playing fetch. She needs to hunt. My cat and my mom's cats love the pet4life fishing rod toy .... especially the ones with the feather attachment! I think if you work 15 minutes of wand play into her play schedule and maybe some laser light hunting in the morning ... will help tire her out. Plus you can lock her in your room and give her a bird watching window while you are at work.
My beloved hyper punk taught me that you have to wear them out mentally and physically. The only thing that kept me from shaving him a little was his afternoon outside bird 'hunting' time. So the bird feeder will help, I swear.
I'm so sorry you lost your cat. I lost my bud a little while ago to. There is a forum on this website called crossing the bridge ...... it helped me ..... though I still miss him. Chances are high that your kitten is also responding to your stress. She misses your other cat to. I talk to my kitten and tell him how much I miss his 'Dad' (my cat mommied the kittens) it helped me with my grief.
