Cat’s Toy

While living with cats, I designed many Cat’s Toy.

or cat’s Teaser.

After all, cats are still the hunter = they chase

anything moves, though, the birds are a bit too

fast ( still, they brought me 2 sparrows and one

wood pigeon ! —— this pigeon was as big as the

cat, Pino II herself. —– But they are the headache on the “Diplomatic Protocol”

= Gift has to be accepted with full gratitude and has to be eaten. M m m ? 😀

When they saw a bird they make very peculiar sound like clacking noise “Ka ka ka — ka ka ka”

And flying Butterfly makes them excite most.

= So, I designed a Cat Teaser using the Bird’s Feather which fly like a flapping Butterfly.

= On the Photo above, 3 Feathers were arranged to make a propeller (to make it rotate) then

short elastic string was used between Ball-chain and Feathers. Elastic string gives flexibility

when the feather was caught by a cat (to prevent cat’s nail to break). And the Ball-chain

allow the feather propeller to rotate. (—– In short, it is a fly-fishing rod for a cat. 😀 )

The game is, moving the feather propeller on front of a cat, but keep it never be caught.

Whole string was tied on top of a collapsible Radio-Antenna, hence it became very small.

In fact, it would give a good exercise to the cats, and to the cat’s owner alike.

= Cat catches it first, or you pull it a moment before ? 🙂

Wow, that’s a dedicated cat companion, designing such clever toys. I love that top shot: great color and movement. It really does look like a butterfly-bird. 🙂

I just played with my cats a few minutes ago, but I’ve never made them a toy. I’ll have to commission you!:)

  No problem. Just send me your snail-mail address.
  On return, you may draw quick sketch of me (I’ll send you photo to refer).

  Yes, in deed. It works perfect, as long as it was kept “Not caught”.
  Once a cat on the street jumped and caught it straight, —– and gave a
  devastating bite to destroy it.
