So in just 3 weeks Rivel has mauled her feather stick beyond recognition and has started getting bored of it due to it not look like prey anymore
There used to be a huge plume, a bell, and several more strands of feather. I pluck loose feathers too so Rivel can't accidentally swallow them during the act "killing "
She is very picky regarding toys and automatic toys are all bust so far. I have catit sense 2.0 circuit, a battery operated fish that flops around, crinckle ball. the only thing she would play is the stick due to my part acting as a prey. I really have to get into it during play. As a prey, i hide behid objects, sometimes under cover of sheets, under pillows, run away, pretend to sniff stuff an try to emulate small animal's movement. If you do it right she will pounce and chase it like lions in documentary shows and she's getting better by the days. When she first came home i have to let her win to catch the feathers, but now she's getting a lot faster and accurate.
The feather stick however, is in the end of its life. I either have to buy a new one, or maybe fix it by buying chicken feather and glue it. Ehat glue are safe to use?
Also what kind of stick do you guys use? I prefer cordless one because i have better control of it. Rivel won't be convinced if i just flop the bait around like bungee jumping mouse or bird.
