Tanada had some very interesting things to say
about Remember the Weasel Ball?:

Back about a couple of years ago, we were all buying weasel balls for
our cats to play with. These were a hard plastic ball, with batteries
inside running a motor and a "fur" tail on the outside. It was supposed
to look like a weasel attacked the ball and was rolling around the floor
with it. I don't remember what most of your cats' reactions to it was,
but our cats thought it was pretty lame.

Felix was scared to death of it.
