amazing cat toy
Found a thing in a charity shop today that has the furries
gobsmacked. It's a plastic sphere about the size of a cricket ball (i.e. a bit smaller than a baseball) with a fluffy tail attached. There's an electric motor inside that drives an almost silent assembly that wobbles around, so it moves like an occupied hamster ball. It gives an uncanny impression of something sentient but not very intelligent blundering around. If you see something answering this description, get it, you won't regret it. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts ****** I killfile Google posts - email me if you want to be whitelisted ****** |

They call them weazel balls here, and some of my cats HATE them with a passion. The ones that like them love having them put into a paper bag - makes it much more interesting! Mishi |

They were very popular in the early to mid 90's. Every tourist trap and junk gift store sold them. Kitties were mildly amused for about 15 minutes then completely lost interest. Took the weasel off the ball and they enjoyed it a lot more without the infernal contraption whiring away. |

I seem to remember several people posting about that toy a few years ago. Lots of cats were terrified of it. I guess you have a more intrepid bunch. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

I think it depends upon the cat! There was something similar (with a furry tail - I think "raccoon" figured in the name of the thing) being advertised a couple of years ago. My guys were somewhat interested at first, but after it blundered into the furniture and stalled because it couldn't go around chair legs, they pretty much lost interest. Of course, there really is NOTHING anyone can say that applies to "all cats", is there? (Someone can always cite an exception, even to things that SEEM to be basic rules!) |
